It may not be a michelin-star dining experience, though this is one of our hot-spots in Osaka when we're after a quick refuel and casual dinner. Unassuming, though big on flavour, pop into Takoyaki Yamachan for some of the tastiest octopus balls. Served with 'Young B' (soy sauce and mayo) or our favourite 'goma-shio' (sesame oil and salt), this makes for an incredibly moreish supper.
