As I mentioned, we only have 2 days in Osaka, so we wanted to fit in as much as possible. So after we left Universal Studios Japan, we went back to the hotel to freshen up and then headed right back out to Dotonburi to grab some dinner. We decided to go to a kushikatsu restaurant called Yokozuna Hozenji that looks super freaking cool on the outside:
Yokozuna Hozenji
Tamagoyaki
Takoyaki
Okonomiyaki
Kushikatsu
It's grungy in there. And that's the charm. Casual, busy, loud. It's not about the aesthetics, but about the ambience. The food was decent (though I don't recommend the takoyaki here — it's definitely fried from frozen, and there are quite literally dozens of places in Dotonburi that specialize in takoyaki as it's the specialty in Osaka), but as expected, the kushikatsu is the star here. You can order specific types, but we decided to get an assortment of 10, which ranges from eggplant and asparagus to quail eggs and chicken. I don't drink, but I imagine it would be especially irresistible with a few cold beers, as every other table seemed to have.
Oh, and you can smoke in here. (You can take that as a recommendation or a warning.)
