If food is the love-of-your-life (hi, same), Osaka will spoil you.
Here’s one food combo I’d happily fly back for:
🥩 Gyukatsu Motomura (Namba branch)
This crispy-on-the-outside, juicy-on-the-inside beef cutlet hits differently.
The meat arrives rare on the inside, and you grill it yourself on a mini hot plate.
Be prepared to queue, but trust me — it’s worth every second.
🦪 Kuromon Ichiba Market
Just a short walk away, this open-air market is literal foodie heaven.
✔️ Wagyu beef skewers
✔️ Uni-topped sushi
✔️ Fresh scallops flamed on the spot
✔️ Random street snacks you didn’t plan to eat but absolutely will
📌 Tip: Bring cash and come hungry — you’ll need both.
🌟 Final Thoughts
If you’re in Osaka for even just 48 hours, this is THE food adventure I’d recommend.
Japan Regional Area Passes – Kansai and Kyoto
Japan Transport – Suica card
Perfect for lunch-hopping, solo cravings, or even a fun date. 🍜
