About the Food: Osaka's Best Dishes

Since Osaka is known (unofficially) as the culinary capital of Japan, it's probably one of the best places to go grab some authentic Japanese grub. I've asked our accountant David (our resident Japan expert, who has visited Osaka), and asked him which three foods are the best in the city. Here's what he recommends:

 

 

 

 

1. Takoyaki

This scrumptious food is a delicacy unlike any other - fried octopus is covered in a floury dough makes for a great treat that you can pick up in a market on the go. But make sure you get it fresh, the ones straight off the grill and freshly prepared are the ones to go for - none of that cold business.

 

 

2. Okonomiyaki

This dish is a whopper: a mix of another floury dough and your choice of meats and veggies is fried, and then topped with a savory fruit and vegetable sauce, mayonnaise, seaweed seasoning, plus large fish flakes (that wave in the heat if it's fresh!). Okonomiyaki is also best served hot, and is a customizable dish that will let you enjoy just what you want out of it - yum!

 

 

3. Fugu

You've heard of this one - puffer fish! Although the fish is poisonous, chefs go through rigorous training to be able to prepare the fish correctly, so you can eat it. It is served both raw, cooked, or in soup. Because it is so expensive to obtain, it is often served with bones as restaurants don't want to waste precious fish. The bones are cooked, and you're expected to eat them. This is the dish for the adventurous eaters - but make sure you get a good one!
