Known throughout Japan as the go-to destination for food, Osaka has a world-class restaurant industry, delivering customers an incredible range of delicious local delicacies. Alongside the booming restaurant business is a staggering number of bars, pubs and izakaya (Japanese-style bars), with a countless number of different kinds of alcoholic beverages for visitors to enjoy.
00:00 Intro
00:40 Dōtonbori
One of Osaka’s most popular tourist destinations, this street runs parallel to the Dotonbori canal. It is a popular shopping and entertainment district and also known as a food destination. At night it is lit by hundreds of neon lights and mechanized signs, including the famous Glico Running Man and Kani Doraku crab.
A restaurant and bar district situated alongside the Dotonbori River, this spot is a must-see when checking out the Osaka nightlife. Simply walk along the strip, grab some takoyaki (grilled octopus balls) along with a beer and enjoy the crazy lights and signs that adorn the shops.
04:22 Shinsekai
Shinsekai (新世界, lit. “New World”) is a district in Osaka that was developed before the war and then neglected in the decades afterwards. At the district’s center stands Tsutenkaku Tower, the nostalgia-evoking symbol of Shinsekai.
One noted attraction is kushikatsu, one of Osaka’s best known specialties. It is a dish, composed of various skewered, battered and deep fried foods. Varieties on offer range from chicken and beef, to pumpkin and asparagus, to the banana and ice cream dessert varieties. Many of Shinsekai’s kushikatsu restaurants are open 24 hours, but only truly come alive when the lights come on at night.
Today, Shinsekai has a reputation as one of Japan’s more seedy and dangerous neighborhoods, a fact that is more reflective of the country’s high standard of safety than anything else. Nevertheless, there is a sizeable homeless population around Shinsekai, and the neighborhood south of the JR railway tracks is one of the few areas in Japan where open prostitution occurs without much police interference.
