In addition to that, the city is known for its passion in culinary to the point that a local expression was created to describe the eccentric feeling. Kuidaore is an expression to eat oneself to ruins and bankruptcy where one spends too much in devouring delicious delicacies. Osaka takes the expression to the heart as the street of Dotonbori offers food enthusiasts the local specialties of the city which are takoyaki (grilled octopus in bitesizes) and okonomiyaki (mixed grilled ingredients).
