About The Entry

As you step out of the elevator and pass through the compact hall with charcoal gray siding, you will see a stage with a crystal grand piano beyond the L-shaped counter. A beautifully symmetrical tiered audience seating area will unfold directly ahead.

Guests can enjoy panoramic views of Osaka's nightscape from this approximately 3-meter-high tiered platform clad in off-white ceramic.

There are fourteen semi-private box seats arranged in six tiers. By switching between outdoor coolers and heaters seasonally, the seats can accommodate all but rainy weather.

A modern, L-shaped sofa upholstered in Sunbrella outdoor fabric from the USA is arranged on a tiered platform with resin decking over a steel frame base.

Lighted plantings frame the space, creating a pleasant private atmosphere even within the open air.

This elegant and commanding chandelier, which features an original design by Yasumichi Morita and a stainless-steel vibration finish, has become an iconic piece for the store. This original lighting fixture features an LED lamp housed within a spiral-shaped structure made of twisted 5mm stainless steel components. Light reflects randomly, casting fantastic shadows and inviting you into an extraordinary world with its warm, soft glow.
