13 Cheap and Delicious Yakiniku Restaurants in Osaka

One dish that you must try when you visit Japan is yakiniku. Literally translated into "grilled meat", it refers to Japanese-style barbecue, with thinly cut slices of meat grilled over a stove.

However, unlike typical restaurants where the food is cooked by the restaurant staff, at yakiniku restaurants, you actually grill the meat yourself! We will introduce 13 delicious yakiniku restaurants in Osaka that are popular on gourmet sites.
