If you’re craving pork trotters in Osaka, this is a true hidden gem that locals love—and many foreigners don’t even know about because it’s tucked away.
The dishes featured in the video are:
Signature Pork Trotters
Pidan (century egg)
Chicken Liver Pâté (baked in a pastry crust)
Spicy Pork Trotters
Tandoori Pork Trotters
Anchovy Pepper Pork Trotters
The main and most classic item here is the Signature Pork Trotters. Unlike the sliced jokbal you usually get in Korea, it’s served as a whole roasted trotter. It might look a bit tricky to eat at first, but the meat is so tender you can pull it apart easily with chopsticks. Just looking at it makes your mouth water—and if you visit, this is an absolute must-try.
Of course, they’re famous for pork trotters, but they also have a variety of other delicious dishes. Pidan is a Chinese-style preserved egg (often made with chicken, duck, or quail eggs). When eaten with mustard, it’s said to be the perfect drinking snack—and this place’s pidan is especially known for its rich, refined flavor.
The chicken liver pâté baked in pastry is great on its own, but you can also scoop a bit and spread it on crackers. It pairs beautifully with wine, too.
This is a cozy spot with a fun variety of small dishes to try. If you’re looking for a great evening in Osaka with drinks and tasty bar bites, make sure to stop by Tonzoku Biichan!
