My favorite restaurant of 2026 so far, a 10-seat, reservation-only breakfast spot in Kyoto!! Koshihikari rice cooked in a clay pot, all-you-can-eat obanzai that changes daily, dashi from a chef who ran a soba restaurant for 39 years, and a pork miso soup I’d go back for alone. ¥3,000 for everything. Place: @okudosan.uzumasa Access: 2 min from Uzumasa-Koryuji Sta. (Randen Line) Time: 8:00 / 9:30 / 11:00 / 12:30 Price: Only ¥3,000 Closed: Sun, Mon, Tue Note: Reservation required

A sushi izakaya that’s popular with the locals. A local favorite tucked inside the Ohatsu Tenjin shopping arcade in Umeda Sushi, sashimi, and seafood dishes, all at really good value. The salmon tartare tempura is my personal pick, and honestly every piece of sushi was great too. If you want to eat somewhere low-key and blend in with the locals, this is the one. 📍 @rerere.sannomiya_ Sushi Sakaba Uosanji (Umeda, Ohatsu Tenjin arcade) 3 min from Higashi-Umeda Sta. / 6 min from Kitashinchi Sta.

Experience a modern Kyoto izakaya just 5 minutes from Kawaramachi. Their signature muni egg hides a runny yolk inside, the meat temari sushi looks almost too good to eat, and the rare salmon katsu is a must-try, alongside fresh sashimi and creative Japanese small plates. They also offer all-you-can-drink course menus, perfect for a filling night out with friends. With a spacious, stylish interior and private rooms available, it’s an ideal spot for date nights, girls’ nights, group dinners, or celebrations. There are three locations in Kyoto, so check them out! 📍 @kiyamachi.muni Access: 5 min from Kawaramachi Sta. / Sanjo Sta. (Ajibiru Bldg. 5F) Time: Mon-Fri 17:00-23:00 / Sat, Sun & holidays 12:00-23:00 Price: Around ¥2,000-3,000 per person Note: English menu available

A calm, wa-modern spot in Nihonbashi that does one thing seriously well: premium wagyu hotpot. They use Kobe beef and select kuroge wagyu, and you get your own pot, so you cook each slice exactly how you like it. Sukiyaki with a rich egg dip or shabu-shabu with ponzu and sesame, both hit. It’s the kind of quiet, special meal that works for a date or a solo treat. English, Chinese and Korean menus with multilingual staff, so it’s an easy one even on your first trip to Osaka. Place: Sukiyaki Shabu-shabu Tsuruya, Nihonbashi Access: 3 min from Kintetsu-Nihonbashi Sta. (steps from Kuromon Market)

A retro izakaya tucked away in Ura-Namba Grab some kushikatsu, a sashimi boat, and the toro-taku roll too. Around ¥3,000 a head, retro vibes, open late. Proper Osaka #namba #osaka #japan #izakaya

Heyyyy

POV: you found the giant sandwich in Japan 🥪 The new location of one of Osaka's most popular sandwich shops just opened, and it's near Dotonbori. Their three signatures are the thickest katsu sando, a thickest A5 wagyu sukiyaki sando, and a ridiculously fluffy thickest egg sando. Everything is fried and made fresh to order, so the katsu is still crackling when it hits the box. Place: Japan's Thickest Sandwich (near Dotonbori) Access: walking distance from Dotonbori, Namba & Kuromon Market #Japan #osaka #namba

POV: dinner in a local neighborhood in Osaka 🍢 A retro izakaya in Kyobashi where drinks start at ¥99 and the skewers are just as cheap. The all-you-can-eat-and-drink courses start at ¥2,500, which is honestly kind of broken. Loud, cheap, and a good time. Exactly what a Kyobashi night should be. 📍 @ichibante_kyobashi Access: 4 min from JR Kyobashi Sta. (it's on the 2F) Hours: Mon–Thu, Sun & Public Holidays: 5:00 PM – 11:00 PM (Last Order: 10:30 PM) Fri, Sat & Days Before Public Holidays: 5:00 PM – 11:30 PM Budget: around ¥3,000 per person

Hello from Osaka

in Osaka!!!! #food #japantrip

POV: the yakiniku spot the locals don't want you to find. This one's a real gem. The beef quality is top-tier, but somehow the prices stay super reasonable that combo alone makes it one of my favorites in Osaka. And the seasoning? Absolutely dialed in. If you order ONE thing, make it the tail. Seriously, don't skip it! 📍 @hashibakeharami.tenma Hashibake Harami, Tenma 4 min from JR Tenma Station, Osaka #japantrip #osaka #tenma

I found one of the most unique Wagyu ramen experiences in Osaka. 🍜🥩 Located near Dotonbori and Kuromon Market, CHIYOMATSU'S OSAKA WAGYU RAMEN serves premium Japanese Wagyu with a rich, flavorful dashi broth. Watching your bowl come together right in front of you makes it feel like a true Wagyu & Dashi Theater experience. If you're looking for an unforgettable Wagyu ramen experience in Osaka, this is one spot you shouldn't miss. 📍 @chiyomatsu_wagyu_ramen #osaka #ramen #wagyu #dotonbori #kuromonmarket #japantravel

in Osaka 🇯🇵

Found a great dinner spot in Osaka 🍣 They have a new weekday early dinner course Available for starts between 4:30 PM and 6:00 PM

All-you-can-eat wagyu is the best!

About 10 minutes by train from Namba. It’s a local area with nice, clean hotels, and the prices are cheaper than in Namba. It’s also close to Kansai International Airport, so this could be a great area to stay when you travel.

Found an all-you-can-eat crab and wagyu spot in Osaka 🦀🥩 Getting to switch between crab and wagyu was the best part. The crab was thick and flavorful, and the sukiyaki broth made the wagyu even better. Such a fun dinner spot near Dotonbori if you’re craving lots of crab.

A popular sushi spot inside the outlet mall with around 250 stores, located near Kansai International Airport.

A couple of great spots in Kyoto where you can take a slow, relaxing break. Both are in the central area, so they’re easy to get to. Matcha 🍵
