Critters Burger started out as a humble food truck back in 2008 and has since grown into one of Osaka’s most-loved burger joints. Founded by chef Kenjiro Kurita, Critters cooks up chunky wagyu beef patties and serves them in homemade buns baked with Hokkaido wheat and natural yeast.
The ‘nation’s kitchen’ and the city of kuidaore – eating until you drop – Osaka is Japan’s culinary capital, where the best ingredients from across the country get turned into a dizzying variety of delicacies.
