Osaka Gourmet｜Autumn Lunch Experience at Nanoan, a Century-Old Residence in the City Center

Guide
Just 4 stops from the bustling Shinsaibashi, Tennoji hides a time-traveling café space—having lunch in a century-old residence, with fallen leaves drifting through wooden lattice windows, it’s like stepping into a Japanese drama scene!

Transportation & Reservation Tips

🚇 Get off at Tennoji Station on the Midosuji Line (search the address on Google Maps for exact exit)
⏰ Lunch hours 11:30-14:00 (closed after 14:00, recommended to arrive before 13:00)
💺 Window seats require advance reservation; on weekdays, walk-ins might get regular seats

Dining Experience

🥢 1200 yen vegetarian set meal (P3): pickled umeboshi, miso soup, seasonal vegetable tempura, served with brown rice, light yet full of seasonal flavor. Highly recommend the grilled tofu—crispy outside, soft inside, a delightful surprise!
🥩 3000 yen meat set: reportedly includes Wagyu sukiyaki or teriyaki eel, perfect for meat lovers (menu has no English, pointing at pictures is easier)

Atmosphere Charm

• A Japanese-style space renovated from an old house, with wooden beams, paper sliding doors, and a dry garden, full of traces of time
• Afternoon sunlight streams through the lattice windows onto the tatami mats, paired with a cup of roasted tea, creating a perfect ambiance
• Weekends are mostly local family gatherings; weekday lunches are relatively quiet
