About Shinsaibashi Project Restaurant and Wine Bar
The historic old house in Shinsaibashi, Osaka has been renovated as a restaurant and a wine bar. Built over 60 years ago in a prime location in Shinsaibashi, this old house was the home of the 8th generation Kabuki actor, Raizo Ichikawa, who was a superstar at the time.
