Osaka's Local Scene
What local spots would you recommend?
Listening Bar
flo— 本町 / Honmachi
A wonderful place where every detail reflects the owner’s personal taste, from the interior and sound system to the small objects throughout the space. Great wine and craft beer, too.
Record Shop
Newtone Records— 心斎橋 / Shinsaibashi
I don’t go to record shops very often, but whenever I look up an artist I’m interested in, I somehow always end up on the Newtone Records website. Their descriptions and reviews are incredibly helpful, and I’m always learning something from them.
Café
結音茶舗 / Yuion Chaho— 谷町 / Tanimachi
A Japanese tea bar in a renovated traditional Japanese house. The tea is excellent, and the food is great too. Since the owner is also an artist, we can talk about all kinds of things and exchange ideas, so I often end up drinking there until morning.
