An alley off Higashimon-gai, Kobe
White lantern found?
You made it.
Five counter seats, six at tables. A griddle running until 5am, deep in an alley. Good as a first stop, better after you have missed the last train.

- Step 2 Take the alley Turn into the alley near the Lawson. You cannot see the shop from the main street.
- Step 3 The white lantern The white lantern is us: ground floor of the 7KM building. Once you are here, just sit down.
