GREETINGS
Hi, there!
Welcome to the website of writer Midori Takeuchi!
I am a freelance writer based in Osaka, Japan, specializing in interviews and storytelling.

My focus is on Osaka’s Semba district, creating feature articles that highlight the voices of chefs, restaurant owners, and hospitality professionals—capturing both their stories and the passion behind them.

About Me&OSAKA
“Huge small town”
When people from abroad ask me, “What is the charm of Osaka?” this is the phrase I always use.
For me, Osaka is a metropolis that still feels like a small town—where people are approachable, warm, and sometimes even a little too kind. That spirit of closeness is something I truly value about this city.
Osaka is also renowned as Japan’s culinary capital. Beyond local favorites such as okonomiyaki and takoyaki, the city offers an incredible diversity of food experiences, from everyday meals to fine dining, all at accessible prices.
This unique blend of small-town comfort and big-city dynamism is what makes Osaka special.
As a writer based here, I am committed to sharing this charm with the world.
Through interviews and storytelling, I help connect Osaka’s people and culture with a global audience.
