Aju

Aju is a very small vegetarian Japanese restaurant in Osaka known for its creative soy meat dishes and veganized local specialties like okonomiyaki and yakitori skewers. The intimate venue, accommodating up to 4 tables, is run solely by the owner who manages cooking and service, leading to occasional wait times. While the food is praised for authenticity and flavor, portions are generally small and pricing is considered a bit high by some guests; the owner is polite but not very talkative, contributing to a quieter, less social atmosphere.
