Just a 3-minute walk from Namba Station is the photogenic spot "AKICHI NAMBA," a place buzzing with Instagram fame. Right across from the "Sakimoto," a specialty store known for its premium bread, within its premises, you'll find "Sakimoto Coffee Roastery."
Inside the establishment, there's an impressive large roasting machine. The warm, woody interior exudes a chic ambiance.

Sakimoto's original blend offers a perfect balance of fruity acidity and a refreshing taste, making for a delightful latte.
Directly connected to Namba Station, "Artbar Osaka" on the 17th floor of Namba Skyo is a Paint & Sip studio where you can experience various forms of art while enjoying wine. It's a moment to detach from the everyday and refine your senses.
Paint & Sip is a novel activity originating from New York where you drink while painting. At Artbar Osaka, sessions vary daily, offering a rich variety of art experiences. The instructors are active artists, ensuring even those who aren't confident in their painting abilities can participate comfortably.
Opening the door at the back of the office floor reveals a space resembling an artist's studio. Colorful art adorns the walls, and the floor and tables are splattered with paint. Alongside the tables, there's an all-you-can-drink selection of wine, soft drinks, and snacks.
▽ Alcohol Ink Art Night Session
On the day of your visit, the session features "Alcohol Ink Art." It involves dripping alcohol ink onto ethanol and creating art using a dryer. The way the alcohol ink blends and spreads is mesmerizing, making you lose track of time.
Each person has their own style of using colors and spreading ink, resulting in unique finished pieces. You'll undoubtedly develop an attachment to your one-of-a-kind artwork!
After completing the art, it's time for photography. Capturing moments in the space where lantern lights flicker against the backdrop of Namba's night view is a unique pleasure of the night session.
Enjoy a creative moment with art at "Artbar Osaka." You don't need to bring any art supplies or aprons – just yourself is enough. It's recommended to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.
A must for those who like craft beer.
The charms of craft beer lies in its individual style concept.
