Salon de Amanto

Part experimental art space and part cafe, Salon de Amanto is a refurbished century old house turned artist’s canvas. The manager, a local artist in residence, changes often so that the cafe can create a new and unique feel. Located in Nakazakicho, Osaka’s neighborhood that time forgot, Amanto creates a modern workspace in a retro environment. The cafe is warm and welcoming and lets patrons relax over a cup for the whole day. The cafe is made from all recycled material and did not generate any trash when the house was remodeled. Salon de Amanto represents both the old school feeling of pre Westernized Japan and the new culture that is trying to revitalize it. Salon de Amanto is open everyday from 12PM to 10PM.
