Food experience in Umeda and Kita
Kimono experience and Japanese home-cooking lesson Osaka Umeda
2 of these places are in Umeda and Kita
Osaka reads its coffee through the kissaten tradition and a newer roaster wave, and the two now share the same streets. LiLo Coffee Roasters in Shinsaibashi and Amerikamura is a reliable reference point for the specialty crowd, with Sloth Coffee Roasters working the lighter roasts up in Umeda and Kita. Nakanoshima and Kitahama hold Aoma Coffee and School Bus Coffee Stop, while the converted machiya lanes of the Nakazakicho Cafe Quarter give the city its slow-afternoon counterpoint.
