Toriya Kunigata Seisakujo

This lively group feels like a scene from a play, and they are truly the Seven Samurai of Tani Rokku right now. It's common to see couples gathering at the counter, but the scene shifts dramatically with a banquet for the sales team in the tatami room on the second floor, followed by a family restaurant vibe the next day with kids running around. Such a dynamic atmosphere is hard to find in Kita or Minami.

The narrow alley lined with traditional houses contrasts with the various office buildings along the main road, and just a bit further in, you'll find tall, auto-lock apartments. The owner casually mentions, "I had no idea about this area," but it perfectly reflects the diverse clientele of the neighborhood. I was about to elaborate, but I decided to hold back since it's just a given for a great establishment.
