Meeting under the centrally located Tsutenkaku tower at 9.30am, you will be escorted to our bike storage facility for a quick bike fitting before riding the short distance to our first food stop in the Shin Sekai neighbourhood of south Osaka. Depending on the tastes of the group, you will start your tour with street oden, tofu or doteyaki before getting back on the bikes and riding up to Japan's oldest temple (Shitennoji). At the temple we will stop for a photos and a short explanation of the area before riding down the slope into the Tsuruhashi market. We will spend approximately 40-60 minutes in the market, meeting local stall holders and sampling a range of market snacks before heading for a sit down wagyu beef taster. From here, we head ride back through the streets making a stop at Tower Knives, where you will get to try your hand with Osaka's sharpest export! Our final food stop is a local run sushi shop where we will recommend a set of nigiri rolls as well as assorted kushikatsu skewers which we will be delivered from next door! From here it is a 2 minute ride back to base where you will drop the bikes off and head out for the afternoon.
