After finishing work, I missed the last train unexpectedly. Since I have an early departure, I went to my usual place, Kaikatsu. Unfortunately, there were no private rooms available this time. The massage chairs were all occupied, so I relaxed on a flat seat until one became free. After taking a shower and lying down, a chair finally opened up in the early hours. However, I found the massage chair a bit difficult to use and the pressure was too light. I ended up falling asleep during one of the four available courses. I had to leave at 5 am, so I couldn't enjoy the free morning service. Kaikatsu CLUB Nagai Ekimae Branch 06-4700-7188 Osaka, Sumiyoshi-ku, Nagai Higashi 4-7-8 3F.

Title: "Osaka Trip with Seishun 18 Ticket in January 2021 Part 4: Morning Set for only 290 yen is cheap!" On the second day of the Osaka trip with Seishun 18 Ticket, I stopped by a Fast Food Club for breakfast on the way to the Natural History Museum in Nagai. I used a coupon from the app that gives you 100 points for an order over 100 yen. When I arrived at around 8:40 am, all the open seats were taken, so I opted for a reclining seat. I made a rookie mistake by asking the staff how long it would take for a seat to open up, similar to asking at a family restaurant. However, at Fast Food Club, there are no time restrictions, so no one knows when a seat will open up. I regained my composure and entered the restaurant. Free Morning Set! Rating: 10 out of 10! Drink Bar: 9 points The drink bar had almost everything you would expect. While there were no local or specialty drinks, the selection was of high quality for a net cafe. Soft Serve Ice Cream: 8 points Previously, the soft serve ice cream was not available during late-night hours, but now it can be enjoyed 24 hours a day at participating stores. The basic flavor is vanilla, but you can add chocolate or caramel syrup for a different taste. I even tried sprinkling instant soup granules on it for a salty twist, which was an interesting experience. French Fries: 7 points These fries were once featured as "divine fries" on a TV show, but when served during the free morning set, they tend to lose their crispiness. The flavor options were limited to salt, unlike the divine butter soy flavor. Toast: 3 points The toast made from cheap supermarket bread left in a low-quality toaster lacked texture and flavor. However, when used to make a "French fry sandwich," it was surprisingly delicious. Payment: The bill came to 290 yen, but with the app coupon, it was only 190 yen. With the membership points, it came down to around 186 yen. Using WAON for payment earned an additional point, bringing the total cost down to 185 yen. Afterward, I visited the Natural History Museum, where I spent nearly three hours leisurely exploring the exhibits. By the time I finished, it was already 1:00 pm. Next, I headed back to Tennoji and made my way to the Osaka City Museum of Fine Arts.

I had always admired the lively atmosphere of 1 Person Kaikatsu Club, and the location is unbeatable - you can see it from exit 5 of Nagai subway station (lol). I arrived around 8 am and chose an open seat. Luckily, there were good seats available! This place offers a free morning buffet from 6 am to 10:30 am, with toast and french fries available. It's self-serve, but the drink bar also has corn soup, and there's always soft-serve ice cream available... I loved it so much that I want to live here! I was so full (^｡^) I started by eating fries with ketchup, but then I tried them with caramel and chocolate sauce meant for the soft-serve ice cream, and it was delicious! A common trait of those with a sweet tooth (lol) I drank Sprite, Fanta Grape, and vegetable juice from the drink bar. I could keep going forever... Thank you for the feast! I got the 3-hour pack with a student discount, and it cost me 597 yen!

Open seating is available at about half the price of private rooms. There is apparently an all-you-can-eat buffet in the morning. The drink selection is minimal for this type of establishment. Soft serve ice cream is available, but please note that it is not served daily from 1 am to 5 am. The bill will automatically calculate based on the cheapest set at the time of payment, so you can rest assured.
