Osaka's Shinsaibashi | Ultimate Foodie Map Revealed

When visiting Osaka, Shinsaibashi is a must-visit destination for food lovers! Start your morning at Hoshino Coffee☕. Grab a seat by the window and order a soufflé pancake paired with an Americano. The soft, sweet pancake combined with rich coffee and the unique view of Shinsaibashi outside the window is the perfect way to kickstart your day. For a quick snack, head to Ganso Kushikatsu, a former internet-famous spot that no longer requires waiting in line. Grab a few skewers to munch on while strolling around—it's super satisfying. Ramen enthusiasts shouldn't miss Mugen Ramen. The first few bites are bursting with flavor, though it gets a bit salty later on, offering a unique taste experience. Ippudo Ramen is also here; while it's not as popular, the flavor still holds up. Coffee lovers, take note! Asia's TOP2 coffee shop, Mel, starts drawing lines as early as 10 AM. Their Kenyan washed beans deliver a slightly acidic taste that's worth trying. If you pass by an unnamed coffee shop, their canelé might surprise you with its deliciousness, and the coffee beans are wonderfully aromatic. For barbecue cravings, visit Shinsaibashi Yakiniku Theater. Ordering in Chinese is super convenient, and the charcoal-grilled meat paired with bean sprouts is simply divine! As night falls, Shinsaibashi's evening scenery becomes breathtaking, reportedly lasting until Christmas. When in Osaka, follow this guide to eat, drink, and shop your way through Shinsaibashi!
