About this audio guide
This guide to Sennichimae Doguyasuji in Osaka opens with a crowd gathered on October 13, 2013 to watch an oversized taiyaki cake come out of a custom iron mold. It traces the street back to 1882, when it began as secondhand shops leading to a nearby temple, through the fire that destroyed the district in 1912 and the decision merchants made afterward about who they would sell to. Look closely at the shop windows as you walk, where plastic noodles glisten under fake broth.
