Let's take a little break in Shinsaibashi. While most people would go to a stylish cafe, there was a place I've always wanted to visit. It's located a bit north from Triangle Park in America-mura, on the 5th floor of a suspicious building next to Osho. You take the elevator up. What an elevator. It's covered in graffiti, like the New York subway from two decades ago, or even more densely. When you get off the elevator, you'll find Anamune. Anamune is a hospital cafe. Anamune means medical history in Japanese. The tables are made of metal, like the ones used in outpatient clinics. There's a girl in a camisole running the place alone. Everywhere you look, there are hospital-like items. It's creepy, with a bisque doll straddling a kidney next to a coffin. There's a coffin next to it with "Anamune" written on it. Is this girl the mascot of the shop? There are eye charts and a Schiotz tonometer. There are also anatomical dolls. These used to scare me a lot in science class. There's even a prosthetic leg. I order an iced coffee for 500 yen. It arrives in a beaker. It's been a while since I touched a beaker, probably since elementary school science class. I prefer places like this over stylish cafes.

X-ray and human body models are placed, making the atmosphere eerie and unique at the same time at the "Hospital Cafe" called Anamune in Shinsaibashi. The concept of this cafe is a "hospital," so I was curious about what kind of atmosphere it would have. Recently, I had the opportunity to visit Shinsaibashi, so I mustered up the courage to go in alone! It's about a 5-minute walk from Shinsaibashi Station. The cafe is located in a mixed-use building in the youthful district of America-mura. The building has a unique atmosphere, making it a bit intimidating. The hospital cafe I was looking for is in room 501. The walls are adorned with illustrations of the heart, intestines, and more, giving off a horror-like vibe even before entering. The interior is like a waiting room in a hospital, surprising with its eerie ambiance. The walls, decorations, and even the furniture all exude a spooky feeling. There are also creepy dolls, beakers, and medical instruments displayed on shelves. The medical equipment being placed like this makes it even scarier. There was even a model of just a "hand" that seemed like it could come to life at night, truly terrifying. Stuffed animals and various eerie decorations are plentiful. Despite the spooky atmosphere, the staff and customers seem normal. Artwork and accessories are displayed near the entrance, available for purchase on the spot. Additionally, if you pass the store's screening, anyone can exhibit their work here. The menu, while I expected items related to a "hospital," mainly consists of normal sweets and meal options like curry and hamburgers. I thought there might be eyeball-shaped dishes or bizarre items, but I was relieved to see the standard offerings. I ordered the French toast set, which came with a cafe latte. The drink was served in a stylish and cute cup, not the beakers I expected. The French toast arrived with a bat-shaped cookie on top, adding a slightly eerie touch. The taste was safe and delicious. The "Hospital Cafe" Anamune is a cafe with a concept like no other that I have experienced before. I encourage everyone to muster up the courage and "visit" this unique cafe!

The atmosphere of the restaurant with balloons, IV drips, and XP gives off a hospital vibe, but the food was just average.

When I visited after a long time, I found that there were only new staff members and the taste was a bit questionable. The quiet atmosphere remained the same, but the interior seemed to have become a bit cluttered.

Hospital Cafe =========== The hospital cafe is a cozy spot to grab a bite to eat. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is relaxing. I highly recommend stopping by for a quick meal.

I visited a hospital cafe with a friend who came to play from out of town. Although I live in Osaka, I had never heard of a hospital cafe before, so I was full of question marks in my head. The cafe is located in Amerikamura. Amerikamura feels somewhat out of place to me, and it's not a place where I, as a middle-aged woman, feel comfortable. We took the graffiti and sticker-decorated elevator to the 5th floor. As we approached the half-open door at the entrance, I hesitated whether to go in or not. But I gathered my courage and entered! The first thing I saw was a cluttered kitchen, which made me even more anxious. However, once I stepped inside, it wasn't as bad as I had imagined, so I felt relieved. Oh! The tables are not really tables. I can't explain it well, but they are stainless steel platforms. Based on the information from my friend, I was looking forward to the drinks being served in beakers, so I ordered a lassi. And indeed, it came in a beaker! It looked cute. However, the lassi had a color I had never seen before, with a mysterious blue topping... I hesitantly took a sip, but it was delicious. The topping seemed to be sugar candy or rock candy-like substance. The interior of the cafe had various items on display, making it fun to look around. There were all sorts of things hanging from the ceiling. The staff were friendly and full of personality. I don't dislike this atmosphere, but it's not a cafe where I can relax, so it may not be ideal for a leisurely time. The tables and chairs were placed closely together, but it wouldn't feel cramped as long as it's not fully occupied. This time we only had drinks, so next time I would like to try their lunch or cake.

This is a fantastic subculture underground shop with a great atmosphere. Sometimes they also have exhibitions. The hospital-like interior, all in white, gives off a cool feeling, making it feel even more like a surreal space. Drinks are served in beakers! There is a variety of drinks, mostly on the sweet side. Perfect for those with a sweet tooth! The food is surprisingly traditional, with sandwiches and loco moco that I tried being delicious! Also, I love the cute outfits worn by the staff (*^◯^*)

I might visit during a break, but it's not so convenient for budget-conscious housewives like me (I'd rather go to Aoyama Coffee if the price is the same). If I have acquaintances exhibiting here, I might come for a visit. The lunch might still be a good deal. I had the flavored milk for 600 yen. It tastes delicious, but the clientele might be more niche.

It was located inside a building in Amerikamura. I was curious about the food since it was called a hospital cafe, but the dishes were quite ordinary! It was delicious though. I had the hand-made hamburger, which was just the right amount and I finished it quickly. It came with a drink and dessert for just over 1,000 yen. It's cheap!

June 2016. It was a typical rainy day in the afternoon. On such days, I decided to visit Ame-mura (Rain Village). The elevator showcased impressive graffiti on the stairs and an abnormal subculture area. The chaos level was overwhelming. Even if you think it's dangerous, once you step into the terrifying elevator, there's no turning back. Let's head to Anamune-san. There are no female doctors, but the incredibly friendly and humble nurse staff will escort you. The chaotic space lacks the usual medical guidance, so immerse yourself in the world view here. This place also doubles as a gallery, offering a variety of chaos every time you visit. You can choose your favorite seat without any forced guidance, which is quite good. While the stainless steel cold table is nice, sitting near Johnny with his cast is a unique experience. Here, you can enjoy meals that are quite high in stamina and salt content, far from typical hospital food. I chose the Green Curry over the food set. The Green Curry had a thick consistency with boiled vegetables and tender chicken. The bread was moist and soft with a hint of butter flavor. The soup was a vegetable consomme with plenty of onions and watercress, flavored with black pepper. I enjoyed my meal in a trance-like state, as the nurses were doing laundry on the balcony of the apartment. They were prompt with water refills, serving it in test tubes. Later, a young couple arrived, and we exchanged nods. Perhaps I should read the "Complete Disappearance Manual" now? In May 2014, on the fifth floor of a mixed-use building in Minami. There was a cafe themed after a hospital, with a unique and extravagant atmosphere. I visited during lunchtime, and the graffiti-covered building itself had a deep and intimidating aura, making it quite challenging to enter. I nervously entered the door, and was greeted by a showcase with chocolate cakes in beakers. There were stylish mannequins with flowers on their heads, test tubes, crutches, and kimonos hanging everywhere, creating a mysterious space. The tables resembled surgical tables, and the green floor added to the hospital-like ambiance. The menu was quite extensive, offering curries, taco rice, and desserts, all homemade. I ordered an Americano and opted for a dark roast. The coffee had a strong and nutty flavor, which I found delicious. Sugar was served in a medicine bottle resembling a vial. Enjoying coffee under the corset-themed lighting was quite a rare experience. There were grotesque models that couldn't be captured in photos, making me glad I didn't visit at night. The cafe was very quiet, with spiritual music playing in the background. It was a hidden gem where you could escape the hustle and bustle. The atmosphere was very cozy, and the cute, young staff members were very friendly and approachable. They also mentioned that the cafe now doubles as a gallery, showcasing kimonos and other items. The mannequin had a name, Johnny, and there was a sense of thoroughness in the decor that I admired. It was a unique adventure to step into a medical-themed space. There were various medical items on display, but I couldn't find a stethoscope. Perhaps this place is more focused on surgery? Take care of yourself, and stay safe.

Medical history-themed cafe, Anamne. Located in America-mura. I visited after a long time. The graffiti on the first floor of this building saying "Is this okay?" had been erased. The graffiti on the elevator was still there. The familiar owner (referred to as Pink-san by the staff) was not present. They had gone home in the evening. I sipped on a cafe latte in a beaker while reading in this peculiar space, which may seem strange to others. The clientele of this cafe is unique, but each person is tolerant of others, allowing for a relaxing time spent there. When I forget my book, there is a bookstore on the second floor of a nearby pachinko parlor with a unique selection, which is quite enjoyable. It was at this cafe that I discovered the works of Shion Miura. Nearby, there are retro-style Osaka Ohsho, Minmin, and Kappa Ramen, which are convenient when I feel like eating gyoza for some reason. Unfortunately, the nearby Ootoya has closed down. It was a nice place. I don't usually post reviews, but I also frequent chain restaurants. They were delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I asked my friend and went to this small and cozy café. It felt like a hidden room in a mansion with chairs and tables similar to those in a hospital. The menu offers curry and other dishes, and you can choose between bread or rice. I mistakenly assumed that rice was included because the menu photos showed curry with rice. However, upon closer inspection, it was just curry. A brief description would have been helpful. Nevertheless, the prices are very reasonable, and the chai in a beaker was sweet and delicious! I love themed cafes, so I definitely want to go back again! 😊

In September 2014, I went to a cafe in Osaka that a friend recommended. The location was a bit hard to find, and it was on the upper floor which made it a bit difficult to enter. Once inside, the atmosphere was not like a hospital waiting room, but it had a unique vibe. They had various exhibitions, including the cafe's original medical-themed accessories and artist's slightly grotesque art dolls and objects. The seating area had comfortable sofas, but it felt a bit cramped due to the mismatch between the size of the shop and the number of seats. The drinks were served in beakers, adding to the atmosphere. We ordered a cake set, and the cheesecake was decorated with powdered sugar in the shape of medical-themed designs. The taste was average. The restroom door handle was shaped like a gynecological instrument, which was a bit unsettling. The staff were very enthusiastic and engaged with customers on Twitter. Overall, the experience was enjoyable, and my friend, who is a nurse, found the medical-themed decor amusing. The cafe is not ideal for relaxing due to its small size, but it is a unique and interesting place to visit.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle of Shinsaibashi, it is a quiet and calming space. You can order the same set menu for dinner as you can for lunch, making it a great option when you're tired from shopping or missed lunch. It's a cafe with a good atmosphere that doesn't feel artificial. The food is delicious, and the desserts are also great. You can also choose from non-alcoholic cocktails for drinks, which is very enjoyable.

It's a hospital cafe, Anamne-san. I never expected to find such a place here. The elevator covered in graffiti might be a bit scary for those not used to Amerikamura, but I decided to take a chance after reading a review praising the delicious green curry. As I stepped out of the elevator, I found the cafe. The interior looked like a regular cafe with a few quirky items here and there. But upon closer inspection, I noticed some slightly creepy knick-knacks too. The cafe was small, run by a cute girl who seemed to be managing everything on her own. The items and decorations, most of which were the owner's personal collection, added to the unique atmosphere. The food was served on hospital trays, and I ordered the green curry set for 1000 yen. The set included a salad, a drink, and a choice of soup or a small dessert. The green curry was delicious and packed with ingredients, although the plate looked a bit unbalanced. The post-meal drink was generous in portion, and the dessert I chose from the display case, a brownie, was also tasty. The cafe had a peculiar charm, with quirky decorations like an electric stand and a corset. Even the restroom had a unique vibe, with X-ray images and eye charts available. The cute cafe owner seemed to have a fascination with the hospital world, which was intriguing. Despite the oddities, the delicious food and the charming owner make this cafe worth recommending.

We have visited many cafes, but in terms of a unique space, there may be no other place like this one. A cafe themed after a hospital, located on the 5th floor of a building in America-mura. As you ride the small elevator up, you are greeted with a strange smell and atmosphere. Illustrations of the human body and brain immediately catch your eye. For a moment, we almost turned back, but we gathered our courage and continued on. The feeling is like a test of courage... (laughs) Upon entering the store, we were welcomed by a friendly young female owner and "Johnny," a human body model (laughs). Despite feeling a bit reassured, everything around us was strange. X-ray photos, lighting resembling a corset, surgical scissors and tools hanging from the ceiling... There are sofa seats, but the tables are medical equipment. Looking at the books, there are medical supply catalogs and anatomy... On the shelves where alcohol is usually placed, there are slime-made organs and laboratory instruments. The white-painted walls and green floor. It took a while for our excited bodies to calm down, but as we got used to it, the space strangely became calming. The excitement turned into curiosity, and we found ourselves looking at various things. We thought the owner had worked in the medical field, but it turns out this is just a hobby. Their hobby led them to open this cafe. We ordered... Chai - 600 yen Americano - 500 yen The chai was delicious! It was nice that they poured generously. I was worried it would come in a beaker or something, but it was served in a normal cup. The unique aroma may be divisive, but personally, I liked the taste. They asked about our preference for the strength of Americano, and since we like it strong, it was probably not an Americano. With this cup, foam, and atmosphere, it felt more like taking medicine than drinking coffee (laughs). Oh, it was fun. Exciting and thrilling! A space filled with the owner's preferences. I wish I could have heard more about their story. Next time you go to the Tiger store for Nordic goods, why not take a break in this unique space...

The food and prices were decent, although the interior of the restaurant was not as impressive as expected. The service was slow, but it's a unique place worth visiting at least once for a fun experience.
