Tokyo might have Kappabashi Street, but Osaka’s answer to that is Doguyasuji Arcade - a narrow, 150 meter-long covered shopping arcade that’s Osaka’s kitchen and restaurant supply street. The arcade is located about 5 minutes on foot southeast of Namba subway station. It is also easily reached on foot from Dotombori or Den-Den Town.

Doguyasuji Arcade has, quite literally, anything and everything but the kitchen sink. If you look hard enough, you may also find a kitchen sink in various sizes and international delivery options. Alright, we jest - but where else in Osaka will you find thumb-sized milk pitchers, 6-feet long rice spatulas, 25-liter capacity soup pots, 10-liter pickle jars, and industrial takoyaki-makers?
