Start your night out in Osaka with a full stomach by filling up on delicious Osaka foods in Dotonbori. Plenty of tourists flock here to visit the shops, including CREO-RU Dotonbori, packed with Osaka specialties such as takoyaki and okonomiyaki.

The delicious aroma wafting from the 1st-floor takoyaki corner beckons!

The delicious okonomiyaki is baked on an iron plate to fluffy perfection, and topped with plenty of mayonnaise. There is a rich lineup of filling options, from classic pork to squid, shrimp, and even seafood mix.

Their standard takoyaki is topped with its classic sauce and mayonnaise, for a more flavorful and original meal. But if you're looking for a snack, the savory truffle-salt takoyaki is a great choice. The menu is also written in English, so you can easily make your selection!

After filling your belly, quench your thirst at the bar. GOLD Bar is a great place to continue your night out in Osaka with some delicious fruit cocktails and fun conversation. It is located in Souemon-cho, a bar-lined street only a 4-minute walk east of CREO-RU Dotonbori!

All fruit cocktails are special flavors crafted by bar owner Mr. Akimoto, a former patissier, and incorporate the original flavor and sweetness of the fruits used. The Kiwi Cocktail uses Zespri Green Kiwi, with its characteristic sour taste, plus Japanese Wasanbon sugar for added sweetness. The cocktail base is a cup of white rum, with added tropical yogurt liqueur for a rich, sweet-and-sour balance.

The Kiwi and Strawberry Cocktails are also very sweet and palatable, so it's hard not to keep going!

Although it is a lively, casual bar, they also serve authentic sake. Some hard-to-find Japanese whiskeys are also available.

From pastry chef to bar master, Mr. Akimoto has had a variety of life experiences. His communication skills are outstanding, and even foreign travelers will find themselves enjoying conversation!

At GOLD Bar, you can also enjoy karaoke and darts. Also, for foreign tourists only, you can enjoy one karaoke song (100 yen each) for free. What better way to enjoy the Osaka nightlife than delicious sake and karaoke!
