Namiyoshian Main Store

About a 10-minute walk from Namba Station, ""Namiyoshian"" is a long-established 164-year-old shop that was born at the foot of Namiyoshi Bridge in the west of Dotonbori, where you can enjoy Japanese sweets that fuse tradition and innovation. At the adjoining cafe, you can enjoy freshly made Japanese sweets made with carefully selected ingredients and manufacturing methods!

Namiyoshian's most popular menu is the broiled mitarashi. The dango grilled with the powerful infrared rays of charcoal has a chewy texture that cannot be experienced anywhere else. When combined with kombu dashi from Hokkaido and tamari soy sauce from Wakayama, the fragrant and hot dumplings are exquisite!

You can look out over the Japanese garden while listening to gently flowing jazz inside the shop. The beams that were actually used in the old mansion are reused, and antiques and vintage items from Japan and abroad are incorporated into the interior.

In addition, there are many Japanese sweets that will be appreciated as souvenirs. When you visit Namba, please enjoy a sweet and luxurious time at the Namiyoshian cafe.
Don't forget to make a reservation online to use the cafe!
