パーラー淀屋橋
Osaka, Osaka
Tucked into the elegant banking and office district of Yodoyabashi in central Osaka, Parlor Yodoyabashi (パーラー淀屋橋) feels like a secret listening room for city commuters and vinyl lovers alike — a low-lit parlor where the soundtrack matters more than the chatter. Step inside and you'll find the hush of a true kissa: warm wood, small tables, a compact bar and an owner who treats records with a curator’s reverence, spinning thoughtful selections that drift from tucked-away jazz and soul to tasteful slices of Japanese city pop and modern instrumental pieces. It's the kind of place locals slip into after work to decompress; the crowd is respectful, the pours are measured, and the sound system is set up so each nuance carries without overpowering conversation. Close to Yodoyabashi Station and within easy reach of Nakanoshima’s riverside strolls, this intimate spot is worth seeking out whether you want a focused listening session, a mellow drink in good company, or a quiet, authentic taste of Osaka’s fervent music-cafe culture.
