3 unmissable Osaka clothing stores for streetwear

Founded by scene impresario and club culture connoisseur Orang back in 2018, Daily Dose is inextricably tied to Minami-Horie, the city’s most reliably fashionable ’hood. Expounding a ‘clean yet edgy’ street aesthetic, the store showcases a meticulously curated selection in a narrow, elongated space that’s barely wide enough for two people to stand side by side. In addition to the main shop, they run two offshoots in Amerikamura: Sighto specialises in vintage clothing while CopyArt Collective offers furniture and accessories alongside apparel.

Rroomm in Nakazakicho has earned its spot at the summit of Osaka’s ‘select shop’ scene by offering a broad but focused line-up of cutting-edge pieces from brands both domestic and international. It wears its Osaka identity on its sleeve, with a street-level colour scheme and deliberately eclectic displays. For something more experimental, check out sister shop Nnuudd in the dining district of Tenma. There’s also a Kyoto offshoot called Lloomm.

Proclaiming to be situated ‘just 100 steps’ from the landmark Tsutenkaku Tower in Shinsekai, The Mongolian Choppsss combines one-ofa- kind items with a healthy dose of Osaka-style humour. It’s run by the eponymous creative duo who’ve also given the neighbourhood the Boku Ha Tanosii brand and its dedicated store – located just around the corner from this one – plus TASF Tackle Mart, a fishing pro shop (the designers are bass fishing enthusiasts too, natch).
