#ATXFoodGuyAbroad – Osaka

Although Osaka is known for their nightlife my traveling buddies and I just made a day trip out of it from Kyoto. I definitely want to make an effort to go back to Osaka and explore a bit further but I think overall we had a pretty successful day. Here’s the food spots I got to check out in the short time I was there!

Kuromon Market Street Food

Welllllll, I tried something else that was a bit questionable on my first trip down to Osaka! This, my friends, is fugu which is also known as blowfish or globefish. My buddy @robpol86 wanted to try it because he's a huge Simpsons fan but didn't want to eat it all himself, just in case, so I stepped up for moral support and curiosity. This is the baked fugu and it was pretty damn delicious. It was very similar in texture to swordfish but maybe slightly more dense and I was pleasantly surprised by the overall flavor and mouth fill. When you get a chance to try something new, don't pass it up! . . . . . . . . . . #fugu #blowfish #globefish #osakaeats #osaka #osakajapan #osakafood #Japan #seafood #fish #dangerousfood #market #streetfood #bakedfish #atxfoodguy #atxfoodguyabroad #infatuationjapan #eeeeeats #delicious #deliciousfood #tastyfood #tasty #bakedseafood #eatitall #eatup

This may not be as weird of a post as the horse but I'll admit, I wasn't expecting an order of buttered toast to be so damn good but here we are. This is from a place called カフェデュプティ in the Shinsekai area of Osaka and luckily I let @robpol86 and @soniamtz_atx try a bite so they can back me up on this being the best toast ever. I shouldn't have been surprised because anything bread-like in Japan is phenomenal, such as cakes and sandwiches and such, but still. So once again I say, here we are.

Not a bad way to end a day, if you ask me. This is a few skewers I decided on at a yakitori restaurant on the 8th floor of the Osaka/Umeda Yodobashi Department Store. A couple chicken thigh, a chicken and leek, and a couple beef with a draft @sapporo in a frosty mug. No frills delicious food in a department store? Count me in! . . . . . . . . . . . . . #yakitori #skewers #beefskewers #chickenskewers #leeks #osaka #yodobashi #yodobashicamera #yodobashiumeda #foodcourt #meatskewers #osaka #osakajapan #osakafood #osakaeats #osakatravel #atxfoodguy #atxfoodguyabroad #willtravelforfood #travelingfoodie #travellingfoodblogger #foodblogging #travel #travelingfoodies
