Why we recommend it
Takamura Wine & Coffee Roasters is one of the more unusual coffee stops in Osaka: a huge specialist store devoted to two drinks, wine and coffee, under one roof. It occupies about 200 tsubo, roughly 660 square metres, in Edobori in Nishi-ku, and it has become a destination for coffee enthusiasts from across the city.
The philosophy is summed up in the shop's motto of choosing coffee the way you would choose wine, paying attention to origin, variety and processing. Takamura roasts its own specialty coffee on site, including a wide selection of Cup of Excellence lots, the prize-winning coffees from national competitions in producing countries, and it has been buying beans directly from farmers since 2024. The team's skills are well recognised: they took second place at the Japan Coffee Roasting Championship and first place at the Japan AeroPress Championship, both in 2018. Drip coffee is the best way to taste the beans, and the espresso tonic is a popular alternative on a warm day.
The wine side is just as serious, with around 3,700 wines in stock, and the online shop has won a Rakuten wine award for more than ten years running. It is easy to spend time browsing the shelves after your coffee, and the range of beans to take home is one of the broadest in the city.
The shop is open from 11:00 to 19:30 and closes on Wednesdays. Weekday afternoons are usually the calmest time to visit. It suits coffee lovers who want to try something beyond a standard cafe menu, wine buyers, and anyone looking for a gift. Buying a bag of a single-origin coffee you have just tasted is the best souvenir, and if you are unsure where to start, ask which coffees are currently being brewed so you can taste before you buy. Note that bags of freshly roasted beans keep best sealed and away from heat, which is worth remembering on a long trip home.
Takamura is about ten minutes' walk from Exit 2 of Higobashi Station on the Osaka Metro Yotsubashi Line, and there is partner parking for drivers. From here it is a short walk to the riverside of Nakanoshima so a coffee here combines well with lunch nearby or an afternoon at the Nakanoshima museums.
