"Tsuruhashi is Osaka’s Koreatown, which is filled with some of the best Korean food and shops in Japan. Walk around the fresh market area to sample kimchi and other Korean specialities, as well as buy food products. The newer outer market area is where you can do some shopping."

🐙 Sights & Street Food in Osaka, Japan

Osaka’s nickname, “Tenka no Daidokoro” (the nation’s kitchen), originally referred to its historical status as Japan’s rice-trade hub. Although no longer the hub for rice trade, Osaka is now known for being the food capital of Japan. Okonomiyaki, takoyaki, and kushikatsu are well-known Osaka dishes, but there are many more delicious foods to try while there. I personally love Osaka because the people are kind and outgoing, and the city itself has a lot to offer for visitors.
