Osaka
in Japan

Okonomiyaki, the dish famous to Osaka, is the speciality at Fukutaro. It's always a hive of activity, so though you should expect to wait for a table we assure you, you won't be disappointed. 

This hidden gem will have you feeling like a true local. Known as a tachinomi-ya (or standing, drinking bar), Ginzaya is relaxed, low-key, yet, extremely popular. Join the crowds milling around sipping on a beer, or sake, and nibbling on some sashimi, crab cream croquettes, and beef tataki. An evening well spent!          

The spot to go for some delicious oden; order the chef's choice and it won't let you down. Hanakujira honten is a popular spot so be prepared to wait in line whilst inhaling the glorious smells of the soup stock, tofu, and marinating ginger. 

It can be a tough decision to decide between the oasis of eateries in Osaka. If you're in the mood for an easy lunch, or a laid-back dinner, however, then Naniwa Okina won't disappoint. Serving up handmade soba noodles in a scrumptiously, slurpable broth, no matter the season this spot is one of our go-to's.
