I believe that when we travel, we love to buy local items back home. This is the same for me when I am in Osaka recently.
Along the street, you may find lots of drugs store, small shop that sell Japanese good that are tax free.
Different store manage differently on the tax free procedure.
One of the store that I really visited the most is Don Quijote at Namba.
There is a total of 3 stores in that area and I feel each store had some unique items for sale.
In general, the common items that Tourist buy are available in all 3 stores, but favorite is the one at the main street.
Address:
Don Quijote, 2 Chome-5-9 Nishishinsaibashi, Chūō-ku, Ōsaka-shi, Ōsaka-fu 542-0086, Japan

The store is bigger which is a few storey high.
Level 1: Mainly are snacks and drugs items
Level 2: More foods (eg instant noodles, sauces etc) , toiletries.
Level 3: Bags, electronic items etc
Prices in this shop are more competitive compare to most other drug store.
The only cons are:
Drugs items eg. vitamin, supplements etc need to be pay at their drug store counter, and all items include tax must be pay upfront. After purchase, if total purchase exceed 5000yen then using the receipts we will proceed to the tax refund counter to had all the items pack and had the tax refund.
As this store is so popular, we took quite a long que to get the tax refund and they had all the item seal in a clear bag. This make luggage packing quite inconvenience especially when you buy lots of items like i do.
Above are all the items I bought during my Osaka trip.
Snacks, chocolates, shampoo and hair dyes were all bought at Don Quijote.
It is definitely a place worth to shop, just watch your pocket before it get burn badly.
