If you visit Osaka, this place is a gem. It's the true definition of Japanese hospitality! To be honest, we stumbled into this tiny bar where two beautiful elderly folks in their late 60s are the cool owners and we walked away with great friends from Japan. It was one of the most memorable experience. They welcomed our 8 years old daughter and made her an honorary member that night. So much love, fun, and incredible musicians - all elderly but had so much swag that we came back the following night for more!

Probably the best little blues club in Osaka. I say little, because it is small....so small that the band plays in an adjoining room. But there's a video and big screen tv so those on the bar can see what is going on. Owner Shiyosan has a incredible vinyl album collection of jazz, r&b, and especially blues artists that he is deservedly proud of. They're run through a great sound system when the band takes a break of on nights when there's no live music. I guarantee you'll hear some albums you've never heard before. Some of the best blues acts in Japan show up at this club and they're doing a great job keeping the blues alive.
