Yakitori bar “Kushiyaki Yakiton-ya Tayutayu” specializes in pork off-cut skewers grilled over premium Kishu binchotan charcoal, featuring tea-fed “Chami-buta” pork. The venue also offers around 100 types of shōchū and local sake in a cozy retro atmosphere.
Takoyaki-Dōraku Wanaka prides itself on a special batter made from fine wheat flour, calibrated seasonings, and dashi stock for standout flavor. Their takoyaki’s crispy exterior and gooey center keep customers returning, and they also sell the popular “tako-sen” snack.
Hozenji Yokocho
Hōzen-ji is a peaceful Jōdo-shū Buddhist temple in Osaka’s Namba district, famous for its moss-covered Mizukake Fudō statue, where visitors pour water as part of their prayers. The surrounding stone-paved alley of Hōzenji Yokocho retains historic Osaka charm.
