Osaka Bar Hopping: Real Izakayas, Pay Local Prices

About
Namba after dark has bars with no English menu and no room for a tour group, six seats at a counter, the owner two feet away. We get you in.
First stop's on us: two drinks, sake, a highball, or a Japanese sour, however the night calls it.
Your guide knows the owners well enough to seat you where a walk-in tourist wouldn't get past the door. From there expect local craft beer, more sake, and whatever the bar's actually known for.
What makes this different: we keep groups small on purpose, max 8 guests. A 20-person crawl can't fit into a 6-seat izakaya. We can. That's the whole idea, and it's why the bars let us in at all.
Good fit for: ・Travelers who want a real night out, not a photo-op ...

A counter bar everyone in Namba walks past without noticing. Locals know better. Order whatever the guy next to you is having, chat with the bartender, and get a feel for a place where nobody's performing for tourists.

Wrap up the night at a hidden bar tucked right next to Dotonbori. Try local sake, or better yet, the famous Obanzai. Ever heard of it? If not, that's exactly why you should join us, we'll let your guide explain it over a drink.
