What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Founded in 1945, this long-established sweet potato shop is an Abeno institution. The signature 'Abeno Potato' is a candied sweet potato (daigakuimo) soaked in special honey syrup—crispy outside, fluffy inside. Fans travel from far away; lines are constant. The definitive soul food of Abeno.

Locals say: 'Worth waiting in line,' 'It's become my go-to Osaka souvenir,' 'I've been coming since I was a kid.' Tabelog 3.66, 602 reviews. A must-visit legacy shop.
