Fujiidera, Osaka, Japan｜Nowhere Hajinosato

The road to "Nowhere H*" is one minute walk NNE from Hajinosato Station (Kintetsu Railway Minami Osaka Line.) A soft-spoken vintage sign invites you to take an alley into the nook of retro-fit row houses, giving you a feeling of time slip a half-century back. Nestled behind Fire Station, this hard-to-find place is "Creation Base", a multi-functional establishment with French Bistro/Cafe on 1F and co-working space on 2F. After getting together with our City Guide group for mid-morning coffee in the cafe, we stayed to try their blue place special (￥1,200) for lunch. Preceded by a big plate of extremely fresh green salad, generous serving of stuffed eggplant was so fresh and flavorful, which reminded me of a bit of Moussaka. Everything was delicious and carefully prepared. This is one of those places that you adore so much that you want to keep it secret. But for now, a couple of young owners/french trained chef need a little more business. Join me, why won't you, as I'm tempted to go back and try more of their desserts.

Nice place & very friendly staff . Food is good & reasonable

A cafe in a renovated old tenement house. Nostalgic and super stylish. In addition, each dish and dessert is emotionally prepared with careful consideration of nutritional distribution, herbal scent and taste, lipid variations, and sweetness balance. Cute and fashionable.
