Yamatoya

Yamatoya is an old standing bar near Tsutenkaku in Osaka that serves kushikatsu, sushi, and fried dishes. Customers order kushikatsu by writing on paper and pair it with doteyaki, dojo fries, and draft beer. It opens at 9:30 a.m., and people stand and drink along a single counter, pouring the sauce themselves. Smoking is allowed inside, which is uncomfortable for anyone sensitive to cigarette smoke.
