Yamachan
Yamachan is one of the most popular takoyaki restaurants in Osaka, where the dish originated. What makes Yamachan’s takoyaki distinctive is the taste of the dough, which blends original chicken soup stock cooked with various fruits and vegetables, and Japanese style soup of kelp and bonito. Cooked on its special takoyaki pan at a very high temperature, the outside of the takoyaki ball is crisp but the inside remains nice and creamy. Although it is tasty without any sauce, you can also try it with their special soy sauce and ponzu.

In the 70s, all the warehouses in this area were transformed to sell clothes, books, records and many secondhand items brought over from the West Coast in the States. The media picked up on the uniqueness of the area and thus Amerikamura (Amemura), meaning American Village, was born. In the daytime, Amemura is a fun place to shop around and by night, it’s full of people frequenting the many bars and nightclubs.

Step back in history to the Edo period by visiting this historical alley, which is filled with restaurants serving Japanese fare, and izakayas (traditional Japanese taverns). Also in Hozenji Yokocho is the statue of the spirit Fudomyoo, its moss-covered appearance is the result of visitors pouring water over it as a cleansing act.
