Food Scene

My absolute most favourite space on Earth. When you finish the soup, you will get a glimpse of the meaning of the Universe. If you feel good, want to feel good, or are hungry, come to this oasis.

Homemade and delicious American hamburger. Great selection of tasty beers, not plain and regular ones, but ones with character. Reminds me that I should go again... Let's go together!

Get their "Ankake-Chahan" when you're hungry. Savoury and very fulfilling with a gentle dry/wet texture. (Stay away from their Ramen) I go often and wouldn't mind joining you.

Lunch. Come here for lunch, and get a nice dish -- colourful salad bar included. Sit on the terrace and enjoy the peaceful park scenery. Talk to the next table and pet their cute little puppies.

ANY kind of Japanese set-meal or awesome side-dish, including the Kansai limited "stranger bowl", made from (the "strangers") beef meat and egg, in a bowl over rice. Sweet older ladies. I go often.

Shopping

You won't bring cabinets from abroad, but this is nevertheless a fun place to visit and chill out a bit. So popular that their merchandise gets entirely replaced every few days. Cute staff friend.

Very cool clothes shop run by my friends. They made the interiors. They inherited all my income. They built my wardrobe.

A Japanese "Home Center" (home depot), where they have *everything* that cannot be eaten. I cannot allow my dad in here -- he would never leave.

Drinks & Nightlife

Cool bar in 2nd floor. I've only been there once. They were playing old-skool Jap pop music and showing a French animation on projector. You must be able to handle cigarette smoke (I don't :P)

Korean bar with interesting people in it. Bar tenders are sweet. They've got Karaoke. The tall owner can play the piano and sing :)

Essentials

Nice supermarket. Still trying to figure out which segment this one is aiming at -- the reasonable or the high-class one. Probably somewhere in between.

See Life Nishiohashi just to the north. This one is closer. They have high-cocoa contents, smooth, dark chocolate -- great for an intermittent addict.

Everything Else

Excellent Takoyaki and Okonomiyaki, despite somehow resembling a chain-shop. The Takoyaki have a golden brown, crisp surface.

Sightseeing

World famous architecture by Hundertwasser. Amusement park-like in the day -- spooky atmosphere in the rainy night. Robots playing tunes. What might hide itself behind it? Be sure to go take a look.
