OSORA cafe

‘OSORA cafe’ which literally means ‘Sky cafe’ is located smack-dab in the middle of Minamikata, and feels quite out of place in a town mostly famous for it’s nightlife entertainment and izakayas (Japanese bars).

The cafe is located in a corner building on a one minute walking distance from either Minamikata or Nishinakajima Minamikata station and stands out from the surrounding area with it’s white cafe style exterior covered with words like: “coffee, drinks, lunch etc” in big black letters.

The cute little entrance welcomes you to a spacious interior consisting mostly of antique wooden furniture, comfortable ‘highschool’ chairs and fairly big windows. The bottom part of the windows are made from ribbed glass which let in all the light but still gives you the privacy from outside. The light bouncing on the wooden furniture creates a warm atmosphere even if it’s raining outside.

The interior consists of a couple of table seats, a few counter seats and one booth that can be used for groups up to 4/5 people.

While OSORA Cafe has a pretty diverse menu, it is mostly famous for it’s Strawberry toast, and deservedly so. The Strawberry toast is stylishly placed on a dark wooden ‘cutting’ board covered with powdered sugar and ice-cream on top. The plates doesn’t only look gorgeous, it also tastes fantastic. So if you like sweets and strawberries you are in for a treat.
