Actually almost all the popular shops situated within city boundaries have a back entrance.
The 2 Ginzas (excluding 278 which they still use), 5 Star, Sakura, Kyoto.
Generally any shop that is in an old house that was originally built for residential purpose will have a back entrance.
The ones that do NOT have a back entrance are the ones in old shop fronts like all those RNT places along Pitt St behind World Square, the old DOS on Sussex St, Sydney Empress on Liverpool St, etc. It's only 1 entrance and a single flight of stairs up to those shops. Everytime I visit one of these places I get nervous... Surely such a setup constitutes a safety problem in case of fire.
