One way to watch the Osaka Derby: cheering together with fellow Cerezo fans right above Namba Station. Swissôtel Nankai Osaka will hold a live viewing of “Gamba Osaka vs Cerezo Osaka” — the Osaka Derby — on Sunday, November 8, 2026. The venue is Nambar 10, a retro bar on the 10th floor. Entry is free, with a one-drink order required.
The club ambassador and the stadium DJ’s voice turn up the energy
Swissôtel Nankai Osaka is an official partner of Cerezo Osaka, and Nambar 10 is showing every Cerezo match again in the 2026–27 season (some as delayed broadcasts). For derby day, the hotel is making it a supporters’ event with guests.
The guests are Cerezo Osaka ambassador Yusuke Maruhashi and stadium creator Daisuke Nishikawa, who joins the event for the first time.
Maruhashi was born in 1990 in Osaka Prefecture. He played for Nanko Sakura FC and Osaka City Jeunesse FC before moving up through Cerezo’s U-15 and U-18 teams to the first team, and also played on loan for BG Pathum United FC in Thailand and for Sagan Tosu. Nishikawa has brought the excitement of matches to life with his voice as Cerezo’s stadium DJ, and since 2024 he has been the stadium creator who designs the matchday presentation.
Doors open at 14:00, kick-off is at 15:00, and the event is scheduled to end around 17:00. There is a prize draw at half-time, with Cerezo Osaka merchandise and more to be won. You get one draw ticket for each food or drink item you order, regular menu items included.
For supporters who could not get to the stadium, following the match alongside guests connected to the club is a big draw. You can come straight up from the train, so it is easy to drop in after shopping or eating in Minami (the Namba area).
A cherry-pink limited menu
On the day there is a one-day-only menu themed on the team color, pink. The four food items are “French Fries with Mentai Mayo” ¥500, “Mentai Mayo Takoyaki” ¥600, “Chicken Wings with Chili Mayonnaise” ¥800 and “Cerezo Pink Churros” ¥500.
The drink is “Cerezo Pink SUI” ¥500, a sweet-and-sour cocktail of SUI gin with grapefruit juice and cranberry juice, topped with soda. The regular food and drink menu is also available. Everything is easy to eat with one hand, so you can enjoy it without taking your eyes off the match.
Nambar 10, a playground for grown-ups
Nambar 10 is a bar inspired by the neighborhoods around Namba, such as Den Den Town, Dotonbori and Amerikamura. With arcade games, board games, billiards and even karaoke, it is a place for grown-ups to play. Regular hours are 16:00–22:00 on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays and 16:00–22:30 on Fridays and Saturdays; it is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
