THE KONAMON BAR RIKYU

The Konamon Bar Rikyu is a takoyaki shop in a quiet part of a market near Osaka Castle. It serves takoyaki along with soft ice cream and matcha or black sesame lattes, with tables indoors and outdoors. Each person must order one drink, and about 30 minutes after being seated, staff clear the drinks even if they are unfinished and tell customers not to stay long. The drinks taste plain and the service is rough.
