Yakiniku — Japanese grill-it-yourself barbecue — is the best group dinner in Osaka: you order plates of meat, cook them over a tabletop grill, and drink as you go. Many places offer an all-you-can-eat (tabehodai) or all-you-can-drink (nomihodai) course for a fixed price.
Expect ¥3,000–¥6,000 per person with drinks at a mid-range place; premium wagyu specialists cost more. Most yakiniku restaurants in Osaka take reservations, and weekends fill up — arrive before 18:30 or book.
Local specialty: Kushikatsu. Osaka-style deep-fried skewers of meat, vegetables, and seafood. Served with a shared communal dipping sauce — double-dipping is strictly forbidden. Shinsekai's Daruma chain or the dozens of independent shops along Janseicho street.
