Yatai Yasube

**It opens at seven at night.** And runs to three in the morning. There is no lunchtime version at the stall — for daytime, use the Hirome Market branch. **Closed Sundays.** Which catches out weekend visitors who have spent Sunday at the morning market. **Order gyoza and beer and stop there.** The menu is short by design. This is a stall, not a restaurant. **There are other stalls on the same street.** Yamachan and others operate nearby and are generally quieter. The yatai culture, not this specific stall, is the thing to experience. **Standing or stools, and close quarters.** Expect to be beside strangers and to be spoken to. That is normal here and is a large part of why the format survives in Kochi and nowhere else.
