But <strong>Osaka<\/strong> should not be missing from your culinary journey either. The &#8220;<em>Food Capital of the<\/em>World&#8221; is jokingly called &#8220;<em>Kuidaore<\/em>,&#8221; which means as much as &#8220;eat untill you drop. Feast on all the Japanese delicacies at street food stalls, such as Kushikatsu (fried vegetables on a stick), Okonomiyaki (pancakes with cabbage, squid, shrimp and octopus) or Takoyaki (dough balls stuffed with octopus, ginger and spring onions). Is your mouth already watering? During a private cooking class, you will learn to make these and other typical Japanese dishes so that you can enjoy these delicacies at home.<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>THE WORLD&#8217;S 50 BEST RESTAURANTS<\/h4>\n<div>Tokyo has several top restaurants.
