Shinsaibashi is known for many things. Today we are going to talk about a lesser known joy of the area.
Coffee!
The area surrounding HOTEL THE FLAG is a wonderland for coffee lovers! Here are a few of our favorites.
SPORTY COFFEE
Nine minutes by foot southwest of our hotel, you can find this haven.
Friendly staff chat with customers as they prepare delicious drip coffee. The store uses speciality beans from makers of high-quality such as Sawada Coffee (Chicago), The Barn (Berlin), and The Roasters (Wakayama).
Sporty Coffee offers a special Amemura Latte, made with Osakan sweets hiyashi-ame. You can only taste this here so we highly recommend it!
They also sell sports wear and goods and host group runs, yoga, and basketball events. A fun place for coffee lovers and sports lovers alike.
