Japan's kitchen
Once called the nation’s kitchen, Osaka is a true food city; home to endless alleys and sidestreets packed with restaurants, izakayas, bars, street stalls & more.
But with English still rare in most areas, many tourists end up sticking to the ‘safer’ areas while missing out on the real Osaka a short train ride away.
