With delicious dishes like Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, anago meshi, and the juiciest and plumpest oysters tempting you at every turn, it isn’t hard to see why Hiroshima is a favorite food destination for many Japanese.
I went on a food tour in Kyoto and according to my guide, when Japanese people travel for food, they usually go to one of three cities – Nagoya, Hiroshima, and Fukuoka. This was surprising to me because I had always assumed it would be Osaka or Tokyo, not a less visited city like Fukuoka.

I ate my way through Sapa, Hanoi, Hue, Hoi An, Saigon, and the Mekong Delta with the goal of writing a Vietnamese food guide that showcased the best and most interesting dishes this country had to offer. This list of 45 is what I’ve come up with.
Since 2014, we’ve been to Osaka a total of four times. Each visit gives us the opportunity to explore new restaurants and to continually update and refine this food guide. Our goal is to give you the best, most complete, and most diverse food experience in Osaka, and I believe we’ve done just that with the latest edition of this guide.
Kuromon Ichiba Market is a covered market in Osaka’s Chuo Ward, about a 3-minute walk from Nippombashi Station. It’s often referred to “Osaka’s kitchen” because it’s where many of the city’s chefs get their supplies.
Anyone who’s been to Taiwan can tell you that visiting a night market is quintessential to the Taiwan experience. It’s such an important part of the culture.
