Japan at Night: Osaka's Street Food Tour at the famous Dotonbori Area

I've heard Osaka often referred to as "The Kitchen of Japan". That certainly is a ringing endorsement and I couldn't resist to try out all the foods and dishes Osaka has to offer. But, this time I wasn't going at it alone, I've booked a food tour to see if I can get some local advice. Thanks to Meg, our culinary guide for this adventure, we set off to tour Osaka's culture and food scenes.
From temples and shrines, to the evening food markets, we had wonderful activity filled evening exploring Osaka's recommended Okonomiyaki, Kushikatsu and Okonomiyaki spots! We ended the tour in Osaka's famous Dotonbori Area. And while the tour was over and our appetites full, there was so much more to explore and I can't wait to explore together.
More food destinations with signs tempting you with the giant crab and globes of Takoyaki, I quickly gave in....a plate of Takoyaki, a few skewers of Yakitori, and some dessert, Dotonbori is quite a lively place to visit!

I spent a week in Osaka, years ago. Osaka is the home of the Japanese mint. The food is great. The crabs, fish are delicious; but the Kobe beef which is close to Osaka, is unforgettable! I cannot forget the distinctive cuisine throughout Japan.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Ohh, the Kobe beef sounds amazing. Really enjoying Osaka as well…much more laid back😀

[@pmf2994]

@@TimLeeLetsGo When in Japan go to any Takashimya Department store, they have an amazing food section, at “affordable” prices.

This is probably your shortest video! yet you were still able to showcase such exotic gems and bring us on an adventure! 🙏😮

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thank you so much… there were so many things to explore, but was just too full 😋

Definitely agree… the seafood is so nice

The takoyaki and everything for that matter looks delicious. Even though I had dinner, watching your videos make me hungry! Love your videos. Keep it up!

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thank you again. The street food is so much fun 😀

[@darryldraper9708]

I was born Canadian now living in St. Augustine Fl. The oldest city in America. My husband and I would love to host you and show you what the city has to offer.

[@MrKaido93]

Wow Tim, you definitely do "get around"! The quality and pricing of Japanese street food in Osaka looks superb! Yaki Soba is an all time favorite. The Takoyaki really caught my eye, that looks awesomely scrumptious and @ 600 Yen=$4.00 excellent prices! Until next time, wishing you safe journeys and adventures.

[@DavidSriracha]

Even at 9pm and it's this packed 😮you brought the big camera to Japan 😄

Omg, we were there! We actually went to Starbucks to have the Sakura Coffee during Cherry Blosson season. So fun! Enjoy!!!! Oh and we went to the Hedgehog Cafe! Haha

Osaka has a lot of great street food. The city also has a great baseball team.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

I should have checked if there was a baseball game available... next time

[@sukimada7482]

I usually go to Osaka with friends by ourselves. Hiring a guide to assist seems a good idea - to save time and to eat more😂.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

It was nice to get to meet some new travellers on the tour. Nice way to get introduced to the city😋

[@snappop]

i was in japan for 2 weeks and my favourite meal i had was gyukatsu motomura, i ate there 4 times! try it out tim

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thank you so much for the great suggestion! Noting it down😀

[@ericleeSupSayK]

So much food on this street. Why was the Dotonbori vlog so short lol

[@andyl9920]

Just $4 for Takoyaki. I thought it would cost more in Japan. Nice! Looks meaty too!

[@1975tbm]

Hey, any other areas at night worth visiting for a family apart from Dotonbori? Enjoyed your video

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Dotonburi is quite amazing at night. There are so many places to eat at night as well, but they're usually small shops and there is a significant lineup as well. Sometimes waiting two hours for a bowl of ramen at midnight....

[@keithss67]

Looks tastier and more fun than that dried out beat Hilton hotel buffet 🎉

This was so much fun 😀

[@heatherrennie2692]

Hello Tim I'm so jealous that you get to eat melon pan. It's my favorite food . I would eat every day. Theres so many sight tasty treats. I tried Takoyaki with Bonito flake on top. I wouldn't like it as I only eat tuns, Cod, Haddock And White Fish. Don't know what white fish is taste like Cod to me. But I really liked. Them the other thing you've already tasted. .Okonomiyaki . is there a food you don't like but found on your travels that they made it taste and you were shocked about liking it their way. X😮 How safe is it do you think for a lone disabled female who wants to visit Japan.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thank you so much for taking the time to reach out... That was the first time trying melon bread and it was very delicious. I would highly recommend travel even to japan.. safely though. You just do need to be a little bit cautious because there is somewhat limited accessibility service in japan, although Tokyo and other major cities should be fine. Probably not to the standards of north america, but definitely lots of elevators and accessibility features

[@NOTnightowl]

Kiryu-san????

[@JohnSpawn243]

What is it like to communicate in English in Osaka?

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

It was perfectly fine. People there were very accommodating, and a little bit of Google Translate always helps.

What day of the week was this?

4:54 It's not proper to walk and eat in Japan. Sheesh 😮

[@anthonygomez8506]

Totally overated you can get tkoyaki anywhere in Japan. Dontonburi overcrowded and no public toilets nearby. Same foods everywhere you go if you like extreme crowds and can hold you shit then all means go. Good luck!

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

It was pretty crowded and definitely a tourist area. Full tourist mode here.😉
