Tea time at the favorite Japanese cafe Wad Omotenashi Cafe in Minami Chayamachi. This time, I visited with a friend. The soft light coming in through the window and the gentle indirect lighting create a lovely, relaxed atmosphere with a Japanese feel. It's always so soothing to come here. This time, we had the Summer Harvest Green Tea for 1200 yen. The tea leaves used were harvested during the hot summer season. The first infusion is at 90°C, and the second infusion brings out a bit of bitterness. The teapot and teacup were brought on a wooden tray, along with dried fruits as a tea snack. The staff poured the first infusion, and after that, we could pour it ourselves. It's said that by keeping the teapot lid open, you can enjoy the tea up to the fourth infusion. It was a blissful time surrounded by the wonderful aroma of Japanese tea. The tea was gentle and had a soft, pleasant taste. I ended up having three infusions and felt content. The dried fruit tea snacks - sweet orange, fruit tomato, nuts - complemented the deliciousness of the tea. My friend chose the Matcha Latte (iced) for 1000 yen, made with Uji Hikari-based matcha milk, steamed milk, kinako (roasted soybean flour), and black honey on top. The warm and welcoming service also added to the relaxing experience. Thank you for the meal.

The atmosphere is nice. Being able to choose a matcha bowl raises the excitement. The taste, including the sweets, is elegant. The shop has originality as there are no similar ones. However, since there are no similar shops, it is difficult to compare, but I think the cost performance is not good.

I had some time before visiting a client in Osaka, so I decided to check out this shop for the first time. It's quite popular for its calm atmosphere and sweet treats. I ordered the matcha shaved ice with hojicha for 1200 yen. The ice was finely shaved, and the thick matcha quickly soaked in when I spooned it over. I was worried about getting too cold since I ate it quickly, but the warm hojicha helped to balance it out. It would be great if there were shops like this near my workplace in Tokyo or my home in Yokohama.

This is an incredibly wonderful restaurant, located quietly in the bustling Shinsaibashi area between Midosuji and Yotsubashi streets in Osaka. They open right at 12:00, and reservations are not accepted, so be prepared to wait in line during the summer. The line outside on the external staircase adds to the unique charm of Osaka. I personally love sitting at the counter in restaurants as you can feel the chef's craftsmanship, and I was lucky to find a good seat available. The fact that they offer "mini" sizes is truly appreciated, and I couldn't resist ordering the Mini Koori Mochi, which was recommended with red tea syrup (I opted for plain instead). It was a great choice, highly recommended. The mochi was also delicious, but just a regular sugar and soy sauce flavor. The tea, needless to say, was excellent. I don't want it to become too popular to avoid long lines, but I definitely want to visit this beloved restaurant again. Thank you for the wonderful meal. (2 teas, mochi, koori mochi, mini ice = ¥5200)

The atmosphere of the shop is fantastic! The teacups, syrup containers, and seating are all very stylish. It's convenient that they call you when your table is almost ready. The shaved ice is mostly light in flavor, so it may be more suitable for those looking to cool off rather than those looking for a hearty meal.

I felt like having a delicious shaved ice in Shinsaibashi, so I decided to go and try it out. It was a Sunday evening and the place was full, so I had to wait for a while. Eventually, a table opened up and I was able to sit down. Out of the 5 flavors available, 2 were sold out, so I ordered black honey, Japanese black tea, and white honey. The black honey came with red beans, while the others had milk added. The shaved ice had a generous amount, and the syrup was served separately. I enjoyed it while pouring the syrup. The ice itself was fluffy and tasty, but I quickly got tired of just the syrup and milk. They mentioned that you could ask for more syrup, but I was already feeling a bit bored. The air conditioning inside was too strong, so the ice wasn't melting quickly, which made it a bit tough to eat. Considering the price range, I thought they could have added more toppings or something to make it more interesting. Overall, I was not very satisfied and I don't think I'll be going back.

There were 2 groups waiting on this day. You will receive a call when your turn is near. It was helpful. After waiting for about 10 minutes, we were able to enter. As the 15:00 snack time approached, the number of waiting groups seemed to increase significantly. The menu includes a variety of Japanese drinks and Japanese sweets. The drinks are relatively expensive, but the quantity is large and very satisfying. Also, they are so delicious that the price is reasonable. The sweets are not too expensive and are reasonably priced. It was a cafe that I think people who have never been there should visit at least once. ▶️ Ice mountain (mini) - Topped with milk sweet potatoes - The mini size is just right.

It's really nice here. I feel joy in being able to enjoy tea. The exterior is a building, but the interior has a completely different feel - very chic. But the best part is the tea. It's amazing. You have to try it. If you don't drink it, you won't understand how delicious it is. If you have any questions, the staff will kindly answer them, so don't worry. I also tried the ice, and it was delicious. I want to visit this place again.

I wanted to eat shaved ice so I visited this place for the second time. It's always full, so it's better to make a reservation in advance. The interior is decorated with beautiful dishes and miscellaneous goods. The staff's customer service was great with lovely smiles. I had a small shaved ice (hojicha milk flavor) and matcha. The small size shaved ice was just right, and they will add more syrup if needed. It was delicious and made me happy. The matcha came with dried fruits, and the cute dishes made me happy. The matcha itself was a bit powdery and had some lumps at the end. I might come back for the shaved ice again.

Formerly located in Nishi-ku Shinmachi, the shop has been relocated for about 8 years now. Menu: Matcha, Kabuse Sencha Gokou, Wadomonaka Genmai, Tea set with 3 varieties. The interior has a warm and calming atmosphere where you can relax. I had matcha with kabuse sencha! The tea has a fragrant aroma that is soothing to drink and delicious. It's like drinking a rich broth! Even when you get a refill, the taste remains strong, allowing you to enjoy the gentle flavor. The dried fruits for chopstick rest were also nice. Thank you for the meal!

The atmosphere, staff, dishes, shaved ice with grilled mochi, everything was amazing at this restaurant! The summer, when shaved ice is popular, is relatively quiet around 5 pm on weekdays, making it easier to get in. The restaurant is located on the second floor of an accessory shop, and if there are no seats inside, they will call you when a spot opens up. Reservations cannot be made in advance, and even if there is no line, you may not be able to get in right away, so please be aware of that.

A relaxing cafe where time flows slowly. The interior is stylish and calm, and the staff are all lovely people. Each piece of tableware is unique and cute. The matcha latte I ordered had a fluffy foam with matcha, allowing me to enjoy the changes in my own preferences and richness. The monaka with dried strawberries has a strong acidity compared to fresh strawberries, but it goes well with tea. There are also various types of tea available, so I would like to visit again.

I liked it so much that I came back. Today, I had shaved ice with white honey, milk, and sweet potato. The white honey was not too sweet and delicious! I got caught in a heavy rain on my way to the cafe, but the shaved ice was so good that I forgot all about it. It was around 2:00 PM on a weekday, and there were already three groups waiting. There were also many foreign customers.

I'm looking for a café like this. They will call you when your order is ready, so it's not a problem to wander around Minami while waiting. I love the texture of Monaka with fruits and the faint smell that comes with it. But what I really can't resist is the ice ❤️ I'm not confident that I can finish a full portion of ice, but with a mini ice, it's just right and I can happily finish it. The mint tea available only in summer is perfect for hot weather. I would love to know more if there is a Japanese-style café like this. A wonderful space where you can enjoy various dishes and glasses. Have a great time when you go. ~ ~ ---------------------------------------- ~ ~ Instagram @wadcafe 4-9-3-2F Minamisenba, Chuo-ku, Osaka 12:00-19:00 About 8 minutes by subway Midosuji Line from Tennoji to Shinsaibashi, 240 yen 2.3 minutes walk from exit 11 of Shinsaibashi North Exit on the subway Seen in Osaka, Tennoji, Abeno area The bookmark for choosing a store is being sent Other posts are here ~ ▶ ︎ Instagram @hibi_turnalia If you are interested even a little, I would be happy if you follow and save it ❤️ ~ ~ ---------------------------------------- ~ ~

I had a large serving of shaved ice with sweet red bean paste and rice cakes! The tea that came with the shaved ice was very delicious! The syrup for the shaved ice was free for refills, so I got a second serving! I chose a combination of green tea, sweet potato, and milk flavors, and it was refreshing and tasty! The atmosphere of the shop was calm, and the staff were kind.

The weather has been getting hotter day by day, and with the consecutive summer days, just wandering outside makes you sweat a little. Since the weather was nice today, it made me even more sweaty. So, I decided to take a little break and eat some shaved ice at this shop. The shop seemed quite popular as it was full inside, and there was a waiting list of 6 groups displayed on the tablet device next to the register. Still, since I didn't have anything else to do afterwards, I decided to wait a bit and entered the shop according to the reservation completed on the device, about 50 minutes later. The interior of the shop had a calm atmosphere with minimal decorations, and it was quite a stylish space. I was seated at the counter, received the menu, and carefully looked at the shaved ice page. The menu was simpler than I expected, with 4 base flavors and the option to add toppings. I chose white honey as the base and asked for one topping. I ordered the "Large Ice" with the flavor of "white honey" and added milk. It wasn't the trendy, Instagrammable kind of shaved ice but rather the classic cone-shaped one where you pour the syrup yourself. The milk was condensed milk, just as I expected. I poured the syrup and milk over the ice, and started eating. Despite the appearance, the ice felt quite compacted when scooped with the wooden spoon. It wasn't a fluffy texture but the type that melts on your tongue, quickly cooling down your mouth. The menu mentioned "one cup of tea included for today," but it was not served until I had eaten quite a bit. The tea was roasted tea, but it didn't have a strong aroma. As I progressed in eating, towards the last third, the ice felt more solid, probably due to the compaction during shaping, resembling more like cracked ice than shaved ice. The overall impression was that the shop focused more on tea, with the shaved ice being more of a side menu, rather than the main attraction. It didn't feel like the kind of place you go with the sole purpose of eating shaved ice.

A cafe on the second floor with a gallery on the third floor. I came to see the gallery, but the cafe atmosphere was so nice that I decided to stop by. The tables are spaced out comfortably with gentle dividers like fabric. The menu includes some Chinese tea, but mainly Japanese tea, traditional Japanese sweets, and shaved ice. I had the Japanese black tea and the Wadomonaka (raspberry) flavor. The tea was served in a pot, and although it seemed a bit pricey at 1200 yen, they refill the hot water up to 3 times, making it perfect for relaxing. The Wadomonaka had a light sweet red bean paste with plenty of freeze-dried raspberries. The combination of the monaka and freeze-dried raspberries was delicious with a sweet and sour taste. I would like to come back and relax here again. Thank you for the meal! 【Station】3 minutes walk from Shinsaibashi Station 【Seating】Counter, tables available 【Visit Time】Around 5:00 pm on holidays 【Crowded】Almost full 【Food】Japanese black tea, Wadomonaka 【Price】1750 yen

I visited this place in Shinsaibashi with a friend who came from Tokyo. Wad Omotenashi Cafe is located at 4-9-3 Minamisenba, Chuo-ku, Osaka. The concept of the cafe is to enjoy Japanese tea and pottery, with a modern twist on the spirit of tea ceremony. They carefully brew each cup of tea in a calm and sophisticated atmosphere with antique furniture and concrete walls. It's a popular spot on Sundays, so we had to wait a bit, but it was worth it. We sat at the counter seats in the back, where we could watch them brew the tea. They had a variety of teas, but I chose the hot matcha latte. Since it was hot, I also tried their shaved ice with three types of syrup. I chose black syrup with gold sweet potato for the first and second servings. The cafe was lively, but I wanted a different experience, so I went with the matcha latte. They topped it with matcha syrup according to my preference, which was sweet and comforting. It came with dried fruits. The shaved ice was in a small size, but it was satisfying. The ice was more crunchy than fluffy, but the black syrup and red bean were delicious. Overall, I was very pleased with the experience. The building itself is stylish, with a jewelry shop on the first floor and a gallery on the third floor, both with a great sense of style.

I was taken here by a friend who lives in Osaka. We had to wait for an hour, but if you write your name down they will call you on your phone when your table is ready. While waiting, we checked out the accessory shop on the second floor and the art exhibit on the third floor. The cozy counter seats in the back are highly recommended. The way they prepare orders is very elegant and pleasant to watch. I ordered a matcha latte, where you pour the matcha in yourself. It had no bitterness, little sweetness, and a pure Uji matcha flavor. The cups and dishes were all lovely. My friend ordered a half-size shaved ice, which was also delicious. I would love to visit this cafe again for a relaxing time.

We went to Wad Omotenashi Cafe in Shinsaibashi, a Japanese cafe. Since there were two of us, we ordered shaved ice and summer-picked green tea to share. The shaved ice was a DIY style where you pour the syrup yourself. The syrup options seemed to have changed a bit since the past? I chose Uji honey. We also ordered condensed milk. It was delicious eating the fluffy ice while gradually pouring the syrup. The fluffy texture lasts as you add syrup little by little. Well, it inevitably becomes less fluffy towards the end (laughs). It was nice that you could get a refill of syrup. The shaved ice comes with tea, so you can cleanse your palate while eating. You can enjoy the green tea up to about 4 infusions. It's interesting how the taste changes. The dried fruits for tea snacks were delicious, so I asked if they were for sale, and they said they were from Tomizawa Shoten (laughs). We also enjoyed the atmosphere inside the cafe.

"Wad Omotenashi Cafe" is popular for its shaved ice, monaka, and grilled mochi. It is located a bit away from the bustling center of Shinsaibashi, providing a calm and relaxing atmosphere. I tried the Matcha Latte (¥1,000) made with Uji Hikari matcha base, steamed milk, kinako (soybean flour), and black honey with dried fruits on top. I also had the Mini Shaved Ice (¥650) with Uji syrup. The shaved ice normally costs ¥1,200 and comes with today's tea. The matcha latte had a strong matcha flavor without being too sweet, and both the latte and shaved ice were delicious. I would love to go back for shaved ice again in the summer!"
