A hidden gem for incredibly delicious Japanese kushikatsu in Dotonbori――Goukaku-ya

Though the storefront may be small, the offerings inside are surprisingly rich and diverse. It’s very easy to find, right across from Forever21. The whole shop has a classic Japanese-style vibe, with the menu written around the counter and plastered all over the walls—so many choices it’s almost too much to take in. Skip the thinking and ask the owner for a recommended set; he’s a super cute curly-haired uncle, and as long as you can read the Chinese on the menu, communication is a breeze. The prawns and scallops are even bigger than the mushrooms—huge and super fresh—making every bite absolutely satisfying. And despite being kushikatsu, they’re not greasy at all. Apparently, it’s very popular among local women too~

Limited-time offer: One skewer of fried ice cream (also a must-try item—absolutely amazing!)

Sample a variety of Osaka street snacks in one stop――Tako Hachi

This colorful takoyaki shop is sure to dazzle your eyes—but don’t worry, Tako Hachi, a 40-year-old establishment and a highly-rated merchant on Dianping, is definitely worth a visit. Notably, Japanese takoyaki tends to be soft and fluffy, but this place serves up exceptionally fresh and generously sized octopus. Start with a takeaway serving of takoyaki, then head upstairs to your seat, where you’ll also get special editions like cheese potato Osaka grill, giant shrimp and squid Dotonbori special Osaka grill, and even chewy, thick udon-style yakisoba. All the classic Osaka street snacks you want to try are easily available here—this place is super appealing and definitely worth a visit.
