Osaka Osakashi Chuou-ku Namba 1-6-7

A venerable café founded in 1951 located close to Ebisu Bridge and the Hozen-ji Temple in Osaka City’s Chuo Ward. The shop’s nel drip coffee made with coarse ground South American beans has a mild and flavor and mellow aroma. The shop’s Arabia sandwich, a tamagoyaki rolled omelet with ham served between toasted slices of bread, is particularly popular among its food options. The shop’s well-used chairs and tables emit an atmosphere of the “good old days.” The interior of the shop resounds with the comfortable conversations of the shop master and regulars.

We came in just for a cup of coffee. The coffee was good but the atmosphere in the place was great. The cafe is run by father and son. The father is, like me, a huge Tintin fan and has a nice...

Osaka Osakashi Chuou-ku Minamisemba 3-8-1

A venerable udon noodle shop located in Osaka City’s Chuo Ward said to be the originator of kitsune udon noodles. When the restaurant was first founded in 1893, it served the inari fried tofu separate from the udon noodles, but after it became common for customers to add the inari to their noodles, the restaurant began serving the noodles with the inari already on top. The dashi stock, noodles, and spongy, juicy fried tofu made according to the same recipe as when the shop first opened are the taste of old Osaka.

Udon soup the same for any toppings. One of the bowls I got a tiny piece of fish cake. No surprises. Size of the bowls are pretty small, not filling at all.
