Terminal's Shin-Osaka] Which way do you want to go for a drink today, Juso or Nishinakajima?

When you hear the phrase "living in the Shin-Osaka area," what kind of lifestyle comes to mind? Some may have a strong image of a business district and wonder, "It's convenient for commuting, but how is it for living?" Some may wonder, "It's convenient for commuting, but what about living in the Shin-Osaka area?

In fact, there is an attractive drinking district within walking distance from the property. Juso (Juso) is lined with old-fashioned izakaya (Japanese style pubs), and Nishinakajima Minamikata has a number of modern restaurants such as craft beer and stand bars that are opening one after another.

While a leisurely drink in the lounge of a property is fine, there must be days when you just want to wander outside. In search of the perfect "neighborhood drink" for such nights, sales members Taguchi, Kido, and Kuroda went out for a night of drinking!

Juso and Nishinakajima, two drinking districts within walking distance!

Terminal's Shin-Osaka is a 14-minute walk from Juso Station and a 9-minute walk from Nishinakajima-Minamikata Station.
In fact, Terminals Shin-Osaka is the perfect area to go drinking. This time, we visited three restaurants in Juso and Nishinakajima-Minamikata.

Wandering around the Juso area

The Juso area, which retains a strong downtown Osaka atmosphere, is lined with izakaya (Japanese style pubs) and stand-up drinking establishments around the station. The charm of this area is that it has a nostalgic, relaxed atmosphere. Recently, the number of clean stores that are easy for even women to enter has been increasing, and the area is changing into a town with a traditional human touch that fits in well with today's lifestyle. This is the perfect place for those who want to enjoy a relaxing evening. About 14 minutes from Terminals Shin-Osaka. It is a little far, but just the right distance to cool down.

📍Yamadaya

The first place we visited to get a taste of Juso's nightlife was Yamadaya. The restaurant's calm appearance made me want to stop by, and as I passed through the curtain, I was enveloped by the aroma of dashi broth. This oden restaurant is perfect for the first cup of sake.

First, a toast! Beer, highball, rumune sour...we each ordered our favorite drink. The cold drinks soak into your body as the hot day continues. The table is suddenly lively after ordering the famous oden and assorted sashimi. Oden is served on a "draft system," with customers taking turns picking the ingredients they want to eat. Daikon radish, thick fried bean curd, and hanpen were especially popular.

Taguchi commented:
"I used to frequent this restaurant when I was a student. The atmosphere and taste haven't changed, and I still feel at home. It's strange that I visit it now with my work colleagues, but it's my personal favorite because I can relax no matter who I come with!

After the first drink, we are discussing the next restaurant. The streets of Juso are lined with stores of various genres and atmospheres, including stand-up bars, yakitori bars, and Western-style bars. Just walking around the streets of Juso is enough to make you feel like you're dizzy with choices, and you may find yourself asking, "Where should I go? I might be interested in this place! I might be interested in this place! One of the joys of this town is that you can just wander around and decide what to do next based on your mood.

📍Stand Tony

After warming up, we changed the atmosphere a bit and went to Stand Tony. This is the perfect place for your second stop. Obanzai, sake, and a lively atmosphere. Regulars and first-timers alike can enjoy a natural conversational atmosphere.

Taguchi commented:
"A personal highlight was the tension of our cameraman Watanabe, a Hanshin fan, who was maxed out while watching a live baseball game (laugh).
There was also the store's original sake, "Tora Ball," but it was sold out this time.... I hope to get my revenge next time! "

Next, we went to Nishinakajima Minamikata.

Nishinakajima Minamikata has a strong image as a business district, but in the past few years, stylish restaurants have been opening one after another. Craft beer, neo izakayas, stand-up bars, and other "modern" eateries have gathered here, making it a perfect place to stop by on your way home from work or on your days off. It has evolved into a town where you can stop by on your way home from work or on your days off. The appeal of this town is its balance of urbanism and openness, but also a sense of calm.

Noodles for All 📍 Noodles for All 📍 Craft Beer Specialty Restaurant

The third restaurant we visited was Humankind's Noodles, which specializes in craft beer. It is a rather unexpected craft beer store by a famous ramen brand. The attraction here is that you can pour yourself as much beer as you like. You can compare a few tastes, so it is fun to find the one you like best. Combined with the stylish space, it was a spot to get excited even on the third visit.

Taguchi's comment:
"It was fun to choose while everyone was talking "Which one?" and it was fun to choose as we talked, and before we knew it, we had several glasses empty (laughs). The staff is friendly and helpful, and even first-timers can enjoy themselves at ease. I think the residents will naturally become closer when they visit with other residents! "

If you come with other tenants, you can naturally have a conversation while talking about beer, and it will bring you closer together.

This time, we visited "neighborhood drinking spots" where you can drop by on foot or by bicycle from the property.

Not only is it conveniently located near a station, but it is also luxurious to be able to "stop by for a while" depending on your mood. After work, meet up with your friends and have a drink around the station. It would be fun to have a drink at the property's lounge at the end of the day. Having such options in your daily life makes your life much more enjoyable, doesn't it?

There are many more attractions in the area around Terminals Shin-Osaka that we can't fully introduce. The next installment will feature a tour of public bathhouses. Why don't you find a little fun on your way home from work or to reset yourself on your days off?
