Moving to Dotonbori - A district for classy play-goers

HARIJYU moved to its current location, Dotonbori, in 1948.
Upon relocation, Western dishes were added to the HARIJYU menu, which originally only served Japanese cuisine.
The newly-added Western dishes were very well accepted by the sophisticated crowd in Dotonbori and brought huge success to the restaurant.

There used to be many theaters in Dotonbori in those days, which attracted many play-lovers.
Stylish gentlemen, madams, and geishas from the Hanamachi district often frequented our restaurant to enjoy a feast after watching plays. Actors, entertainers, cultural figures, and foreign visitors soon became regular customers as well.
Being the golden age of film entertainment, movie stars and famous singers were also known to stop by to enjoy our food.
