Shizuka Goes Drinking Again… Tokyo Mixology Tour:
Shizuka joins Rodney Smith, a local guide who has been living in Osaka for the past 15 years, for a food tour in Osaka. Part 1 of the tour takes place at a local Osaka street food spot, Torame Yokocho (Tiger Eye Alley) in Namba, Osaka, heaven for fried food lovers.
Here, Shizuka tries a variety of authentic kushikatsu (fried skewers), an Osaka street food staple, and learns the golden rule of kushikatsu: no double dipping!
They also order sushi, karaage, yaki-edamame, and more! Torame Yokocho has it all, including Osaka-style okonomiyaki, fresh off the teppan griddle. Even their chopsticks come with extra flair — Omikuji fortune-telling papers, which are usually found at temples & shrines.
After sufficiently filling up on classic Osaka street foods and a couple rounds of beer, they continue on to the next part of the Namba Osaka tour… getting a little taste of Osaka nightlife on a bar hopping adventure!
