A Retro Cafe, Serving Delicious Coffee Since the 1930s
Marufuku Coffee is a retro cafe located in the bustling Sennichi-mae Street, just a short five-minute walk from Namba Station. The cafe has been an oasis from Osaka's chaotic city life since the 1930s and is beloved by many Osakans.
Marufuku Coffee was founded by Mr. Ibuki, who was fascinated by Tokyo's Ginza district during the 1930s. Ginza was the leader in trends from America and Europe, which included coffee. Fascinated by cafe culture, Mr. Ibuki decided to help bring coffee to Osaka. Drinking coffee was not common at that time, so he studied very hard to perfect his techniques. In his pursuit, he amassed a collection of coffee-making equipment. The first Marufuku Coffee opened in Shinsekai, near Tsutenkaku, but eventually relocated to its current location on Sennichi-mae Street. Before long, Marufuku became a hit and there are many branches throughout Osaka and even Tokyo.
The cafe's interior is dimly lit, which adds to the ambiance and compliments the furniture and dark wood finishes. One of the interesting features of the cafe is Mr. Ibuki's coffee tools collection. The case on the right-hand side just as you enter the cafe displays part of his collection of tools from around the world. Like other kissaten, Marufuku is very particular about its coffee. In fact, they still use the original percolator as well as a few secret techniques Mr. Ibuki invented to create the perfect cup of coffee. Their signature coffee has a dark thick flavor that hasn't changed since the cafe first opened.
Marufuku Coffee is famous for its sweets as well. Their classic sweets set is a must-try while sipping on their signature coffee. The cups and saucers are from Okuratoen, one of the best and most expensive western dish companies in Japan.
Getting to Marufuku Coffee is straightforward. It is on the Dotonbori side of Sennichi-mae, and the two closest stations are Nankai Namba and Kintentsu-Nipponbashi.
In conclusion, Marufuku Coffee is an excellent place to relax and enjoy some delicious coffee and sweets while taking in some of Osaka's retro vibes.
