A Culinary Journey During Official Duties: A Day at the Osaka City Hall Cafeteria

The morning sun shines on the streets of downtown Osaka, and my first stop is the uniquely charming Osaka City Hall Cafeteria. This hidden gem inside the city government building is open to the public and is known for its affordable prices and high-quality meals. Walking into the city hall, the simple and solemn architectural style gives a sense of seriousness, but as I step into the cafeteria, I am greeted with warmth and a friendly atmosphere. During lunchtime, the place is bustling with staff and visitors. I chose a popular set meal - the fried pork cutlet set. The crispy pork cutlet paired with soft white rice and refreshing miso soup offers a simple yet satisfying taste. After the meal, I took the opportunity to tour the city hall, learning about the operations and public services of the Osaka city government. In the afternoon, I headed to the nearby Nakanoshima Park to enjoy the scenery along the Okawa River, quietly feeling the rhythm of the city and the harmony of nature.
