SkullObsessionYour neighborhood Latin bar in Osaka

SalsaBachataKizomba

A small Latin bar taking shape in Chiyozaki, Nishi-ku, Osaka. Whether you live nearby or are visiting Osaka, we look forward to welcoming you.

OPENING SOON
Opening preparations are underway.

The space is being renovated now. We will announce our opening date and confirmed events on this page and on Instagram.

FIRST VISIT

New to Latin dance?

No experience needed. This is not a place to show off your skills — it is a place to enjoy the music, meet people and find your own first step.

  1. 01 / LISTEN

    Start by listening.

    No need to dance. Grab a drink and get to know the Latin rhythm.

  2. 02 / STEP

    Try just one step.

    Daytime sessions are for beginners. Learn the basic step, slowly and calmly.

  3. 03 / CONNECT

    Connect through music.

    Enjoy the music and meet new people.

Good to know

THE OWNER

Meet the owner

20 years of salsa5 years of bachata

After losing his job of fifteen years in IT security, the owner decided to take over the shop his mother ran for thirty years — and turn it into a Latin bar.

He plans to teach the beginner salsa and bachata lessons himself. Kizomba lessons are planned with a guest instructor.

He is writing about how the bar came to be in a series on note (in Japanese).
