What to eat cheaply and deliciously in Osaka.Osaka is very famous as a gourmet town in Japan but Osaka people are not only enjoying luxurious food. Most popular food of Osaka is Takoyaki(fried octpus ball),food stall of which you can see everywhere in Osaka and you have to try it once here.
If you are not gourmet and want to save money for food,then we recomend you Gyudon(a bowl of rice topped with beef). Gyudon is also very popular food for busy business men in order to save money and time,because it is very quickly served and it's price is enough cheap.
Popular fast food restaurant chain of Gyudon are Yoshinoya,Sukiya and Matsuya,one of them you can find easily in the downtown. Try to eat it once and give an order for Gyudon Nami(middle size of Gyudon),if you are very hungry and want to eat more then give an order for Gyudon Dai(big size) . Price of the middle size Gyudon is about \300.
Katsudon(pork cutlet bowl)My favorite food is Katsudon,which is also very popular food for Japanese. You should also try it while you are in Japan. Price of the ordinary Katsudon is about \500.
What to see as a tourist in Osaka.First of all you have to visit Osaka Castle which is the symbol of Osaka and located in the center of Osaka. Every 3rd Saturday of the month around 11:00AM you can see many armour clad Samurai at the castle, with whom you can get a picture taken. Shitennoji Temple is also an interesting place for tourists,where Antique Flea Market is held on 21st and 22nd every month. If you are serendipity ,then don't miss to visit it and you could surely find treasures at the cheap price from hundreds of stalls there.
