The bulky clothes and boots take up so much luggage space, and more often than not, the weight alone attributes to more than half of our baggage allowance. Knowing what is vital to go into the luggage and what to exclude certainly reduces the possibility of paying for excess baggage. Having been to several winter holidays in the recent months – some of which required me to lug my load to run after inter-city trains and domestic flights – I should believe I am now a semi-pro in packing for sub-zero temperatures.

Here is my list of the top 5 must-haves for a winter holiday, which I have been religiously adhering to so as to not under (and over) pack.

Osaka Food Guide

Osaka is affectionately known as the “Kitchen of Japan”, and with this title, it only means that every meal at the Japanese city will be a good meal. There are no lack of options when dining at Osaka – from street snacks to fast meals at local eateries to a gastronomical display of kappo – and it is impossible to run out of ideas on what to eat because whether you are craving for an okonomiyaki or you need a bowl of piping hot ramen on a cold winter night, Osaka will feed you well.

Prior to our trip, we heard so much about how no one comes back from Osaka skinny, and while that thought did sound a little threatening, we knew we were going to love it. And indeed, we did! Friends and locals shared their favourites and go-to places with us, and we have compiled this Osaka food guide for your easy reference so that you will never have a bad meal at Osaka.

Cafes, local eateries, ramen parlours, sushi bars, exquisite dining in aristocratic ryoteis… you name it, Osaka has it. Enjoy feasting your way through the Kitchen of Japan!
