Have you ever been to Nishinari in Osaka? It is one of the dirtiest and olddest part of Osaka, it is also where all the yakuza and prostitues are. It is also the heart of Osaka.
At first I had this "it is not the place to be" feel about Nishinari, why would you like to live there? But after a good evening in one of the best and amazing restaurant I've ever been to, I changed my mind a bit.
Last night I went to a place called "hyakuban", a 100years old prostitue's house that turned to a normal restaurant in the middle of the hottest area in Osaka.
