Discover Osaka's hidden gems

#osakafoodguide Most of Osaka's hidden gems are hidden in small alleys, away from the mainstream tourist routes. Nakazaki-cho is a great place to find hidden gems, with many family-run izakayas and small restaurants serving authentic Kansai-style cuisine such as hand-made udon, long-established sushi restaurants and creative Japanese cuisine. The Tenma area is also well worth a visit, with its cozy yakitori restaurants and pubs offering affordable prices. Hidden-world cuisine often does not have fancy decorations, but its flavors are authentic and portion size is large, making it suitable for diners who like to deeply savor the local flavor.
