Must Eat Osaka Food: Okonomiyaki<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Japanese savoury cabbage-based grilled pancakes, dating back to the Edo period. Osaka\u2019s style of Okonomiyaki is the most popular version. The pan-fried mixed batter includes quite a few savoury ingredients, including egg, cabbage and yam. Once cooked, it is then topped with a variety of ingredients, making it almost like a pizza.<\/p>\n

\"Japanese<\/p>\n

Popular fillings include shrimp, octopus, pork belly and cheese. The pancake is then topped off with the sweet and thick\u00a0Otafuku<\/em>\u00a0okonomiyaki sauce (similar to plum sauce) and dried bonito flakes. Wasabi, Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise and seaweed are some other great ingredients.<\/p>\n

Must Eat Osaka Food<\/strong>: Kushikatsu<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Skewered deliciousness. All sorts of ingredients, lightly battered, skewered on bamboo\u00a0kushi\u00a0<\/em>and fried to just the right level that you don\u2019t feel guilty. You can have breaded prawns, chicken, mixed vegetables, quail eggs and a whole host of other choices. Dip in delicious sauce and enjoy.

Best Kushikatsu in Osaka:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Daruma Kushikatsu<\/strong>\u00a0is a family-run chain of restaurants in Osaka, with good service and very good Kushikatsu. Order a set of 12 skewers to sample a good range of meats and veg. The essential kushikatsu sauce here is very yummy. You get a generous serving. But no double dipping! This is a pretty serious rule of etiquette.<\/p>\n

Best Kept Secret:\u00a0Nakatsu City Cafes<\/h3>\n

Nakatsu City is a pretty castle town. Not only is the setting perfect, so is the food. There are lots of gourmet restaurants in Nakatsu but we\u2019re even bigger fans of all the great cosy cafes. A hipster\u2019s dream perhaps? \"nakatsu-coffee-osaka-cafe\"<\/a>\u00a0Photo CC2.0 \/\u00a0Sotaro OMURA<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
