Osaka Osakashi Chuou-ku Nishishinsaibashi 1-10-28

A pancake café located in the Shinsaibashi area, part of Osaka’s Minami commercial district. This popular chain of cafes has multiple locations with a focus on the Kansai region. Made with meringue and whole wheat flour, the shop’s popular spongy soufflé pancakes are served topped with a hearty dollop of whipped cream and fruit. The café also serves meal-style pancakes, like a take on the croque-monsieur, and it becomes particularly crowded during lunchtime on weekends and holidays. Furnished with comfortable chairs and tables, the café’s subdued atmosphere makes it easy for men to come in as well. The shop’s “3D cappuccinos,” adorned with animals and other three dimensional latte art foam decoration, are particularly popular.

Osaka Osakashi Chuou-ku Sennichimae 1-9-1

A venerable café located in Osaka’s Minami commercial district which has won itself numerous fans with its rich, full-bodied coffee. As one might expect of such a long-standing establishment, the shop is fastidious about the details, including using the same cups provided to the Imperial household. The shop also continues to use the roasting method and unique drip extraction method passed down by the original founder. The café’s old-fashioned hotcakes are a particularly popular dessert choice to go with its coffee. The shop’s brick exterior and retro interior also appear in Seiko Tanabe’s novel Bara no ame. The closest station is Nippombashi Station.

Breakfast places that open early are not easy to find in Osaka. You will discover a few recommended cafes but they normally open around 9pm. As there were several reviews that rated it badly, we went...

The secret to the shop's crisp takoyaki dough is the abundant sprinkling of tenkasu deep fried dough bits.

The Nakaza Kuidaore Building was constructed on the site of what had formerly been the Naka-za, a famous theatre that played a leading role in supporting Kamigata (Osaka–Kyoto region) traditional performing arts from the Edo period onwards. The Building has been renovated and reopened, borrowing the name “Kuidaore” (“Eat till you drop”) from a famous nearby restaurant that closed in July 2009. The “Kuidaore Taro” mascot that stands in front of the Building, dressed as a Chindo’ya (elaborately-dressed street musicians that used to drum up business for local stores) has become an iconic symbol of the Dotonburi district where the Building is located, and is a popular backdrop for photographs.
