#cityplaybook #localguides #postandearn #familytrip Osaka wasn’t just a destination on my Japan itinerary—it became one of the most memorable highlights of my trip. Known as Japan’s kitchen, the city offers more than incredible food—it delivers a warm, energetic culture that makes you feel instantly welcome. I arrived in early November, which turned out to be the perfect time. The city was alive with color—autumn leaves glowing red and gold in parks like Osaka Castle Park and Minoo Park. The weather was crisp but comfortable, ideal for strolling the lively streets of Dotonbori, where neon lights bounce off the canal and the smell of takoyaki and okonomiyaki fills the air. I stayed near Namba, which gave me easy access to street food stalls, quirky shops, and the pulse of local life. What stood out to me most was Osaka’s attitude—it’s less formal than Tokyo, more playful. Locals are friendly, often cracking jokes, and the vibe is pure fun. The night I sat at a tiny counter bar with strangers who soon became friends over shared dishes and laughs? That was Osaka magic. Another highlight was visiting Osaka Castle—its white walls and green-tiled roofs rising dramatically amid autumn foliage. I spent hours wandering the grounds, learning about the history of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and watching locals picnic under the trees. Best Time to Visit: Late October to early December for fall colors and fewer crowds. March to April is also great for cherry blossoms. Bonus Tip: Get the Osaka Amazing Pass—it gives you free entry to major attractions and unlimited transport. Don’t leave without trying kushikatsu in Shinsekai, and if time allows, take a day trip to Nara or Kyoto, both under an hour away.

#eatlikealocal We recently visited a small, newly opened izakaya in Uzumasa Katsuragicho, Ukyo Ward, Kyoto, and it was such a gem! When we walked in, it was filled with locals, and even though they spoke a little English, the owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming. She helped us place our order, using a translator to communicate, making the experience feel even more personal. The food was amazing—be sure to try the rice with caviar and the spring rolls with eel and rice. It was the perfect spot to enjoy authentic Japanese dishes in a cozy, local setting.

This bowl of famous duck ramen was actually on my bucket list to visit last year! When I arrived at 3:30 in the afternoon, there was almost no queue. The waiter arranged the seats and I entered immediately. When I came out after eating, I found that there were more than ten people queuing at the door. It was just the perfect time. ✨ duck らーめん (current price ¥930) The main feature is whole-grain flour noodles, which are smooth and have a wheaty aroma. The chewy texture is just right and I personally love it! The soup is a salty and layered soy sauce base. It's a bit salty when you drink it alone but it's just right when you eat it with noodles. The duck meat is stewed soft and tender but the taste is light, which I think is a bit ordinary. 💡 Choose two out of three is the soul option! You can choose any two from large white onions, white-haired onions, or chrysanthemum petals. It is so friendly to people with decision-making difficulties! I chose big white onion + white hair onion that time. The big white onion was sweet and juicy, with a little roasted aroma, which was the highlight of this bowl. Next time I go, I will definitely order a portion of onion alone (the single order was ¥150 at the time). It is a must-order for onion lovers💚 — 📍 Store information (main store) 6-4-15 Ueno, Taito-ku, Tokyo 🚃 JR # Okachimachi Station 🕒 We are now open 24 hours a day, so it is more convenient to arrange off-peak hours if you want to avoid the crowds! After all, if you have to queue up, this one won’t be your first choice. 📈 The price has been adjusted at present (the actual price is subject to the on-site price), but it is still a bowl with good CP value! 📍 Latest branch information There are now two new branches in Tokyo and a sister store in Osaka, so travelers from Kansai can also enjoy it! — #TokyoRamenRecommended #DuckRamen #UenoFood #TokyoFreeTravel #TokyoQueueFood #OnionLoversMustEat #OkachimachiFood #JapaneseRamen #RamenRecommended #tokyoramen #tokyofoodie #japanfoodie #RamenLover is a good friend of mine #ramenlover — If you were asked to choose two out of three onions, how would you combine them?

#tripแจกโรงแรมฟรี Tsukiji – Walk around the fish market, delicious and fresh, satisfying every corner When it comes to Tokyo's famous fish markets, Tsukiji Fish Market is definitely on the list. Although the fish auction has moved to Toyosu, the restaurant zone and the outside market are still as lively as ever. For those who love to eat, I must say that you must not miss it. Take a leisurely stroll, there are plenty of foods, from sushi, fresh sashimi, grilled scallops with fragrant butter, sweet eggs on skewers, to many Japanese street foods. Every corner is delicious. If you come to visit, I recommend coming in the morning to experience the atmosphere of a real Japanese fish market. There aren't too many people. After eating, you can walk around and continue sightseeing in Tokyo comfortably. The feeling is the best. 📍 Tsukiji Fish Market, Tokyo Japan #TsukijiFishMarket #TokyoEats #TsukijiFishMarket #TokyoFoodie #JapanFoodie #EatTravelJapan #TsukijiStreetFood

#tripแจกโรงแรมฟรี Asakusa Slow Life – Walk and relax beside the temple, eat from morning to night Asakusa doesn't only have the atmosphere of the temple and shopping district during the day, but also has many chill spots to walk around in the evening and night. During the day, stop by a cafe, eat delicious snacks, and walk around Sensoji Temple in a chill way. Then, when evening falls, the lights around the temple turn on beautifully and are very romantic. Walk a little further and you'll find an izakaya with a nice atmosphere and delicious Japanese food. You can sit and sip something cool amidst the warm lights of this area. It feels like you're seeing two sides of Asakusa in one day: the tranquility during the day and the liveliness at night. If you're visiting Tokyo, you have to try this atmosphere. 📍 Asakusa Tokyo, Japan #Asakusa #TokyoEats #เที่ยวโตะ #อาหารโตะ #JapanFoodie #กินเที่ยวญี่ปุ่น #NightLifeTokyo #Asakusaที่Night

I totally recommend heading down to Narita Omotesando street in Chiba before departing Tokyo, Japan that’s just 1 stop from Narita Airport by train. You get to immerse yourself in the charming tradition and culture as you walk down the hilly road leading to the famous Naritasan temple. Apparently this street is famous for unagi (freshwater eel) as there’s plenty of shops selling grilled unagi but this particular store has the longest queue and largest crowd. You can witness the live eel skilfully slaughtered on one side, grilled with the special kabayaki sauce on the other side of the store. There’s dine in and takeaway options. Price starts from ¥2900 for a standard unagi rice box. #happylizzieeats #happylizzieexplores #japanhotels #japantravel #visitjapan #explorejapan #exploretokyo #japanfood #japanfoodie #tokyofood #tokyofoodie #japanesefood#foodstagram #foodblogger #malaysianfoodie #malaysiablogger #lifestyleblogger #travelblogger

Have you tried ANAGO? Not to be mistaken for its popular cousin UNAGI, which is a freshwater eel, Anago is a Japanese Sea conger eel that’s firmer, lower in fat and calories but nonetheless tasty 😋 ANAGO TAMAI is an anago speciality restaurant in Tokyo serving all things Anago in various styles including a flaming Anago sake too! 🤩 Definitely order their signature hakomeshi, available in 3 sizes. I recommend the medium box, which allows you to savour a mix of simmered and grilled anago. 💯 Enjoy it 3 ways. 1️⃣ Partition the box into 3 to first taste the original soft, fluffiness of the simmered anago and smoky, savoury grilled anago 2️⃣ Garnish the second middle portion with green onion, yuzu, sesame, wasabi and Japanese pepper for different flavours. 3️⃣ Finish it ochazuke style by pouring in the dashi soup (+ 200 Yen)made from grilled anago bones I also tried the unseasoned grilled anago shirayaki, where you can taste the deliicous natural flavour of the sea eel 😍 Order the anago tamogoyaki wrapped in soft, saovurfy, fluffy omelette and super long, slender Anago Nigiri Sushi cut in half and glazed in their special sweet, savoury sauce 🤤 Anago tamai has 6 stores all over Tokyo and I recommend you check them out. . . . #anagotamai #anago #exploretokyo #visitjapan #explorejapan #japanfood #japanfoodie #tokyofood #tokyofoodie #japanesefood #foodgasm #foodgraphy #foodstagram #foodblogger #malaysiablogger #lifestyleblogger #travelblogger #happylizzieeats #happylizzieexplores #happylizzieexplorestokyo

Finally, it’s my turn to Chao Sheng 🙌🏻 I highly recommend everyone to make reservations on Google first to avoid queuing in a long line! We made a reservation for 6pm that day, but the whole restaurant was already full, it was incredible! The store clerks all understand English, so you don't have to worry about placing orders. #shirley takes you to Japan 🐮Thick-cut grilled beef tongue set meal The beef tongue is about the width of two fingers put together, and there are 6 pieces in total. The beef tongue tastes super refreshing, is easy to cut, and is full of gravy when you bite it. Remember to dip it in mashed yam for a better taste, and you can have as much rice as you want in the restaurant! The set meal also comes with curry sauce for rice, salad and beef soup. Every side dish is accompanied by beef tongue, which is very sincere! I also ordered a glass of lemon sour to help relieve the greasiness. I highly recommend this delicacy to everyone who visits Tokyo! 📍Beef Tongue Lemon Address: 7-16-12 Nishi-Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo #hkfoodie #hkfoodies #hkfoodblogger #hkfoodblog #hkfoodlover #hkfoodshare #japanfood #japanfoodie #hkyoutuber #hkyoutube #hkgirl #tokyofood #hktravel #foodiehk #foodlover #TokyoFood #JapaneseFood #FoodRecommendations #FoodDiary #JapaneseCooking #BeefTongue #Shinjuku #BeefTongueLemon #HongKongFood #FoodReview #GoodFood #JapaneseTravel #TokyoTravel #GoodFood

.*/Pork Loin Set $370 I really love the skin of the pork chop. It's so crispy (⸝⸝⸝ᵒ̴̶̷̥́⌑ᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀⸝⸝⸝) There is a crunching sound when eating.ᐟ .ᐟ The meat is very thick, about 5 cm thick, and very juicy. The side dishes include rice, shredded cabbage, and miso soup, all of which are refillable. I'd be so full if I didn't die. - .*/Salt koji chicken cutlet curry rice $350 The chicken steak itself has a very light taste. It has no taste when eaten alone. This is the time for curry to show its true colors. Their curry is so rich and fragrant that it really made me eat a lot of extra rice. $10 more than the regular chicken rice and you can get more curry. Super worth itᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ If you like curry, I recommend you try it. - 👩🏻‍🍳Store name: MAiSEN Pork Chop Xinyi Shin Kong A9 👩🏻‍🍳Address: 6F, No. 9, Songshou Road, Xinyi District, Taipei City 110 👩🏻‍🍳Tel: 02 2722 2138 👩🏻‍🍳Business hours: Sunday-Thursday 11:00～21:30 Friday-Saturday 11:00-22:00 - #EatEatHungryGod#HungryGodEatsTaipei #maisen#maisenmaiquan pork chop#maisenmaiquan pork chopxinyishinguanga9#maiquan pork chop#maiquan#maiquan pork chopとんかつまい泉#maiquanmaisen#pork chop#xinyi district food#shinguang mitsukoshi#shinguang mitsukoshia9#taipei#taipei food#japan#japanese cuisine#food#japanese food#japan#taipei#taiwan#japanfood#porksteak#japanfoodie#foodie#taipeifoodie#popyummy#popdaily
