Habana (葉花)

Habana is a fusion standing bar in Namba, Osaka, opened in December 2022 as a sister shop to the Ushitora group, credited as pioneers of Osaka’s modern standing-bar revival. Set in a renovated former fugu restaurant, it blends a nostalgic, modern-Japanese interior with an eclectic menu spanning Japanese, Asian, and other ethnic influences, including original dishes like fried-egg potato salad and lamb tataki-style cuts, alongside beer cocktails, sake, and natural wines. The ground floor is standing-only while the second floor offers reservable table seating. A standout touch is its inexpensive solo-diner appetizer platter, aimed specifically at single visitors.
