Full Description

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.
