Do tell as I somehow occasionally find myself in the sketchy areas, much to my amusement (so not the target demographic). Is it Tobita Shinchi? I was happy to have come across so many restaurants while looking around Tennoji on Google Maps streetview until I was puzzled as I'd definitely have read of a period era neighborhood with so many restaurants.
