A surprise trip to Kansai came up so suddenly, I forgot to look for tips on this forum. Now that I'm home, I remembered. Trip report photos and videos from my 4-day mission to eat my way through possibly the greatest foodie city in Japan:

Hey Mari! Long time no see. Lucky you to get a trip to Osaka!!
I've been telling everyone here on this forum about Osaka being Japan's kitchen for a while now. Not many here seem to like Osaka though....most here are endeared to Kyoto. Glad you had a good time. Was Mels with you?
