There is a bakery on the basement floor of Takashimaya department store. Despite being located in a department store, this shop doesn't feel too high-end and has a more down-to-earth vibe. Recommended items include the stone-baked sweet potato bread and cheesecake bread, both priced around ¥1000. The stone-baked sweet potato bread has a strong aroma of black sesame and sweet potato, and comes in a satisfyingly large portion of 5 pieces. The cheesecake bread, available in limited quantities, has a light and tangy cream that complements the bread well. Overall, it's a nice shop that evokes a sense of nostalgia.

I arrived before 6 pm on a regular day. The underground area is bustling at this time. I came to buy the Venetiana that my friend recommended. I got the half-size because the whole one was too big. It has almonds on top and the inside is a light orange-flavored bread.

When I come to Osaka, I like to have this Venetiana as an energy boost before my morning walk. In Tokyo, you can only buy it at events, so it's convenient that you can easily get it even near closing time at the Takashimaya Osaka store basement. I always make sure to buy it the night before for the next morning's energy. As I started eating it, despite its appearance, it quickly disappeared into my stomach. The occasional accents of orange peel and almonds stimulate the appetite. As always, it was very delicious. Thank you for the meal. What I bought: Venetiana 466 yen *It was cheaper because I used a Takashimaya discount.

I visited in October 2021 and the Food Log rating at the time was 3.51. I couldn't resist buying the popular Potato Genovese bread, which tasted even better when microwaved. I appreciate the respect shown to all the ingredients used in the food. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I had them the morning after purchasing, so I warmed them up in the oven. Bacon cream cheese (259 yen): The croissant had lost its crispiness by the next morning, but the combination of bacon slices, cream cheese, basil sauce, and powdered cheese was absolutely delicious. The cream cheese was especially plentiful and impressive. Potato Genovese (237 yen): With mascarpone cheese, basil, potatoes, and sausage, both combinations are sure to be winners, but I'm sure they would be even more delicious if eaten fresh out of the oven.

I always buy the same bread at Kimuraya, it's our favorite at home. It's definitely delicious and satisfying. The color and texture are very good, fluffy. I have no doubts or complaints. The store at Takashimaya feels clean and the service is good. It's convenient to park at a nearby coin parking. No reservations are needed. I highly recommend buying this bread at this store, especially the Venetiana, it's very delicious. (^^)

Founded in 1906, this bakery has a long history of creating delicious bread and pastries using natural yeast starters such as sake, hops, sourdough, raisin, apple, yogurt, and craft beer strains. The current owner, the third generation, is dedicated to introducing Japanese people to a variety of bread from around the world. One of their popular items is the Venetiana, a sweet bread made with panettone starter, almonds, hazelnuts, and orange peel. Another new item is the Spanish Cheese bread, which features cranberry sauce and cheese on top of a buttery and fluffy bread. They also offer a Mascarpone bread that is rich and dense, with a generous amount of mascarpone cheese. Overall, the bakery offers a unique selection of bread and pastries that are both delicious and satisfying.

Located 3-5 minutes walk from Nankai Namba Station, in Takashimaya, is Bakery Tamade Kimuraya 2DEUX at Takashimaya Osaka Store. Although the variety of products is not extensive, this shop is known for its fluffy bread dough. As it is a take-out only shop, it is recommended for purchasing bread for breakfast or as a side dish for meals. This time, I purchased a moist cream bread. The scent of vanilla beans and almond slices was wonderful, and the combination of fluffy bread dough and smooth cream was excellent! There were many other delicious-looking breads lined up, so when you want to buy bread in Namba, be sure to visit. Thank you for the meal!

When it comes to Kimuraya, they are known for their anpan, but when I declined it, I bought white peach bread and condensed milk bread that my son wanted to eat. Lately, there are many delicious breads, so when I see bread, I feel like eating it. I expected the condensed milk bread to be sweet and delicious, but it was not much different from regular bread. The white peach bread was heavy and had a moist, castella-like taste. It was delicious in a way I had never experienced before.

If you are from the Kanto region, you might think of Ginza Kimuraya when you hear the name Kimuraya. As an Osaka resident, I think of Tamade Kimuraya. Whenever I see it at a department store event in Nagoya, I always end up buying it - Venetiana. It looks rough on the outside, but inside it's fluffy and delicious. The sweetness is well balanced, and it's addictive. The texture is similar to chiffon cake, and the taste is captivating. When I go to Osaka, I buy it at Takashimaya. On this day, I bought one piece. It's good whether lightly toasted or eaten as is. Venetiana is without a doubt delicious, and I highly recommend it. Recently, I feel like the amount of nuts has decreased, and the quality and quantity of ingredients seem to have dropped a bit. However, the taste is still spot on. Venetiana is the only one that's delicious. Difficulty of reservation: Not applicable. Convenience of car use: 3 out of 5. Cleanliness of the store: 3 out of 5. Staff response: 3 out of 5. Neither good nor bad.

On this day, I happened to pass by Kimuraya in the basement of Takashimaya and felt nostalgic, so I decided to buy something after a long time. Kimuraya is known for its "Condensed Milk Roll," which was a super popular butter and condensed milk cream sandwiched between bread rolls in the past. I asked the staff for their recommendation this time, and they said that the "Cream Pan" and "Marguerite" are popular now. So, I followed their recommendation and got the Chestnut Milk Stick, Cream Pan, and Marguerite. The Chestnut Milk Stick is a sweet bread with chestnut paste swirled inside and three chestnuts lined up on top. It's a friendly type of bread that is suitable for those who like chestnuts. The Cream Pan is also a friendly and versatile option that is liked by everyone. The Marguerite is an interesting twist on the Melon Pan, with cookie dough wrapped in bread dough. Overall, my visit to Kimuraya brought back nostalgic feelings, and I enjoyed the simple and cozy atmosphere of the bakery.

Cream bread, melon bread made with a different dough than the typical one. Cream bread seems to be a favorite for those who like it, as it quickly disappears. I bought it at Daimaru Umeda in the evening. It was delicious.

Sogo Yokohama's event: Matcha Milk France -> Matcha Milk France with rich matcha flavor and fluffy condensed milk-like milk was the best ever. Looking forward to trying Curry Pan Donut (round type with sugar coating) next.

The cream-filled bread with condensed milk was delicious and had just the right amount of sweetness as I imagined!

Both the Venetian and Anpan pastries are delicious! They have a sweet and gentle taste. I wish they would open a store in Umeda. I also want to try their bread! It makes a great souvenir too!
