I
spent
6+
months
living
in
Osaka
this
year
and
Little
Long
Beach
was
one
of
my
favorite
parts
of
the
experience.
I
only
speak
a
little
Japanese,
so
my
ideal
place
was
always
one
that
was
mostly
locals
but
with
maybe
some
visitors
and
hopefully
English-friendly.
LLB
was
a
great
fit.
Chad,
the
owner,
is
from
Southern
California
(hence
the
"Long
Beach")
but
he's
lived
in
Osaka
for
20
years
and
speaks
Japanese.
The
regular
crowd
at
LLB
is
fun
and
interested
locals-
mostly
Japanese
but
with
lots
of
other
nationalities
as
well.
There
is
a
great
drink
selection
and
I
really
enjoyed
the
limited
bar
menu-
the
pizza
and
quesadillas
hit
the
spot
and
paired
well
with
the
highballs
and
chu-highs.
Chad
like
introducing
people
to
each
other
and
encouraging
conversation.
Often,
he
volunteered
me
to
join
in
a
game
of
darts
with
locals
and
I
always
had
a
great
time.
I
had
so
many
great
conversations
at
LLB
and
made
many
friends.
I
can
wait
to
go
back
as
soon
as
I
can.
I
recommend
it
to
people
who
want
to
try
to
practice
a
little
Japanese,
too.
You
can
usually
find
a
local
who'd
also
like
to
practice
their
English.
Little
Long
Beach
is
a
great
spot
and
conveniently
located
in
Namba.
Stop
by
and
tell
Chad
that
Toddo-san
sent
you!
