Experience the “eat until you drop” culture of Osaka in Shinsekai, a nostalgic playground for food lovers. Join a local guide for a flavorful walk through Osaka’s retro food haven, sampling iconic dishes and discovering the soul of the city.
Step into the nostalgic streets of Shinsekai, one of Osaka’s most iconic food districts, and treat your taste buds to 12 must-try local dishes. On this small-group tour, your expert guide will lead you through local eateries while sharing stories and fun facts about Osaka’s legendary food culture.
Start at the Osaka Shinsekai Post Office, just steps from Ebisucho Station. Kick off your tour with piping-hot takoyaki (octopus balls), and learn why this snack is a staple in Osaka homes.
Wander through the neon-lit alleys of Shinsekai before sitting down for okonomiyaki, a savory Japanese pancake filled with cabbage, meats, or seafood and topped with special sauces. Watch it cook right in front of you and enjoy every bite.
Next, dig into a kushikatsu feast—deep-fried skewers of meat, seafood, and vegetables served with a signature dipping sauce. Just remember: no double-dipping! You’ll also try doteyaki, a local slow-cooked beef tendon stew rich in umami.
End your culinary adventure at Billiken Shrine, where rubbing the statue’s feet is said to bring good luck. Don’t forget to snap a photo with Tsutenkaku Tower in the background—a perfect memento of your flavorful Osaka journey.
