In Japan, you can dine on the tightest of budgets or you can splash out a month's wages on one meal. The Japanese have a special term, kuidaore, which means ‘eat till you drop' and it sums up the people of Osaka. The choice is yours! Besides Japanese restaurants in Osaka there are many Chinese, Korean, and Indian cuisine and other Southeast Asian fare in Osaka. Osaka boasts of a handful of American restaurants that cover most of the area. Loco-mon, Osaka is one such American restaurant in Osaka . About Loco-mon, Osaka Loco-mon, Osaka is more a take-out stall than a café. This establishment in Nishi-shinsaibashi offers to the Japanese public what has long since become extremely popular in America- cinammon rolls . A cinnamon roll (also cinnamon bun) is a type of pastry found commonly in North America and Northern Europe. It consists of a rolled sheet of yeast dough onto which a cinnamon and sugar mixture is sprinkled over a thin coat of melted butter. The dough is then rolled, cut into individual portions, and baked. For better taste, cinnamon rolls are frequently topped with icing or glaze of some sort, or with nib sugar, a common ingredient found in northern Europe. Loco-mon, Osaka readily acknowledges that it modeled itself after its American counterpart, which is reason to rejoice for many. Although sweet things traditionally have not found much popularity with Japanese tastes, the so-called 'cinammon roll industry' seems to be changing that. Loco-mon, Osaka is closed on every second and fourth Wednesday of the month.
