Kamakura Pasta Namba Walk at Dotonbori, Osaka

Fresh-pasta chain branch in Namba Walk with all-you-can-eat bread and family-friendly service.

Kamakura Pasta is a Saint Marc Holdings brand built around fresh noodles, and its Namba Walk branch brings that formula to the rainbow-coloured underground arcade. The menu focuses on seasonal fresh pastas, with a popular summer fair of chilled noodles and warming winter plates that change through the year. A signature perk is the all-you-can-eat bread basket that accompanies many sets, a draw for families and hungry shoppers. The 62-seat dining room is non-smoking throughout, offers a children's menu and accepts takeaway, opening from 11am to 10pm daily. Conveniently placed on the north arcade of Namba Walk, it is a reliable choice for a sit-down meal between bouts of shopping in the covered mall.
