Osaka is the second largest city in Japan. As it is close to former capital Kyoto and Nara, Osaka prospered as an important point for land and water transportation as well as commerce.
It is difficult to overstate the culture of gastronomy in Osaka, when the city is unofficially known as "kuidaore no machi", which translates as "the city where you eat till you drop".
