Dairiki Shokudo
Established in 1966, a long-running diner near Koshien Stadium with the spirit of a true Showa-era cafeteria. Yahoo! Maps 4.08. The walls are completely covered with signed shikishi from high school baseball teams and regulars. The katsudon alone has won the hearts of locals for over half a century. An extraordinary value proposition: a generous katsu with a sweet-savory dashi broth at just ¥600–¥750. Anyone living in the Hanshinkan area has heard of this local institution.
"I always stop here when I come to Koshien. Been coming for decades." "Katsudon at ¥600 is too cheap. The old-fashioned sweet egg-coated cutlet is the best." "Looking at the signed shikishi on the wall while eating is part of the experience." "A sacred spot for high school baseball players—some schools always visit before or after games."
