Top 4 Foods in Osaka That You Must Try

The largest city in Western Japan is Osaka. There are several foods here that few Japanese people outside of Osaka are aware of. I'd like to introduce you to some of the tasty and affordable cuisine that Osaka residents enjoy.

 

Yakiniku

1. Yakiniku

Meat is grilled over a fire and served with sauce in yakiniku. It resembles a self-service BBQ with just meat served inside. It is not comparable to a steak. You might say that it is a dish that began in Osaka because it is Korean in origin and it is believed that a Korean who lived in Osaka started the trend. The largest Korean Town in the Kansai region is now centered in Tsuruhashi, Osaka. Many yakiniku restaurants may be found there. Visit a restaurant close to Tsuruhashi in Osaka if you want to taste amazing yakiniku.

 

The "Tsuruichi", "Ajiyoshi", "Manryo", "Tajimaya" and "Itamae Yakiniku Itto" are five of Osaka's most well-known Kushikatsu eateries.

Horumon

2. Horumon

The roasted internal organs of pigs or cows are horumon. It is comparable to Yakiniku, with the exception that we use premium meat for Yakiniku. For Horumon, we consume the previously unconsumed organs. This cuisine is also from Osaka, and you could argue that only the incessantly pragmatic inhabitants of Osaka could have thought of it. In the majority of Yakiniku and Izakaya (Japanese style) eateries in Osaka, it is a standard menu.

 

The "Sora", "Manno Horumon-ho", "Umeda Horumon-do", "Kadoya Horumon-ten", and "Horumon Yamato" are five of Osaka's well-known horumon & yakiniku eateries.

Doteyaki

3. Doteyaki (stewed beef sinew)

Doteyaki is a sort of Horumon cuisine that consists of beef sinew stewed with miso, sweet sake, and sugar. Additionally, it is available in yakiniku and izakaya restaurants. Because of its robust flavor, it pairs well with beer and other alcoholic beverages. You may purchase this common side dish at supermarkets or butcher shops.

 

Butaman

4. Butaman

Chinese steamed buns are called butaman. It is prepared by steaming a dough made of flour, water, and yeast that has been wrapped around a mixture of pork and vegetables. 551Horai is renowned in Osaka for its Butaman. Nanba, Osaka, is home to their original store. However, the majority of the sizable department stores in and around Osaka also carry it. If you get the chance, I urge you to sample one because they are all handcrafted and may be purchased fresh from the steamers.

Top 4 Foods in Osaka That You Must Try

Japanese cuisine, including sushi and tempura, is now available worldwide. So make sure to sample the local specialties when you visit Osaka. Or try the Konamono the staple dish of the Osaka people for which Osaka is known. You should definitely look into private tour groups or private guides if you are visiting Osaka for the first time or are overwhelmed by the cultural or linguistic differences that come with traveling. If you want to add to your experience in Osaka with more activities than just sampling the local cuisine, you should definitely check out some of the excursions that offer excellent cultural encounters. The benefit of having a guide is that many Japanese menus are only shown in one language, so you may not want to run the risk of wasting time getting lost or not knowing what food items to order.
