The Legend of Osaka’s Fusion Cuisine: Exploring Ceylon Rice at "New Light"

In the vibrant and innovative city of Osaka, there is a long-established eatery in Amerikamura that stands out with its doors covered in hip-hop event posters and stickers. Young people line up outside, eagerly waiting to get in. However, this is neither a nightclub nor a record shop—it is a Western-style restaurant with over 60 years of history. Established in 1959, “New Light” has been a staple in the southern Osaka food scene, earning a reputation as an essential culinary landmark.

A One-of-a-Kind Dish: Ceylon Rice

The star dish at New Light is none other than Ceylon Rice. This unique dish is a flavorful mix of beef, onions, curry powder, demi-glace sauce, and ramen broth. The demi-glace sauce used here is a special blend that has been perfected since the restaurant’s founding, creating a taste that no other establishment can replicate.

Other Recommended Dishes Besides “Ceylon Rice”

One must-try dish is “Cream Rice with Pork Cutlet”. Cream Rice is a flavorful fried rice made with finely chopped green peppers, carrots, and onions, all infused with a rich buttery taste. The saltiness and umami from the butter create a deep and satisfying flavor. While Cream Rice alone might feel a bit light, pairing it with a crispy pork cutlet and drizzling it with Worcestershire sauce from the table transforms it into an incredibly delicious B-class gourmet dish!

A Retro Time-Travel Experience

As you wait in line and step into New Light, you’ll be amazed by the sight of walls covered in autographed cards, many of them signed by famous musicians. The atmosphere instantly transports you back to the Showa era. The vintage exterior design might make you feel as if you’ve entered an old-school arcade from early Showa Japan, while the nostalgic interior decor enhances the retro charm.

However, there’s no need to worry about hygiene—New Light takes cleanliness seriously, ensuring that you can enjoy both the food and the cozy ambiance with peace of mind.

A Cultural Experience of Osaka’s Local Gourmet Scene

New Light is a true icon of Shinsaibashi’s local cuisine, drawing in countless celebrities and food enthusiasts over the years. Featured in various magazines and media, its popularity remains unwavering even after 60 years. Many entertainers from Yoshimoto Kogyo, a major entertainment company in Osaka, frequently dine here, often sharing their experiences on social media—making this spot a favorite among well-known personalities.

If you want to immerse yourself in Osaka’s deep-rooted food culture and experience its unique local lifestyle, this is the place to be. Here, you can savor delicious yet affordable soul food loved by locals. So, step through the doors of New Light and embark on a true Osaka dining adventure!
