……
Caption by Hyatt Namba Osaka (Chuo-ku, Osaka, General Manager: Shintaro Fukuda), the Hyatt brand’s first lifestyle hotel in Japan, will open on Wednesday, June 12, 2024, in one of Osaka’s most unique areas. We will open in Ura Namba.
Talk Shop, the face of the hotel, collaborates with local people and shops to provide an immersive experience in local gourmet food and culture. The talk shop is a place where anyone can feel free to visit, not just hotel guests, and we aim to become a community space where guests and the local community can connect.

At the talk shop, we offer a variety of gourmet food and experience events where you can enjoy local “Eemon” and “Omoroi”. The restaurant offers a wide range of “eemon” menus, including pasta and pizza made with seasonal ingredients gathered at Osaka’s kitchen, Kuromon Market, near the hotel, as well as local cuisine, “Gaccio fried chicken.” We also have a wide selection of locally produced craft beer and coffee, so you can spend your time as you please, from morning to night, from work to play.
We will also invite local people to an experiential event where they can immerse themselves in the “Eemon” and “Omoroi” culture that has taken root in the area. There will be a knife workshop to learn from the shopkeepers of Sennichimae Doguyasuji Shopping Street, food sample making, and performances by artists. In addition, you can enjoy books selected by Mr. Nakagawa, the owner of the much-missed popular bookstore “Standard Bookstore,” which has closed down, in the talk shop, and book-themed collaboration events are also being planned. In addition, by allowing local people to freely use the talk shop, they can introduce recommended information to guests that only local residents can provide, and sometimes they can host their own events, creating interaction between local people and guests. We hope to create a new community.
Our hotel will continue to prepare for its opening on June 12th, while valuing the local history, culture, and connections.

Caption by Hyatt Namba Osaka doesn’t have a lobby, but rather a community space we call a “talk shop.”
Both tourists and locals enjoy Osaka’s soul food and drinks, from morning coffee to evening cocktails, while working and playing, sometimes enjoying performances by Namba’s unique talents and artists, and talks by shop owners. It’s a relaxed social space where you can feel free to be yourself. The talk shop is open to everyone, not just hotel guests.
We also aim to become a community space where guests and the local community can connect by collaborating with local people and shops and providing experiences that allow guests to immerse themselves in Namba’s unique gourmet food and culture.

Focusing on the cafe menu, we offer menus that make extensive use of ingredients gathered at Kuromon Market and seasonal ingredients rooted in Osaka.
For Osaka’s local dishes of deep-fried small fish, “Gaccho Karaage” and “Seafood Bowl,” we use fish purchased from a fresh fish store in Kuromon Market. Our salads and pizzas incorporate vegetables grown in Osaka, and we also have a lineup of Osaka’s representative soul foods such as takoyaki, kushikatsu, and meat soup.
We also offer crème brûlée made with Osaka honey and Osaka craft beer from a unique craft beer shop in Ura-Namba. From desserts to drinks, we incorporate a wide range of Osaka’s “Eemon”. Have fun talking at the talk shop while snacking on some of Osaka’s delicious foods that are surprisingly unknown from the standard menu.

Experience event at talk shop
In collaboration with local people, we will hold an event where you can connect with local people and experience various Osaka “eemon” and “interesting” things and things that we want to preserve in the future, including history and culture.
Participants will experience sharpening knives and making food samples while being taught by the staff of Sennichimae Doguyasuji Shopping Street, which has cooking utensils suitable for professional connoisseurs. In addition, you can enjoy books selected by Mr. Nakagawa, the owner of the much-missed popular bookstore “Standard Bookstore,” which has closed down, in the talk shop, and book-themed collaboration events are also being planned.
We are actively encouraging local people to use the talk shop as a place to communicate, and we will continue to increase the number of collaboration destinations even after the hotel opens. By creating opportunities for guests to not only “see” and “buy” but also immerse themselves in the history and culture through connections with local people, we will provide an experience that will update Osaka and Namba to what they have seen up until now.

(Cooperation: Standard Bookstore owner Kazuhiko Nakagawa)
Mr. Nakagawa, the owner of the now-missed Standard Book Store, started his bookstore business in the book section of a department store in Namba. Namba is Mr. Nakagawa’s roots and a place he has fond memories of. Mr. Nakagawa, who values “creating a place for people to belong” through books, and the talk shop’s goal resonated with each other, so he selected the book. In the future, we are also planning a collaboration event with a book theme.
