When you want to change the mood and enjoy a meal or a drink amid the lively Umeda underground, this is the spot to drop in.
That is Hanshin Bar Yokocho, spread across the B2 floor of the Hanshin Umeda Main Store.
In a space so refined you may forget you are inside a department store, bars, cafés, Japanese and Western eateries line up side by side.
Come for an easy lunch or sweets in the daytime, and for a quick drink after work or a relaxed dinner at night. It is a “just-right” gourmet spot for grown-ups that fits any scene.
This article introduces both the Bar Zone and the Gourmet Zone at Hanshin Bar Yokocho, from their vibe to defining features.
We will share the appeal of this space, which blends department-store quality with everyday casual use, along with the on-site atmosphere.
Hanshin Bar Yokocho is a dining floor on the B2 level of the Hanshin Umeda Main Store in Umeda, Osaka. The Bar Zone for drinks and the Gourmet Zone for meals and cafés are integrated, creating a popular “grown-up casual” space where the mood shifts by time of day—lunch by day, bar hopping by night.

Hanshin Bar Yokocho is organized into two areas: the Bar Zone and the Gourmet Zone.
Each has its own theme and feel, but you can move freely between them on a single floor.
Sip something while nibbling lightly, or sit down for a full meal—whatever suits your mood.
Being able to change styles within the same floor is what makes Hanshin Bar Yokocho so comfortable.
The entire B2 floor functions as one “yokocho” (alley), welcoming you for lunch, dinner, or a café break at any time of day.
The Bar Zone is an area where you can enjoy easy bites with wine, sake, or craft beer in hand.
Shops centered on counter seating make it easy to stop by alone. It is also perfect for light meals with friends or a quick after-work drink. Many places offer lunch menus, and day drinking is possible.
Gyoza bars, meat bars, Spanish bars—distinctive shops line the aisles. With a wide range of cuisines, you can enjoy it like a food stroll.
Even inside a department store, the layout gives a pleasant sense of an urban street bar. Each shop looks stylish and lifts the mood.
“Unpretentious yet properly stylish”—
that is the kind of grown-up casual time you can expect here.

Shops beloved in Osaka and Kyoto stand side by side—such as “Indian Curry,” “551 Horai,” and “Le Petitmec”—for a lineup that feels very Kansai, the city of food.
During café time, lighter options such as matcha sweets and soft-serve are plentiful. Many people use this area as an “everyday-friendly gourmet zone” you can pop into between shopping.
From lunch to dinner and café breaks, the freedom to choose by mood and scene is a major draw.
