COURSE MENUSushi mahoroba
A cozy sushi bar that opens until 3 am along Osaka’s neon-lit shopping arcade. Come here for a masterclass in nigiri and a thesis on how sushi can be the appropriate late-night grub.

COURSE MENUmahoroba Teppan Shinsaibashi
The hidden teppanyaki fine diner in Osaka doesn't just settle with live grill theatrics — spare-no-expense standard extends to its selection of premium wagyu beef, spiny lobster and abalone cooked over charcoal and iron plate.

Reserve Restaurants in Osaka
In the famous foodie capital of Japan, you will be able to find outstanding Osaka restaurants in every corner of the city. Osaka's excitable energy is fueled by its thriving food culture and restaurants in every district. The city center of Namba’s okonomiyaki restaurants sizzle away all day, filled with happy diners laughing out late into the night. Dotonbori bustles almost 24 hours a day, alive with its street food stalls (takoyaki octopus balls grilling away) while "tabehoudai" all-you-can-eat restaurants call out for diners to take on the challenge.
Feeling really adventurous? You can find fugu restaurants in Osaka serving up pufferfish. The Shinsekai district's neon lights highlight the golden crusts of deep-fried skewers at its local kushikatsu restaurants. If you want a break from morish Kansai cuisine, find fresh sushi sliced and served at sushi trains and specialty high-end sushi restaurants in Osaka — yes, even omakase. And, if you're hunting for premium beef, find a table at one of Osaka's best wagyu restaurants.
