Osaka (JP)

@jdwaid no negativity or issues thus far! I have definitely been practicing my Japanese and trying to interject some more advanced phrases when possible, people have shown noticeable excitement and appreciation towards the effort. We have also had some lovely conversations in English with our bartenders! I was telling my wife that’s one profession where you pick up English because of the fact that 99% of spirits and classic cocktails use the Latin Script.

Had to drop by the IH Osaka store since I was in the Kansai region. Haven’t seen Kenta-san in awhile.

@louisbosco awesome! And that lighter is rad too. Love the brass. Looks like a blast.
-
@Oaktavia yeah man. The solid brass on that is insane. There’s some hefty weight to it. I said to Kenta, that he should ask Haraki to re-make it. It’ll definitely sell!!

I will be in Osaka in April. Any tips for music bars / venues, cool neighbourhoods, veggie friendly restaurants and clothing shops appreciated.

We often use https://www.pocket-concierge.jp/en to find and book restaurants.
Look for Shojin Ryori, it's the Buddhist Cuisine of Japan which is vegeterian.
The Samurai HQ is in Osaka. -
Thanks @louisbosco - was first on the list
Great tips @Chap, thanks! I will be sure to find some shojin ryori.

not much I can offer on veggies as I don't eat them but if you do eat sushi and sashimi, do reach out.. otherwise the usual spots in Osaka revolves around Shinsaibashi and dotonburi. kuromon market is worth having a look. otherwise look up orange street for all your fashion stuff..

Awesome - thanks for the tips @louisbosco!
