Arigato Kitchen Seafood Izakaya at Dotonbori, Osaka

Standing seafood izakaya from century-old doteyaki specialist Akagakiya in Namba.

Arigato Kitchen is a standing-drink concept from Akagakiya, the Osaka doteyaki institution founded a century ago, set on the second floor of a Namba building three minutes from the station. The menu carries the parent brand's love of seafood and the namesake miso-glazed beef tendon stew, served standing at counter as the old-school tachinomi style demands. Hours run from 5pm on weekdays and from noon on weekends, closing at 10pm, with Mondays off. The shop runs its own app for stamps and coupons, and an active Instagram account showcases the rotating monthly specials and drinks lineup. For a quick, convivial drink with proper bar snacks in central Namba, Arigato Kitchen distils a century of Osaka tachinomi heritage into a modern, seafood-leaning format.
