Ult

Why it’s on the route

Ult was founded by Boram Um, the 2023 World Barista Champion, and sits in Kyomachibori near Higobashi Station. The coffee shop itself is compact, with a few benches inside and out and earth-toned décor, while the much larger roastery next door roasts competition-series coffees, micro-lots and blends. Pour-over and espresso drinks are served, and beans are sold over the counter; Ult was Osaka's only entry on the 2026 World's 100 Best Coffee Shops list.
