Why is Osaka's Yakiniku culture so popular ?
In Japan, Osaka has long been known as the "town of Kuidore" (eat til you drop) and the "kitchen of the world". For this reason, there are countless Osaka-originated specialties such as takoyaki and kushikatsu. It is said that Osaka is also the birthplace of the current Japanese way of eating yakiniku - dipping grilled meat in sauces.
In Osaka, both Japanese and foreign visitors consume a lot of meat. The reason is that there are many yakiniku restaurants in Osaka. Since they compete with each other on price and quality, consumers can get better deals here than in other areas. And as the number of such restaurants increases, more people visit yakiniku restaurants in Osaka. That's how Osaka's yakiniku culture was created.
