The timing was bad. Well, it was smoky. A cozy café with about 15 seats. Smoking is allowed, so it can get smoky if heavy smokers are around. It's a place I would recommend to my smoker friends, but it was tough for me. However, it had an old-fashioned yet clean atmosphere, and the iced coffee I had was quite delicious. I relaxed while watching TV. If it weren't for the smoke, I would really enjoy this retro café. They also serve nostalgic milkshakes, curry, and beer. It feels like stepping back in time to the Showa era. The staff were very friendly too. The Wi-Fi (SoftBank) connection was also good, which was convenient.

This place has been around for a long time. I've been here several times to have coffee since it's near my hometown, but I've never had a meal here. One day, I passed by and saw the menu on the blackboard, so I decided to go inside for lunch. I was craving curry rice from a cafe, and this was the day for it. The interior had four tables in the front and four counter seats in the back, with a TV installed. A lady, who I assume is the owner, was taking care of the customers. The only food options were curry and sandwiches. I ordered the curry rice for 700 yen and an iced coffee for 400 yen. It seemed like they didn't offer a set menu. It took a bit of time for the food to come out, but first, a salad was served. The curry that arrived later was a large portion, with the rice and curry sauce not separated. The curry had both beef and chicken in it, and it was rich and not very sweet. It was a hearty curry. Itadakimasu.

I went to Osaka for one night and two days for gourmet and photography purposes. Initially, the sky was completely blue, which I thought was perfect for photography. However, by the time I finished the cafe after the ramen shop, thin clouds had started to spread across the sky. I had to shift my focus from "photography" to "gourmet" and decided to prioritize the latter. Although I had just entered a cafe, I felt like taking a break at a coffee shop or cafe. I was not in the mood for heavy meals after finishing a bowl of ramen without leaving a single bite. I thought about exploring the back alleys to find old-fashioned coffee shops. Just then, I stumbled upon a quaint shop in a corner of an old building, which turned out to be "Shemowa" cafe. The cafe had a vintage charm, and I decided to go in and take a break. The atmosphere inside was cozy and nostalgic, with an elderly lady and a master in the kitchen managing the place. I ordered an iced cafe au lait without ice and enjoyed the ambiance of the cafe. The menu board had a vintage look, adding to the charm of the place. When the cafe au lait arrived, I was surprised to see whipped cream generously topping the drink. It felt like a coffee parfait! I savored the rich and creamy whipped cream before enjoying the coffee. The coffee was delicious, with a perfect balance of sweetness, milkiness, and coffee aroma. The unexpected treat made me happy, and I savored every sip in the cozy and timeless atmosphere of the cafe.

I'm in the middle of exploring fashionable standing bars in Namba, but actually, I've been standing all day since the morning due to lessons. As expected, I started to feel like sitting down, even for a drink. Shemore and Hidezou standing bars are located about a 3-5 minute walk away. Right in front of a live house. On the day I went, there was a long line in front of the live house. Shemore seems to be a coffee specialty shop. The nostalgic atmosphere inside the shop makes time flow leisurely. There were about four 4-seater tables. Many solo customers, indulging in the luxury of using a 4-seater table alone. Everyone seems quite relaxed, reading magazines and such. The staff is an elderly woman in the hall, and a man doing the cooking. Are they a mother and son? The elderly woman reminds me of my own grandmother, giving off a comforting feeling like visiting grandma's house for tea. By the way, are you a coffee person or a tea person? I prefer coffee. I like the nice aroma of mocha coffee ♥️ I have a café au lait every morning. Since it's a coffee specialty shop, let's have some coffee♪ ☆ Café au lait (450 yen) Huh? Vienna coffee? It's the first time I've seen cream on a café au lait. On the contrary, I'm curious about what the Vienna coffee at this shop is like... The coffee was delicious, not too sweet (´▽｀) While leisurely enjoying the delicious coffee, suddenly, a male customer sitting in front of me went to the restroom. When he came out of the restroom, he was wearing a sailor uniform (oﾟ▽ﾟ) I was speechless. He even had a fan and a headband... and it said "Shisekkyu Live" on it. Let's look up Shisekkyu. Shisekkyu is a Japanese comic band. Their catchphrase is "Japan's most tear-jerking comic band." Based in Tokushima Prefecture, they are planning to hold a live tour called "Shisekkyu Junior High School Tour" with the title "Shisekkyu Junior High School Sports Day". There's a designated dress code, and this time it seems to be a tracksuit. I see, today was a specified uniform day, so fans were wearing sailor uniforms to participate. I'm glad I looked it up. Without knowing the circumstances, you might think he's a bit strange. The staff grandma was smiling and handling the surprising transformation with a smile, almost making me want to hug her like a grandma. The only disappointing thing was that smoking was allowed. It was quite tough with a solo customer smoking. The coffee and service were good, so I would like to visit this place again when I go to Namba next time. Thank you for the meal~ ♥️

Shemoa-san is a retro-style cafe with a Showa era vibe, and the logo or rather the name of the cafe is cute. I had an iced coffee and it was delicious. The coffee was great, and the toast set menu illustration is adorable and gives off a warm feeling.

Before going to Sushigin, I always take some time to adjust. Today, I chose an iced cocoa because I was tired from walking. Sometimes I encounter comedians from Yoshimoto.

Anger (Ikari) read backwards becomes understanding (Rikai). These are the words of Taketaka Isao, a former Yoshimoto Kogyo producer. Many press conferences have been criticized and spiraled out of control. This is because they are apologizing at the wrong point. Only when the victim's anger is calmed and the perpetrator's feelings of reflection are understood can an apology be considered successful. Today, I visited Cafe de CHEZ MOI, located on the 1st floor of a mixed-use building near the Misono Building (1-22 Namba, Chuo-ku, Osaka). It was raining in the morning, but by noon it had turned into a light rain, so I decided to go to Namba. - Curry Rice (700 yen) It has an old-fashioned coffee shop atmosphere, but the sign says it's a curry restaurant, so I wanted to try it once. Oh, this is wonderful. Unlike the usual commercial curry, it has large pieces of chicken and onions. The chicken pieces are so big that you can't finish them in one bite, but they are tender and easy to eat. The curry has a rich and mellow taste. It also comes with a small salad, so I was very satisfied. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. The staff were friendly and had a motherly vibe. I walked the path diligently, sneaking away without regret.

This is a cafe located about 50 meters west of the "Nihonbashi 2" intersection on Sakaisuji Street, on the south side. The name "chez moi" may mean "at my house" in French. The interior has 4 counter seats, 3 tables for 4 people, and 1 table for 2 people. They play classical music, like Bizet's "L'Arlesienne," creating a nostalgic atmosphere. Smoking is allowed, and they provide ashtrays at the tables. The cafe is run by an elderly lady and a man who seems to be her son. I ordered a hot coffee for 350 yen, which was brewed using a drip method. The coffee was well-blended, with a rich flavor and a surprisingly refreshing aftertaste. The service is reminiscent of Showa-era hospitality, with the lady bringing newspapers and magazines to the table. It's a nostalgic space that evokes a small cafe from the good old days of Showa era, where you can relax and enjoy your own time. The price of 350 yen for a cup of coffee in this setting is quite cheap. (Translated by AI)
