Expert notes
- Okonomiyaki - Osaka street food with pork belly, scallions, poached egg, kewpie mayo, crunchy tempura & bonito flakes, and sweet soy is a must-try. There are also regular favorites such as biscuits and gravy, pancakes, hand-spun milkshakes, hashbrowns, and healthy sandwiches. If weather permits, sit on their couch-lined rooftop patio.
