Osaka Street Food Guide: Dotonbori 大阪道頓堀食い倒れ挑戦
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 พ.ย. 2014
- Osaka is known as Japan's kitchen and for good reason! It's loaded with some of the best and cheapest restaurants and street stands anywhere.
Enter Dotonbori, the old entertainment district of Osaka that's also ground zero for cheap and easy to find street food. John Daub and Kevin Riley, a long-term resident of Osaka take their stomachs down the Dotonbori strip. We also introduce a very Osakan word: "Kuidaore" meaning eat until you drop!
Street food on Dotonbori:
★ Takoyaki
Called "octopus ball" by newbies to Japan, these round treats normally come topped with a tangy thick soy sauce, Japanese mayonaise, and dried fish and seaweed. Some shops go even further adding half boiled eggs or mountains of green negi!
A bowl of 6 to 8 balls costs 380 to 450 Yen.
Recommended shop: Creo-Ru Takoyaki
★ Kushikatsu
Another Osaka specialty you can find at a few stands. It's skewered and battered meats and vegetables deep fried until golden. pTake each skewer and dip it once in the special bath bin near the table or register. You won't be disappointed! Vegetables start at 60 yen and meats at 150 yen. Large Tiger Shrimps can go for 380 yen for one! Prices are listed on the menu outside the shop.
★ Gyoza
Osaka has it's own variety of dumplings. What's different? It's cheaper and made in Osaka! 180 yen for 6 gyoza!
★ Ramen
A few shops serve up hot bowls on the street side. Get a ticket at the vending machine for about 600 yen and enjoy!
Recommended shop: Kinryu Ramen (The one with the Dragon!)
★ Crab legs
Who would have thought crab was big in Osaka, but one of the most dominant restaurants serve them char-grilled right at the front of the street. The also have kani miso or "crab brains" served in a half shell. 500 yen for that. Yum.
Recommended shop: Kani Doraku
★ More!!!
The more you walk around, the more Dotonbori will surprise you.

When he ate that takoyaki in one whole bite I knew he was about to feel the BURN
Dotonbori in Osaka is an amazing place to get street food, cheap and easy. In my latest episode, Kevin Riley and I tried takoyaki, ramen, kushikatsu, gyoza, crab and crab brains ... and there's so much more to try! I wrote down prices for each item in the video. I hope it's useful! -John >> th-cam.com/video/F9To5UjWhUA/w-d-xo.html

John, I WANT YOU TO HAVE A TV SHOW!!! Seriously, you are the best :)
How bad was the crab brains revenge? An hour or more in the bathroom?
tormentedzombieowl hehehe~ I don't want to give out the details, but it didn't help my plumbing, if you know what I mean :P and anyway, Japan has the best toilets in the world! onlyinjapan.tv/the-amazing-japanese-toilet/ That "kanimiso" may kick some people in the stomach and others may just love it. Be warned -- then try anyway! At its worst, it'll clean you out so you can eat more of the other good stuff. -John
Japan has always been my dream to go there since I was a young child. Thanks to anime and TH-cam I've learned so much to help me on my visit to Japan. I'm thinking about studying abroad in college this year. It would be great to go to otaku clubs and eat ramen all day! Thank you!
Jennifer Banegas There is so much more to japan than anime and ramen. Ramen is just a very small part of the cuisine and the flavors are different from place to place. My favourite thing in japan other than sushi is okonomiyaki for example.
Btw, otaku isnt something that is considered good in japan. It can even be used as a form of humiliation depending on whom you speak to as they are considered unable to take care of them self's in a country where self-reliance and hard work is such an important thing. But of course there are amazing anime stores and wonderful places to visit if you love that kind of thing, but otaku isnt a word you want to use in every occasion.
IF you ever go, go to akihabara and try out their manga and anime district! Or Harajuku for some awesome clothing and cool teen-rebellion stuff!
And learn some japanese before you go, they are generally quite bad when it comes to speaking english and spoken japanese is extremely helpful. Not only is it good to know, having a good pronunciation is considered polite and might even make it easier for you to get friends or more help if you ever need it :D
It reminds me of Kiryu and Haruka visiting various shops and having their fill.

bakerXderek cheeaah,

Japan is awsome
Chris Engborg Yes, IT IS!!! -John
9 years ago I saw this video and it inspired me to go to osaka. Today I went to this exact spot, the same guy works there and I showed him your video and took a picture with him. Really fun
This video is like a nice textbook to eat something in Osaka.
Love this video from Osaka, Japan.
How wonderful! This brought back so many memories from my trip 5 years ago. I was in Kyoto, and there was a stand selling Wasabi and egg takoyaki, it was the most pungent and ridiculously spicy takoyaki I had eaten in all of Japan, but the people there just ate it like nothing.
I love your videos! makes me feel like I'm travelling around Japan!
Your videos always make me hungry but I love them. Keep them coming.
Love this channel... very useful info for Japan visitors...
I hope most of these stores survive the pandemic. Everything looks delicious.
Japan + Food? I think I found my new favorite channel!
I love your channel.... really high quality...
I've watched this video several times and I still enjoy watching it.
John, you have this excitement and wonder reminiscent of a child. So starry eyed and full of glee. I envy you my friend
I think your videos are really great ! Very nice rythm , narration , visual , etc ... it,s pro stuff ! I'm not a big fan of otaku culture ( was once, when i was much younger ) but I am a lover of Japanese food and this episode was a delight to me :D ! Can't wait to go back sometime ... おつかれ
これはめちゃくちゃいいビデオですね！どれも美味しそうでした！
your videos are just amazing, I mean I do watch a lot of vlogs, and other videos but yours are truly amazing.
I had the pleasure of meeting this town with my son. It is a fascinating place that mixes the ancient Japanese culture with contemporary modernity, moreover, has a magnificent culinary. I recommend!
たこ焼 好きです！！
Man, I'm really loving your content! Awesome channel!
GREAT VIDEO....... You have so many great videos.... I'm not sure where I'll start when I get to Japan!!!!!
I'm going Japan in 26 days! So excited OuO
Yes! Thank you for the vid!
i really loved your videos man...keep it up! and God Bless!
OMG waited so long for a video! Amazing as always! :)
Those dumplings looks amazing
It's been 4 months since we visited Japan and I miss the food terribly. We can get some of it here, but it just isn't as good as the genuine stuff. Will definitely return one day to eat from north to south.
jjaus I think just EATING is one of the biggest reasons people come and COME BACK!! I would miss it so much if I ever left ... and when I leave for vacation, nothing beats that first bowl of ramen or plate of sushi :) paradise! -John
Great video! I love seeing well made videos like this.
GamingLover Stay tuned for more videos from John! ;) -WAORYU staff
really love your videos japan
straight to my heart,,, yummyy!!!!! that food is so good!
It is my dream to walk among the beautiful streets of Osaka. To live there and experience the greatly rich foods and culture would be a dream come true! It is videos like this that only further motivate me to make such a jump. Thanks, gentlemen!
have you yet
I just found your videos, and I love them!
gkygrl7 Awesome! I'm really happy to hear that :) glad you found it and always appreciate the comments! -John

Cariños desde sudamerica, Chile
I am always fascinated and curious of Japan and its culture by watching anime and reading mangas. I would love to visit it someday. 😊
Thanks for your video uploads!
I recognize that bgm from that osaka gyoza store... Samurai X's OST... what a nostalgic~ and the foods... delish!
"kuidaore" actually means "eat until you go bankrupt"
"kuidaore", "kidaore" = "buy clothes until you go bankrupt", and "nedaore" = "build house until you go bankrupt". These three constitute one set. Many Japanese are also misunderstanding it, tho.
+ehoba Thank you for the note! Appreciate it! -john
learned new things today. thanks!!

Just had a great time in Osaka too! Definitely felt overwhelmed by all the food choices
just came back from a few days in Japan, Dotonbori was one of my favorite places of all time! what food!!!
Who noticed the Rurouni Kenshin song playing in the background? xD
I DO I DO
im not alone xD
😭👍👍👍😆😂😂 that comment I was hoping to see!!!
+DollFishu Recognize it instantly. Himura Kenshin, the legendary Hitokiri Battosai.
+DollFishu Sobakasu by Judy & Mary!!!
Rurouni Kenshin OP music hahaha. Been yearssss since I have watched that anime.
Hi john...i can't wait anymore! I will be in Osaka in 4 days!
nice john, real good food you got
Lmao. "It's smoking hot.", *puts whole takoyaki in mouth immediately.* suffers from burns 😅😅😅😅
Who'd have thunk that THAT could happen?!?
ONLY in JAPAN I would a brought a fire extinguisher, because better safe than sorry.
Hahaha that was happened to me my mouth burns need to drink water too
CHUCKIE'S BRIDE people hope it doesnt injure them and they can enjoy the food a few minutes earlier. most dont have a favorable outcome
😍
Been watching your channel for a long time. I just hope you make it a little longer :D
Like say at least 15 to 20 mins.
+comsci2491 yes 20 mins, i will spend all my life watching these videos.
one of the best time lapses ever...
i love so much how hyped up he gets :D so great
Only on Japan is my favorite Japanese food channel
They played rurouni kenshin's soundtrack in the background on gyoza scene XD
+Juanda Putra 2:44 YEAH! Awsome!! XDD
Hell yeah! x3
Glad that I wasn't the only one that noticed that lol
HELL YEAH
I recognized that song immediately from DDR back in the days! (Barely saw the anime, sorry XD)
I love this channel
So interesting! I love all your videos! :)
While Kevin Riley was eating the Osaka Gyoza, I noticed the background music was from the first season of an anime called Runouni Kenshin (Samurai X) one of my favorite anime :)
exactly what i thought , nice ears buddy .. nice ears,,,
My local! I like てっちり(Tecchiri, pufferfish hotpot). The bony parts is yummy!
Great video. Great place. Looks like takoyaki for lunch today!
man i love watching these videos it is so amazing
great videos! seen you on Journeys in Japan also! could you recommend the best area to stay in Osaka? convenient, easy walking to shops and great eats.
2:44 Fun fact: the song playing in the background was used in the opening to Ruroni Kenshin anime (Japanese) TV show back in the day.
Food food in Japan love it and at night them Osaka lights are very nice too ; ) thanks John !!!!!!!!
I always appreciate your comments, astroboy3507 Osaka was amazing and I want to make more programs about Kansai in the future. Japan is a lot bigger than people think.
-john
Hi John, I truly enjoy your videos about Japan, it's food and culture. Really wonderful :)
Thanks Starina I really appreciate you taking the time to comment and it's great encouragement to keep making the show ... bigger and better! -John
ahhhh i love takoyaki! yes always wait if they are fresh out the kitchen lol cmon john you just wanted to goof for the camera
i hear rurouni kenshin theme song at 2:18 in the background. my day is made!

Thanks for great video :) In couple days going to Osaka to see cherry blossom and will come every day to this street to eat :)
2:43 Sobakasu
2:12 is Reruni Kinshin's opening theam!!!!!!!! :)I literally paused the video!
画面が綺麗！！
Going there soon! Just want to see what to expect. Seems good 😍😍
Sobakasu in the background haha
7:46
Kevin said "あかん"(akan)
which means "Don't do it!" in Japanese.
His pronunciation is very good.
Actually in Kansai (Osaka) dialect
Another great video keep up the good work
rocker1821 THANK YOU VERY MUCH! -John
I visited Osaka 5 years ago and Dotonbori was my fave place. Ate at a bunch of places including Kani Doraku where I had my first REAL crab sushi. Totally amazing!
2:05 do I hear rurouni kenshin's opening?
lol don't feel bad, I was watching this with my wife and screamed for her to rewind that so I could listen. I instantly knew where it was from! I love that song!
i hear Sobakasu from Rurouni Kenshin... :)
One of the greatest food cities I have ever visited...
Love dottonburi and love your videos nice work! !
Thank you leigh flounders very much appreciate your kind words! Keep me going :) -John
Mate our whole family sits down to watch them love every moment!
That guy has lived there for 18 years and still has the heaviest American accent.
Everyone doesn't pick up accents quickly or even at all. Some people can live someplace for many years and never pick up an accent.
I believe in a later episode, he said he was from Canada. Also to add to why his accent hasn't changed, he is living in a country where not many people speak English. I'm sure when he speaks Japanese he has a Japanese accent however because not may people in Japan can speak English he most likely doesn't hear the mixed accent of Japanese-English that often. If he had lived in the southern part of the US, England or Quebec Canada, his accent most likely would have changed.
Why would I want to get rid of my accent?
ONLY in JAPAN i know right? He sounds smooth as hell.
ONLY in JAPAN Because it's cringy.
Hi john i love all your videos coz i like japan so much but haven't been there but still i feel like i'm in japan when i watch your videos. but japan is so expensive, you said dotonbouri is famous for cheap food but i find it so expensive as tiny single piece of shrimp, and those crab legs cost so much of yen. i wonder how much do the food costs at the top restaurants in japan. lol!!
+Peace Zone Thanks for watching and happy to hear that you love the show!
Japan is the home to the most Michelin Star restaurants in the world! You are getting good food here. It is much cheaper than a restaurant. In general, cheap is one coin, 500 yen -- for a meal. The kushikatsu was a little pricey, I thought.
You can save money by eating from grocery stores and convenient stores but -- why travel all the way here and not EAT well!! That's one of the top reasons to come to Japan -- EAT \(^_^)/ where did you visit in Japan?
By the way, I sometimes write for tokyocheapo.com which is a great budget site for visitors! Highly recommend. -john
+ONLY in JAPAN I haven't been to Japan yet. I just feel like it's expensive there by looking all the videos. someday I'll come to Japan coz I have always loved Japan so much... thank you for replying!!
+Peace Zone The food in the video is all cheap! 6 dumplings for 200 yen, that's only about $1.80. In general 100yen = $1 but it's actually a bit less (actually it's about 100yen = $.88)

I really like this channel, only place on youtube that seems to be idiot free! Keep up the great work
Thank you Stans Annonymous we've got amazingly fantastic viewers here, and I'm always so encouraged by the feedback to keep making more! Appreciate the support and feedback very much! -John
Eaten from everyone of these places when I went to Japan in feb 2018 honestly Dotonbori is AMAZING would 100% recommend
Samurai X opening song! 2:02
Sobakasu
Hamzah Syahputra Yaaay.
Thank you so much. I was wondering where and which anime series I heard this from.
+liizzset I know!!!!!!!!! omg thank you so much Hamzah! I was so convinced that I had heard it before.
+Hamzah Syahputra thank you. familiar with the song but forgot the title.
I always thought those flakes on the takoyaki was alive
Dem tricky steams aye
I came here two years ago and absolutely loved it and it’s food
Maybe I am among the longest viewer of this video but not too late to leave a comment. It was nice video and I enjoyed it :D
Samurai X opening song!!
2:17 SAmurai X Intro Theme
You know it!! Awesome!! -John
KENSHIN~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Thank you I was trying to remember where that was from
Like for Sobakasu : D
Omar García Soooo amazing!!!
Love your videos!
I like that you displayed prices.
I've been to Osaka's Dotonbori 2 years ago. It's so nice ! a lot of street food, and just as you said, don't wear thigh pants. This brings back the memories, I will visit Osaka again next time I go to Japan.
The most obvious difference is that it's made in Osaka. Of course that makes it better. LOL
too much good stuff there in Japan. One day I was eating too much and next day I was vomiting >.
What goes down must come up ... or something like that. lol I know how you feel though. In Japan, it's so easy to eat (and drink) way too much and feel the wrath the next morning! Maybe we have to pace ourselves better :P -John
love the vids greetings from holland
This is a great show!
18 years in Osaka and still speaking Japanese with a heavy American accent ^(>.
Osaka is no.1 city in japan！
no.2 is kyoto
worst is Tokyo
omae wa chotto atama ni hen desu. Tokyo wa saikou
日本語翻訳まで入ってて見やすいなーこういう動画が日本に来られる外国人旅行者増加に繋がってるんだろうな。
Thanks guys
Foods look pretty good
