We start your evening in the Shin-sekai area of Osaka, a place most visitors know of as strictly a place for Osaka style foods and garish sights. Behind the flash, however, lies the semi-fertile remnants of a secret society. Yes, it's The Men Who Do Things with Other Men. Back in the day (which was not quite as long ago as you may think, and is in some quarters not even in the past), gay men dutifully got married to women, thought sexy thoughts to make babies with their wives, and then proceeded to live secret lives in "membership" bars and gay saunas. Nowadays some of these more cellared Adonises do in fact live with at least one foot tentatively out of the closet, but the culture and camaraderie of the "our little secret" lifestyle lives on in Technicolor-hued reality here in the Shin-sekai area. We'll walk around, chat, peek, and depending on the crowd, may even stop by one of the bars. While down yonder in Shin-sekai, we'll nibble on some tasty treats because, as it turns out, the food is pretty darn good in these parts. Our light dinner and drink here is included in the tour price. We've got some of that vaunted flexibility (and an undoubtedly healthy dose of innuendo), so we can choose what to eat based on your likes and dislikes. Popular options include "kushi katsu" (fried items on sticks) and also a series of small plates like miso-simmered beef tendon, or on the more straight and narrow, tempura, tofu varieties, grilled chicken, etc. We'll get you clicking your heels one way or another.
