But this city of almost three million has its own spirited character that provides rich dividends for the traveller who takes the time to discover it. Nicknamed the &ldquo;nation&rsquo;s kitchen&rdquo; during the Edo period as it was the centre of the rice trade, Osaka&rsquo;s culinary landscape is so rich that its citizens have coined the expression kuidaore: to eat oneself bankrupt. It&rsquo;s no surprise then that the city is home to 137 Michelin-star restaurants, offering everything from exquisite kaiseki (traditional Japanese multi-course meal) to divine yakitori (grilled meats and vegetables on skewers). But as locals will tell you, some of the best food experiences can be found at food stalls and family-owned diners, which serve up hearty, Osakan favourites like kushikatsu (deep-fried meat skewers). And just like its no-frills food, Osaka&rsquo;s citizens are refreshingly down-to-earth and colourful. So whether you&rsquo;re enjoying one of the city&rsquo;s many festivals, museums or pretty parks &ndash; or simply asking for directions &ndash; chances are you&rsquo;ll be doing it while sharing a laugh with one of Osaka&rsquo;s friendly locals.</cityDescription><cityHoverDescription/></destinationEntryDetails><metaKeyword>flights to Osaka, Osaka attractions, things to do in Osaka, things to eat in Osaka, accomodation options in Osaka</metaKeyword><metaDescription>Book your flight deals with Singapore Airlines and discover the best places to stay in Osaka.

Building on a culinary tradition started by his great-grandfather in 1935, Tetsuya Fujiwara combines the finest quality Japanese ingredients with techniques learnt in Italy and Spain to create something utterly unique. The 14-course degustation moves from delicately steamed tilefish to spaghetti with wild boar ragu to strawberries and meringue. Ask for a wine-pairing menu that costs just ¥3,000 more. Insider Tip: Reservations are recommended two months in advance for Saturdays and one month in advance for weekdays – the restaurant has only 16 seats.</restaurantsDescription><insiderLabel/><insider/><whereToEatImage>/saar5/images/destination/what-to-eat-default.jpg</whereToEatImage><whereToEatImageAltText>Where to eat in Osaka - Fujiya 1935</whereToEatImageAltText><links><locationLinkLabel>540-0026 Osaka Prefecture</locationLinkLabel><externalLink>Japan, 〒540-0026 Osaka Prefecture, Osaka, 中央区鑓屋町2-4-14</externalLink><contactNo>+81 6-6941-2483</contactNo></links></places></whereToEatSection><whereToEatMetaDetails><metaKeyword>Where to eat in Osaka</metaKeyword><metaDescription>Choose from a variety of F&amp;B options when visiting Osaka</metaDescription></whereToEatMetaDetails></DestinationRootContainer><SmartVel><smartLocale>en</smartLocale><smartCity>Osaka</smartCity></SmartVel><deviceTypeElement><deviceType>desktop</deviceType></deviceTypeElement><JsonStringContainer><JsonString>{"masthead": {"items": [{"country": "Japan","destinationCountryCode": "JP","destinationCityCode": "OSA","capital": "Osaka","readMore": "Read More","readLess": "Read Less","favourites": "Add to favourites","image": "/saar5/images/destination/top-banners/Osaka.jpg"}]},"fareDeal": {"introTitle": "&nbsp;&nbsp;","introDescrition": "At first glance, Osaka seems to stand in the shadow of Tokyo. But this city of almost three million has its own spirited character that provides rich dividends for the traveller who takes the time to discover it. Nicknamed the &ldquo;nation&rsquo;s kitchen&rdquo; during the Edo period as it was the centre of the rice trade, Osaka&rsquo;s culinary landscape is so rich that its citizens have coined the expression kuidaore: to eat oneself bankrupt. It&rsquo;s no surprise then that the city is home to 137 Michelin-star restaurants, offering everything from exquisite kaiseki (traditional Japanese multi-course meal) to divine yakitori (grilled meats and vegetables on skewers). But as locals will tell you, some of the best food experiences can be found at food stalls and family-owned diners, which serve up hearty, Osakan favourites like kushikatsu (deep-fried meat skewers). And just like its no-frills food, Osaka&rsquo;s citizens are refreshingly down-to-earth and colourful. So whether you&rsquo;re enjoying one of the city&rsquo;s many festivals, museums or pretty parks &ndash; or simply asking for directions &ndash; chances are you&rsquo;ll be doing it while sharing a laugh with one of Osaka&rsquo;s friendly locals.",</JsonString><whatToDojsonString>{"count":5,"exploreTabTitle":"Explore","whatToDoTitle":"What to do","whereToEatTitle": "Where to eat","whereToStayTitle":"Where to stay","next":"","results":[{"name":"Visit Osaka Castle","description":"Visit Osaka Castle – a stunning white and gold structure, first built in the 16th century.
