Suggestions to finalize Osaka itinerary

az

Hello, planning for Tokyo & Kyoto had me kind of ignore Osaka and I just started working on it. I'm there for a week and would appreciate any help filling in gaps! The priority is to try stuff that Osaka does well.

The 2 places I have reservations at are Sushi Sanshin & Yakitori Ichimatsu.

In addition, I'm considering the following:

1. Horumon: Nama Horumon Dokoro Osamuchan. I have a bunch of Yakiniku places planned so I'm primarily looking at this for the Horumon. Don't know if I can get reservations or if there are other places that I should consider.
2. Okonomiyaki: Hirokazuya & Jibundoki (apparently this requires reservations)
3. Unagi: Unagiya & Yoshitora. This is to compare it with Unagi in Tokyo.
4. Oden: Hanakujira
5. Fugu (Tecchiri?): Ajihei. Is this worth it? The fugu I've had in NYC was good but I don't think I liked it enough to make an entire meal out of it. Not sure if it'll be different there.
6. Hakozushi: Takotake & Yoshino
7. Whale: Doozono. Not sure if this is worth it.
8. I wanted to do Wayōshusai Hide but I don't think I'll get reservations now.
9. Curry: Columbia 8, Botani & Kyuuyamutei
10. Okonomiyaki: Any suggestions?
11. Iyaki: Not sure if/where

Any other specific restaurants that I should consider?
Ant, I'm guessing there are dishes that Osaka specializes in that I've missed. Please feel free to suggest some! Thank you!

Oops, “10” Should be “Takoyaki”, not Okonomoyaki.

Perhaps give kushiage a try, since you’re in Osaka.
