It’s got a rooftop Ferris wheel, a loud red-and-white colour scheme, masses of even louder teenagers shuffling in, out and about, and a pair of giant whales hanging from the atrium ceiling. So you won’t be surprised to hear that this fashion-forward mall dedicated to street styles and pop culture doesn’t dial things down when it comes to food either.
Tamlo, Hep Five’s seventh-floor restaurant and café zone, deals nearly exclusively in photogenic eats, from omelette-topped spaghetti at Cheese and Honey to pastel-coloured sweets at shops such as Korean Kitchen K-Lovers and Pink Woo Waffle. The area between the eateries is decked out in grey with ample white-tile surfaces and intense lighting that’ll almost ensure your food shots are influencer-grade. For a more typically Osakan experience, check out Osaka Takoyaki Market on the ground floor, where five shops specialising in the city’s famous octopus balls vie for supremacy.
