Robatayaki Kakurechaya — Restaurant in Osaka

Walked in at 7 pm on a Saturday, seated immediately on the first floor in front of the grill - I think we got really lucky though!

He then cooked our food and walked off again when he finished. When he came back after a few more minutes, he was wearing gloves again and cooking for everyone else. I'm not sure why he didn't have gloves on for cooking our food but I found it odd. Otherwise, as stated, it was a nice...
