The flamboyant signage doesn't stop with animals and dragons...

This angry chef is the mascot (and actual owner) of the Daruma kushi-katsu restaurant in Dotonbori. I ate here for dinner. Kushi-katsu is basically an assortment of items which are skewered, battered, and deep-fried.

I accidentally ordered the largest kushi-katsu set on the menu, and thus had to ingest no fewer than 22 fried skewers all by my lonesome. Upon finishing (and I DID finish!), I felt like I was going to explode.
