Tucked behind Osaka's Hankyu station, Chayamachi is a fashionable shopping area chock-a-block full of nice cafes, so when you stumble on something a little different it's a real treat. Una Rana Café is just that. In front of G-Star RAW in Nu-Chayamachi you'll find this café​, the cutest mint green VW camper van, churning out pizza by the slice, refreshing libations and the best chocolate brownie certainly in Osaka, and maybe in the world.

Of course, even by Osaka's standards a camper van is a small venue, so seating is at little tables clustered around the van. If you're in a rush you can take your drinks and snacks to go... please don't though; the initial attraction of this adorable stand may be its aesthetics, but the real come-back factor lies in its proprietor, Daichi. Always keen to advise you on the menu, Daichi's easy charm will have you returning for more, and very probably sitting for several hours getting to know him, his regulars and the security guard who patrols the area.

The camper van has been converted into the most efficient little kitchen you are ever likely to see, enabling Daichi to offer a small but diverse menu ranging from pizza to tortillas, toasties and back to the brownie! Drinks are the usual coffee and tea options, plus refreshing fizzes and juices. There’s also the challenge of a mystery ‘frog drink’, for the café’s Italian namesake and adorable mascot - but only if you are cheeky enough to ask on a quiet day. If you're lucky, when you order a drink you just might get a morsel of the cake of the day to go with. And if you are doubly lucky you’ll be there on a chocolate brownie cake day; if you weren't already hooked on Una Rana you will be now! The home-baked brownie is the perfect balance of gooey and crunchy, with the thin pastry base and macadamia nuts hiding within giving it a really special something.

Una Rana is an especially delightful spot in the temperate months when you can make a cold drink last several pleasant hours, but in winter the mulled wine is a wonderful way to warm you from the inside out. Next time your feet are tired of pounding the streets for a bargain, Una Rana Café is perfectly situated for a pick-me-up and people-watching session, and you'll probably come away with some new friends to boot.
