Kobe beef Ramen
Osaka is not too far away from Kobe, the place where perhaps the world's most well renowned meat is bred. This means, of course, that there are plenty of restaurants in Osaka too, that specializes in this kind of amazingly tender meat. If you want to consume it with a twist, why not visit one of the shops specializing in Kobe Beef ramen?

Okonomiyaki
A kind of cabbage filled battered pancake and perhaps the most well known signature dish of them all from Osaka. Once you are in town we highly suggest that you try it out at least once. Comes with a variety of toppings including seafood, pork or with spicy kimchi.

Takoyaki
Takoyaki is a ball-shaped food that consists of diced octopus surrounded by batter, topped with dried bonito flakes, green onion, takoyaki sauce and mayonnaise. It’s one of the most well known street snacks in Osaka, and something you definitely should try while you’re in town. A word of warning though -- takoyaki is often served straight from the pan and the inside can be very hot, so be careful or you might burn your mouth.

Fried Momiji leaves
Fried Maple leaves, or momiji as this tree is called in Japanese, is of the most popular edible meibutsu from the Minoh-area in northern Osaka. We would consider these more of a quirky thing to try rather than a proper delicacy. Nevertheless, this crunchy sweetened snack goes well with a hot cup of coffee or tea, while the beautiful shape also makes it very instagram-friendly.
