06:48 10/17/2023

When traveling to Japan, besides exploring the captivating and beautiful tourist attractions, travelers often choose to indulge in local cuisine. Each place has its unique culinary flavors and ways of enjoying food.

In Osaka, apart from traditional local dishes, there are some particularly delightful pastries that both locals and tourists adore. Here is a list of four types of cakes that GoEMON highly recommends you try when visiting Osaka:


1. Japanese Cotton Cheese Cake

This cake boasts a rich, creamy flavor with a soft, golden-brown top that is simply irresistible. It's a perfect blend of sponge cake and cheese, resulting in a smooth, fragrant, and delectable treat.

 When you take a bite, you'll feel the softness of the cake's texture and its delightful melt-in-your-mouth quality. In Osaka, you can visit stores like Rikuro Ojisan no Mise, The Garden Oriental Osaka, and Rikuro Ojisannomise Daimasu Umeda to savor this delightful cake.


2. Imagawayaki

Imagawayaki is another beloved treat in Osaka. Its shape resembles a traditional Japanese drum called "Taiko". The outer shell is crispy and golden, while the sweet red bean paste filling the inside is smooth and subtly sweet. One of the best places to enjoy Imagawayaki is in the Dotonburi district, where many vendors sell this delightful treat.


3. Matcha Tiramisu Cake

Tiramisu is a cold dessert originating from Italy, beloved worldwide for its delightful taste, refreshing chill, and quick dissolving texture. The matcha flavor adds a vital and vibrant touch to this classic dessert.

In Osaka, you can experience the difference in this cake as it is carefully crafted by pastry chefs using high-quality local ingredients, especially matcha. You can find this treat at places like Ujien with branches throughout Osaka, Maccha House Matchakan near Namba Station, or Ichiha Cafe in the Tempozan Market near Osaka Port.


These are four culinary delights that many visitors highly recommend when visiting Osaka. Give them a try, and you will not be disappointed.
