1. I won’t tell my comfort place or it will be crowded by tourist 🥺

2. There’s an iekei ramen spot around Kandai that’s probably the best ramen I’ve had in Osaka.

   Also if you’re looking for jjajangmyeon, 香港飯店0410 道頓堀店 in Dotonbori is actually not bad. But any fried dish with sauce is heavy on the corn syrup, so beware.

3. Hiroki Ioka boxing gym [https://www.instagram.com/hiroki_ioka__boxing_gym](https://www.instagram.com/hiroki_ioka__boxing_gym)

   great vegetarian place with nice people [https://maps.app.goo.gl/sLtSXuM4Y1fHMJde8](https://maps.app.goo.gl/sLtSXuM4Y1fHMJde8)

5. Cool art along the Dotonbori west of Midosuji

6. I went to the Hokusai and Hiroshige expo in Nakanoshima. It’s the first time I could see The Great Wave off Kanagawa.

7. negiyaki

8. A few months ago I discovered Crisp Salad Works in Hankyu Sanbangai – you can replace lettuce with kale in any salad and I super missed eating kale salads. Decent portions too.

9. Being invited to join a group pissing on the side of a building after leaving the club is peak male bonding

10. Quite well known, but the interior of the tower of the sun was quite trippy

11. Loved Space Station a small video game bar that I also found recommended on Reddit.

12. I like the Fujita Art Museum, a small quaint place walkable from Osaka Castle. They regularly rotate their collection around frequently as well.
