Byakuan - Great Sanuki Udon and Tempura just north of Osaka city centre!

One sentence: Great, thick, and chewy Sanuki Udon plus hot and crispy Tempura with generous portion and affordable price (in Osaka).

Ghar - Minimalistic presentation yet unique and flavourful curry

Another popular curry restaurant in Osaka, with a high tabelog score of 3.87 as of writing this post + 5x Hyakumeiten award from 2017 to 2022 (missing out in 2021). Dim restaurant ambience lighting with I believe Hinduism music playing in the background, setting yourself for the curry journey.

Tonkatsu Manger - Best tonkatsu we ever eaten!

The most popular Tonkatsu restaurant in Osaka, from what I read probably one of the top in Japan. With a Tabelog score of 4.19 from 1186 comments (as of Dec 2022), Tabelog Silver Award for 3 consecutive years (2020-2022), and Tabelog Bronze Award for 2017-2019, that has to mean something.

Ramen Jinsei JET - Decent ramen near Osaka station but a bit underwhelming for us

After a long day playing at USJ, we decided to have our dinner close to our hotel in Umeda. Checked our shortlist, and Ramen Jinsei JET fits the bill.

Watanabe Curry - Great Japanese curry with heavy (meat) hitters!

Watanabe Curry is one of the curry rice restaurants which we have in our shortlist for the 2019 Japan trip, but never got the time to try it back then. This time round we finally made it here, better late than never!

Komugi Umare Men Sodachi - Refreshing and unique in-house handmade noodles

This is one ramen restaurant that we went unplanned (and not even in my long list of food shortlist), but still got a pleasant surprise!

Copain Copine - Cosy cafe with nice pancakes in Ikeda

A cosy cafe tucked in the residential area of Ikeda city, and just a short 2 minutes walk from the Cup Noodles Museum Ikeda. (And yes, we did went to the Cup Noodles Museum prior to this.)
