Osaka, Japan｜Hayashi-rice & Jewelry crafts Hahaha

Such a lovely retro café with a wonderful cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. Loved the look and feel of the place as well as the food. And conveniently located near by Osaka Kaiyuukan Aquarium.

Finally visited this shop after noticing it a couple years ago. This cute shop is in a historic building that once contained a shipping company. Many of the original fixtures are still in use, giving it a unique vintage feel. The menu is limited but the main draw for most people seems to be the hayashi rice/hayashi omrice (rice filled omelette). The hayashi sauce is quite authentic with the kind of deep beef flavor that you don't get with premade roux from the super market. It tastes like the chef has spent hours simmering it. There are also a few homemade cakes available, as well as a number of drink options. The apple cake I had was pleasant, not overly sweet. There is wifi available if you request it. The shop has a small shop area selling accessories such as jewelry, etc. While such a delicate place does not seem at first glance like it would be suited for children, the owners have children's books and a small play area in the shop. Though there is no dedicated children's menu, there is at least one high chair available. If you're in the area this cafe offers a unique retro experience! Do check the hours though as they are closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Just round the corner from the action in Tempozan and such a contrasting experience. A great place to unwind and have a delicious bite to eat.
