Osaka Eats 🤤
1. Tonkatsu Daiki
Best Tonkatsu I had ever, the meat was so tender, esp the round cut ones

2. Kuromon Maru
Located in Kuromon Market
We ordered the simple melon to try and it was so sweet and juicy! Ice cream was also one of the milkiest I had

3. Gyukatsu Tomita
Life changing gyukatsu, each customer is given a personal stove to sear the meat to perfection! The meat was soo tender

4. Yakitori Cassiwa Chayamachi
We were looking for a Yakitori place and stumbled on this one near our accoms. Super yummy and flavourful
/Yakitori Cassiwa Chayamachi: 1 Chome-7-2 Shibata, Kita Ward, Osaka, 530-0012, Japan
5. Cafe Tipo8
Really aesthetic cafe serving legit coffee - they roast their own beans 🫘. Near to Umeda sky building, nice place to relax after lots of walking
/CAFE TIPO8: 5 Chome-2-9 Nakatsu, Kita Ward, Osaka, 531-0071, Japan
Special mention:
6. Okonomiyaki Sakura
We were also looking for Okonomiyaki and found this place in the basement of Umeda station. Need to order 1 per person, so can be quite filling. But the Okonomiyaki was great when paired with their Asashi beer
/Okonomiyaki Sakura: 9-10 Kakudacho, Kita Ward, Osaka, 530-0017, Japan
Happy eating! :)
