Eat Like A Local Osaka Food Map

口寂しい “kuchisabishii” is a uniquely Japanese word that literally means “lonely mouth” or “longing to have or put something in one’s mouth"

Do you find yourself always thinking of your next meal so your mouth won't get lonely?

You're not alone.

Through our local food map guides we want to share with you favourite local eateries and family run restaurants that we've discovered so you can eat like a local when visiting Japan.

Thanks to social media there are many popular eateries in the tourist areas who do deserve to be busy but we want to help you avoid the over-hyped and over-priced tourist traps so you can get the best value for your money.

You also will be able to give back to Japan when you visit these family run restaurants which are usually located just outside the main tourist areas as they deserve support too.

This is important to us as we also come from a multi-generational family of restaurant owners.

It's not just about what Japan can do for you, it's also about what you can do for Japan by just supporting local family run businesses when you visit Japan
