TRUCK FURNITURE
Asahi Ward, Osaka
Tucked into the quiet, residential streets of Asahi Ward (旭区) in Osaka (大阪), TRUCK FURNITURE feels like a local secret that melds industrial thrift with serious listening culture: reclaimed wood benches, metal accents that might once have lived on a lorry, and a compact bar where the owner curates records and pours coffee with equal care. By day it leans toward the classic kissaten mood—slow-drip coffee, warm light and a hush that invites you to read sleeves—then eases into low-key evenings of vinyl, intimate acoustic sets and DJ nights that favor deep-cut jazz, folk and old-city pop over background playlists. The crowd is neighborhood regulars and music-minded travelers who come for the attentive sound system and the sense that music is meant to be heard, not overheard; conversation is kept respectful so each record can breathe. If you want a genuine Osaka music café experience away from the tourist hubs, TRUCK FURNITURE is where you can sip something strong, flip through a thoughtfully assembled collection, and leave feeling like you’ve found a tiny, well-tuned corner of the city’s listening culture.
