Going by the wise saying: “when in Rome, do as the Romans do”, there are some things not to be missed when one is in Osaka. One of which would be to eat Takoyaki! A Japanese snack made of wheat flour generally filled with diced octopus, pickled gingers, onions etc. and grilled to perfection in its special pan; the ball-shaped Takoyaki was first made popular in Osaka in the early 20th century.
To save the hassle of trying to find the best of Takoyaki in Osaka, head on down to the Takoyaki Museum at Universal City for five of Osaka's most famous takoyaki shops! The museum that resembles more of a theme food court also includes exhibitions that showcase the history of the ingredients and utensils used as well as souvenir shops with interesting products.
