OXYMORON Kitahama

eenomsiki

Just like you must visit the Han River when in Seoul, you should consider visiting any river while in Osaka. Among the areas tourists often stay, like Namba, if you're looking for riverside cafes and restaurants, Kitahama, located between Yodoyabashi and Tenmabashi, is recommended. Not only are there tranquil cafes, but various restaurants along the Toshohori riverside, most boasting beautiful views of the river and parks. Nearby, there's the Nakano-shima Park, where the river splits into two around a central island. It's also conveniently close to Umeda and the Tenmangu Shrine. The restaurant Oxymoron is extremely popular among local young women rather than tourists. Their minced meat curry with onsen egg appears similar to other keema curries but is mild and easily approachable for first-timers. Their desserts, especially a towering custard pudding, are as popular as their curry and are all made in-house.
