Osaka Food Walk: Dotonbori St. to Kuromon Kitchen (Incl. Food)

Destination大阪市, Japan
Duration2 hours
Tour sizeMax 8
LanguageGerman, Japanese, Spanish, Italian, French, English

Overview

Most travelers think Osaka means Dotonbori neon, takoyaki, photos. Ten minutes south sits the 200-year-old market that actually feeds it. You'll walk both, with someone who knows where the sushi chefs buy at dawn.

Two hours, two districts, a handful of hand-picked bites. Down Dotonbori first kushikatsu, takoyaki with crispy edges, okonomiyaki stacked the local way. Then south to Kuromon: seared scallops, sashimi from a shop with no English sign, grilled eel, and a sweet from a 100-year-old wagashi case.

Stand-and-eat etiquette, English-speaking Osaka local, max 8 guests. Water at every stop, vending machines along the way — drinks not included.
