Souvenir shop on Dotonbori's main drag for Osaka-themed gifts and sweets.
Sakura Omiyage is a souvenir shop on Dotonbori's busy 1-chome, a short walk from the river's famous neon signs, catering to the constant flow of visitors exploring Osaka's most iconic eating street. The shop carries a selection of Osaka-themed souvenirs and gifts typical of the area, from local sweets and snacks to small character goods and travel mementos. Its location on the Dotonbori main drag makes it a convenient last stop before heading back to a hotel or onward to Namba Station. As with many souvenir shops along Dotonbori, the focus is on accessible, eye-catching items that capture the flavour of Osaka - sweets, key chains, regional snacks and seasonal goods. It suits tourists wanting a quick, no-fuss souvenir without detouring into a department store, or families picking up treats for friends back home. The surrounding street, with its giant moving signs and riverside energy, is itself part of the experience. For an easy Osaka memento grabbed in the middle of the city's most photographed street, Sakura Omiyage is a handy, welcoming stop. It is a simple, friendly shop for travellers wanting to take a little of Dotonbori home.

There was an Asian man with glasses in mid-thirties or early forties working while we were there. Not sure if he's an employee or the owner. He was extremely rude and started automatically speaking Chinese to us when we inquired about an …

The man who runs the shop was very rude.
He asked for a 3% surcharge if you wanted to pay by credit card (we've been in Japan for 25 days and it's only happened to us at this place). I said "OK" and handed him my credit card with a bow, but he repeated "OK" sarcastically, as if I'd wronged him.
I'm not sure if he's rude to everyone or just has a problem with tourists.
We're European, so I can understand why many foreign tourists who don't know Japanese culture might be unwelcome to the Japanese. I've seen tourists from my country do things that made me feel ashamed, and I was the first to ask him to behave more respectfully, but treating people rudely doesn't seem like a solution to me.
Furthermore, if this were truly the problem, perhaps working in a souvenir shop isn't the best idea.
If, on the other hand, the rudeness were directed at everyone indiscriminately, I'd even recommend a job that doesn't involve contact with the public.
