OSAKA NAMBA: Kushikatsu Hyotan located steps away from Yoshimoto YES Theater. Cozy counter seating with kitchen view. (Sony RX100M2)

Dinner on the cheap... greasy Kushikatsu! 

Storing all the kushikatsu skewers.

The automatic Otoshi Appetizer... Cabbage

Freshly made seasoned egg is always a great choice.  Its called Dashi-Maki-Tamago.

Beef, Shitake Mushrooms and Chicken. 

Prices are in the 100 yen range 

Lots of signatures on the wall... can only assume because its next to Yoshimoto YES Theater.  

Yoshimoto is the largest Japanese comedian production company.

My cozy counter seating at the end.  Lots of social distancing 

So many Octopus Tako!  

Solo chef at work.  Dipping the kushiyaki in a tub of oil. 

Had to use the last of my Osaka Travel e-cash and this ice cream took me over 2,000 yen.

So many Ultra Man actors have visited.

OSAKA NAMBA: Chaso-Moritaen for one of the best Green Tea soft creams ever! I went 3x! (Sony RX100M2)

My favorite Frappuccino is the US?  Yeah that will be Starbucks Green Tea Frap!  Anyways...

Passed by this Kyotoo green tea specialty shop and just had to try the soft cream. 

HOmepage: https://chaso-moritaen.com/

3 types of soft cream... Macha, Mix and Vanilla. 

They also have food options.

大阪いらっしゃいキャンペーン2022... サンキュー！！

Order and pay at the register then have a seat. 

Very comfy interior. 

Here it is!  The Macha flavor was sooo deep and had a great thick ice cream texture. 

Soooo goood!!

I think Nissei is a famous Osaka based soft cream maker... guess they source the cones from them.

Day 2!

Day 3!  Yup I went 3 days in a row.  The only difference was the amount of ice cream.  Some staff tend to go deep into the cone and others less.  A hit and miss on volume but still great.  When in Osaka Namba area and need a spot to chill why not here! PS I pooped green like the Hulk
