A cozy, culture-forward café-bar in Ōtsu blending comfort food, good drinks, and a rotating dose of creative energy.

MK Guide Recommends

Tucked into a modest corner of Ōtsu’s Seiran neighborhood, Sputnic is a hybrid café and bar with local character and laid-back charm. The space blends soft lighting, eclectic music, and simple wood-and-metal interiors, welcoming a steady mix of students, creatives, and laid-back locals. The menu spans from café classics like handmade cakes and curry rice to bar-time drinks and light tapas, making it a flexible stop from lunch to late night. Occasional DJ sets, zine pop-ups, and indie events give Sputnic a pulse beyond its size. Whether you're settling in with a book or unwinding over drinks, it’s the kind of neighborhood spot that quietly anchors a scene.
