Osaka Street Food Guide: Dotonbori ★ ONLY in JAPAN #23 大阪道頓堀食い倒れ挑戦 | Tokyo
Information | History | View | Sightseeing | Video
Osaka is known as Japan's kitchen and for good reason! It's loaded with some of the best and cheapest restaurants and street stands anywhere. Enter Dotonbori, the old entertainment district of Osaka that's also ground zero for cheap and easy to find street food. John Daub and Kevin Riley, a long-term resident of Osaka take their stomachs down the Dotonbori strip. We also introduce a very Osakan word: "Kuidaore" meaning eat until you drop! Street food on Dotonbori: ★ Takoyaki Called "octopus ball" by newbies to Japan, these round treats normally come topped with a tangy thick soy sauce, Japanese mayonaise, and dried fish and seaweed. Some shops go even further adding half boiled eggs or mountains of green negi! A bowl of 6 to 8 balls costs 380 to 450 Yen. Recommended shop: Creo-Ru Takoyaki ★ Kushikatsu Another Osaka specialty you can find at a few stands. It's skewered and battered meats and vegetables deep fried until golden. pTake each skewer and dip it once in the special bath bin near the table or register. You won't be disappointed! Vegetables start at 60 yen and meats at 150 yen. Large Tiger Shrimps can go for 380 yen for one! Prices are listed on the menu outside the shop. ★ Gyoza Osaka has it's own variety of dumplings. What's different? It's cheaper and made in Osaka! 180 yen for 6 gyoza! ★ Ramen A few shops serve up hot bowls on the street side. Get a ticket at the vending machine for about 600 yen and enjoy! Recommended shop: Kinryu Ramen (The one with the Dragon!) ★ Crab legs Who would have thought crab was big in Osaka, but one of the most dominant restaurants serve them char-grilled right at the front of the street. The also have kani miso or "crab brains" served in a half shell. 500 yen for that. Yum. Recommended shop: Kani Doraku ★ More!!! The more you walk around, the more Dotonbori will surprise you. Special thanks to Kevin Riley and the managers of the restaurants along Dotonbori. This show has been created and produced by John Daub ジョン・ドーブ. He's been living and working in Japan for over 16 years and regularly reports on a TV show for Japan's International Channel.

how long did it take you to learn Japanese?
-
I went to Japan seveal times..
The problem is..
Most food, if not 99.99% of it, is either made with pig, pork, bacon, wine, alcohol, even the rice is cooked with sake..
And the noodles, udons, and soups are always made with swine stock.. even the vegetable ones
As a Muslim, I cannot eat ANY of that..
So I cannot enjoy Japanese street food like any average none-Muslim tourist.. we always have to eat in Halal certified restaurants.. :-(
Good video none-the-less. :^) -
2:15 Background music = Rurouni Kenshin intro music

But of course they'd serve Asahi Nama Biru in Dotonbori! It's brewed around the corner!
-
is Osaka best for shopping clothes or just food tasting?
-
As an Osakan, I was really surprised at how Dortonbori looks like now.
Recently, I went there for the first time in 2 or 3 years.
Lots of tourists and advtisement in foreign languges……I felt like I AM a foreigner. -
Is that song Interlude Complicado from the Mexican band Porter? Is like the same! (Intro)

I've been in Osaka and I tried the places in this video :) The gyoza place wasn't special, I also haven't seen the special Osaka gyoza on the menu.. If you are standing in front of this place, walk to the left to the very first restaurant in the street (You select your menu on a ticket machine), they have AMAZING gyoza. For ¥800 you get a bowl of rice with meat, miso soup, salad, raw egg and also gyoza, this gyoza is SO much better than the place in the video, and the rice with meat and stuff if fuckin delicious as well!! We ate here 3 times during our stay in Osaka, when we were in Kyoto I just wanted to take the shinkansen back to Osaka just for the food here (Kyoto is 1 big expensive tourist trap).
The place with the beer was nice as well however we ordered takoyaki instead, it's not bad but the takoyaki just across the bridge (Which can have a waiting line for +-30 minutes) is also sooooooooo delicious and the best I ate there. Osaka is indeed heaven for food and shops.
