Hybrid Coffee Ice - 620 yen The bitterness is mild, with a refreshing flavor that spreads. It was a smooth ice coffee without any sharp edges. YC Special Pudding - 400 yen A nostalgic homemade pudding with a strong egg taste. However, I would prefer if the egg flavor and caramel bitterness were a bit more pronounced. Overall Impression: I took a stroll through the bustling dining street of Shin Umeda after a long time. It's still as chaotic and lively as ever. I felt relieved. Such deep scenery is becoming rare nationwide, so I consider the Shin Umeda dining street itself as a tourist attraction with free admission. The cafe I entered in this tourist attraction also exudes a retro atmosphere from its exterior. The antique interior is also wonderful, making it a cafe that I personally love. It seems to have the dignity to sweep away trendy cafes, those popular with young women, or those with a high-minded attitude. I can feel that dignity from the atmosphere. The inside of the cafe was bustling, filled with people of all ages enjoying a leisurely evening. Depending on the time, there may be a wait. Of course, delicious food is important, but I have come to deeply appreciate the rare value of being able to immerse oneself in an atmosphere that reflects the flow of the times. It was a wonderful cafe that I hope will continue to thrive. Thank you for the meal!

I wanted to enjoy a Osaka morning set after a long time, so I searched for a place that serves a delicious omelette sandwich. I found a restaurant in Umeda dining district and managed to squeeze into a table despite it being almost full. When I looked at the thick menu, I found out that the omelette sandwich I wanted was only available from 10 am onwards. Shocked, I decided to go for the ham sandwich instead, as the burger was sold out. The restaurant was filled with cigarette smoke and had poor cellphone reception, making it an uncomfortable experience. In the end, it was my own fault for not checking the timing properly. I would rate it based on the limited availability until 10 am.

I went out for work early in the morning and had breakfast in Umeda. I visited a retro-looking restaurant in the new Umeda dining district. I had the daily set menu, which included ham pizza, salad with boiled egg, and a slice of orange. It was delicious. The restaurant allows smoking, so it might be a bit uncomfortable for those who are sensitive to smoke.

Before work, I had some free time so I visited a cafe that I had been wanting to try. The shop had a retro atmosphere that felt very nostalgic. For breakfast, I couldn't decide between toast and a sandwich, but I ended up ordering the sandwich. The filling of the sandwich was soft and chewy, and I felt like I could eat many of them. It was delicious.

Visited around 3:00 PM on Saturday. Luckily, there was one table available and I could sit down without waiting, but the place was always full. I used to always go for the pudding here, but this time I tried the Malibu cheesecake for the first time. It was similar to the cheesecake at Kanon-ya. The right amount of saltiness was delicious. Smoking is allowed in all seats. I don't smoke, so I would prefer it to be non-smoking, but for smokers, I think this is a valuable cafe. *Cash only. No parking available.

As far as I know, this is an old-fashioned coffee shop that has been around for about 25 years. To be clear, it's ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for smokers, but it can be quite smoky for non-smokers. I used to be a smoker, so I found it very convenient. The signal for smartphones is also poor and may not connect (depending on the seat?). The blended iced coffee is a good deal as it's equivalent to 1.5 cups. I recommend it for smokers. Payment is cash only.

The omelet sandwich is made with a single egg, fluffy yet firm enough to hold the filling. The thick egg is lightly seasoned with salt, and the toast is slightly crispy on the outside but moist inside, making it easy to eat without falling apart. The ketchup is not directly on the egg, but subtly infused into the bread, adding a nice touch to the overall flavor. Opening the coffee can with its black handle, the aroma of freshly ground coffee fills the air. The finely ground coffee beans from Yamamoto Coffee bring back nostalgic memories of working in a cafe. Note: In Kansai, iced coffee is commonly referred to as "Reiko."

I woke up at 5:30 am and enjoyed a set of Finnish sauna. I decided to head to Hiroshima but stopped by a retro cafe in Umeda station for breakfast. The cafe was almost full with regular customers and young people. I ordered a toast set with jam and a hot coffee. The coffee was delicious with a deep, rich flavor and a strong aroma. The toast was simple but satisfying. I wish I had more time to relax. It was a pleasant breakfast experience at the retro cafe.

I had been to this place a few times but never wrote about it, "New yc." It's located in the same "Shin-Umeda Food Street" as "Y.C.," and both are great. After a work trip to Kyoto, I took a detour here before heading to JR Osaka Station. It was already past 10 PM, so I could only order a drink, and I chose iced coffee. Just having coffee and cigarettes (happy that smoking is allowed) made me feel relaxed. The beautiful decor and interior design also added to the calming atmosphere. I really wanted to have their pudding, but it was too late. I'll share my experience of having their pudding in the past. The glass blocks on the walls are lovely, and I adore the elegant and heavy feel of this place. The coordinated color scheme for the ceiling, walls, and chairs creates a pleasant unity. The coffee utensils displayed in the showcase that also serves as a partition are exquisite. And here is the pudding. It's a simple and classic pudding without any excessive decoration or flashy presentation. It's priced at 420 yen, and I feel lucky to be able to enjoy this traditional and high-quality pudding. Both "New yc" and "Y.C." are wonderful coffee shops, and I consider them treasures in Osaka's Kita Ward. Amazing.

I visited a traditional Japanese-style cafe in Osaka Umeda for the first time! The cafe is located right in the middle of Umeda, and it has a classic atmosphere. I ordered an iced coffee, which had a strong and bitter taste typical of traditional cafes. It was delicious! Just a heads up, smoking is allowed in the entire cafe, so it may not be suitable for those who are sensitive to smoke.

yc is a nostalgic café loved by smokers in Umeda. The menu consists of nostalgic items that allow you to feel a sense of nostalgia. One highly recommended item is the coffee jelly. It has a strong coffee flavor and a jiggly texture that is enjoyable. For smokers, yc is a valuable place where they can relax and enjoy their time while smoking.

Yamamoto Coffee Shop in Shin-Umeda Food Street. There are two branches in Umeda, and they also have locations in Kyoto and Nara, dominating the major cities in the Kansai region. Surprisingly, I had never checked this place out before. Umeda area is quite something. This time, I got off the budget-friendly express bus and had to search quite a bit to find the place because it was at a different location from Hankyu Umeda. I have been to Osaka many times, but there is still a lot I don't know about the Umeda area. Finally, I arrived at this place on a Saturday at 7:30 in the morning, and there were many customers already there. Yamamoto Coffee Shop used to deliver coffee beans by bicycle and motorcycle to not only Osaka but also Kobe and Minami Awaji after the import of coffee beans was allowed post-war. They still focus on operating in the Kansai region without expanding to other areas. It's great that they have long opening hours, especially in Umeda. I came here for their breakfast menu, of course. They have a default and a daily special, and on this day, the menu was different, but the staff recommended the sandwich. So, I ordered that. It cost 650 yen. It's a shame that smoking is allowed inside, but there are many smoking-friendly places in Osaka. I think the aroma of coffee is important, and for some reason... oh well. The interior of the shop has a lot of antiques and a calm atmosphere. It's a great old-fashioned coffee shop! The coffee arrived quickly - it seemed to be a blend, probably Mandheling-based, with a balanced mix of acidity and bitterness, creating a rich flavor. Delicious. Soon after, the plate arrived - boiled egg, salad, and fruit, just like the default menu. The salad was mainly shredded cabbage with thinly sliced tomatoes and corn, dressed with a Japanese-style dressing. Despite its small size, you can tell they want customers to enjoy it. The fruit was kiwi, which was a nice touch. The sandwich was a mix of ham, tomato, and sunny lettuce. The tomato slices were incredibly thin, which was impressive. The boiled egg was hard-boiled. And the YC special pudding for 420 yen - served with whipped cream and a cherry. The presentation and taste were perfect for this place. A classic recipe with a rich flavor from the whipped cream. I would definitely like to visit again. Thank you for the meal!!

Delicious coffee. The coffee comes in a pot so you can have two cups. The egg sandwich is heavy and satisfying. I realized I prefer sandwiches with lots of mayonnaise. The pudding is light. Overall, it may be difficult for those sensitive to cigarette smoke as smoking is allowed in all seats.

It is a popular gourmet area in Osaka that is always bustling with people, from day drinkers to office workers to tourists. One of the hidden gems in this area is the "Y・C Umeda Store." The store has a retro vibe and a cozy atmosphere. Despite being under the elevated tracks, the store is surprisingly spacious and exudes a calm ambiance with antique decorations. The store is known for its coffee, with a wide variety of options available. I ordered the "Egg Sandwich," which was delicious with fluffy omelet and soft bread.

I got off at Hankyu Umeda Station in Osaka Prefecture and there is a shop right after getting off the escalator. It is located in the Shin Umeda Food Street. There are two YCs in Shin Umeda Food Street, and this shop is on the first floor. I visited alone around 8:30 on Saturday morning. I was told to sit wherever I liked, but only seats in the back were available. The entire place allows smoking, so it smells quite strongly of cigarettes. - Daily Set Menu: ¥650 It's a morning set. It includes pizza toast, salad, boiled egg, and coffee. It arrived in about 10 minutes. The toast was nicely crispy with plenty of cheese. It was delicious. The coffee was not too acidic. There was a good amount of food, more than I expected. Payment is cash only. Thank you for the meal! (⁠*⁠´⁠ω⁠｀⁠*⁠)

There is a line here since the morning. This time, I had the daily set of the morning service. The cheese toast with plenty of cheese is delicious. It also comes with salad and boiled egg, and it's reasonable! This shop allows smoking, so there is a slight smell of cigarettes. Thank you for the meal.

The restaurant was close to the hotel, so I visited after 5:30. There were only two options for breakfast: toast or the daily ham pizza. I wasn't in the mood for pizza in the morning, so I ordered toast. It's a smoking-friendly place, so there were many businessmen.

Located in the Shin Umeda Food Street, there are two shops in close proximity (one to the west and one to the east). YC and New YC. YC stands for Yamamoto Coffee Shop. I visited New YC. Unfortunately, both shops allow smoking. The menu is almost the same, but YC has cakes while New YC does not (according to the staff, although they were not sure). Homemade pudding for ¥420, with a subtle sweetness and a plump shape. YC Traditional Blend for ¥500, with a base of Mandheling that I found slightly acidic. An interesting point was the use of "fresh" in Osaka, which refers to cream. When the staff asked me, "Would you like fresh?" I was initially confused, but it turns out they were referring to cream for the coffee. With two shops nearby, I thought it would be better if one of them was non-smoking.

This is a coffee shop on the south side of Hankyu Umeda Station, located on the 1st floor of the New Umeda Food Street, exuding a retro Showa era atmosphere. The interior is adorned with retro lighting and furniture, creating a calm space. [YC Traditional Brand] - 500 yen It has an elegant taste with a rich flavor and a hint of acidity. [YC Special Pudding] - 420 yen Served in a silver dish that enhances its retro feel, the pudding is a firm type reminiscent of the old days, providing a satisfying texture. The slightly bitter caramel and moderately sweet cream complement the pudding well. While enjoying my coffee, a staff member silently took away my milk without saying anything, even though I was planning to add it later. I wished they had at least said a word before taking it. As smoking is allowed in all seats, the smell of cigarettes fills the air, so I do not recommend it for those who are sensitive to cigarette smoke. Thank you for the meal.

The classic interior has a retro vibe and a lot of charm, but it allows smoking throughout, so it's smoky. I ordered a set of a pork cutlet sandwich and a drink. The coffee came in a fancy pot, like something you'd see in a classic hotel. It was enough for two cups. However, the pork cutlet sandwich took a while to arrive, and by the time it did, I had finished my coffee. The breading on the pork cutlet was a bit burnt. It seemed like they took their time frying it. Despite that, the coffee was delicious, and I believe the pork cutlet sandwich would have been tasty if it wasn't burnt.

Located at the escalator on the 3rd floor of Hankyu Umeda Station, "New YC" is a longstanding cafe operated by Yamamoto Coffee. Their famous menu item, the "Omelette Sandwich," is not sweet but has a gentle flavor and is very filling. The coffee is great too, but it might not be suitable for those who dislike cigarette smoke.
