July 2023 Postcard - Osaka Flamethrower Chef

Toyo-san is one of the great chefs of Osaka, more an outdoor BBQ than an Izakaya but the food is THAT good and his cooking is like a performance.

You only live once and when you do something like this you have to be safe - but also not shy away from the challenge. Everyone has told me doing Hokkaido by motorcycle is the best in summer and I said to myself one day I WILL DO IT! Last summer, w...
