While killing time before a comedy show, I decided to visit the 551 Horumon (offal) restaurant alone. On the way, I saw a magazine featuring a snack called "Tsuki Kesho," so I bought two freshly baked snacks to see if they would make good souvenirs. I had a snack outside before the comedy show. The snack was crispy on the outside, not moist, more like a crunchy texture than a chewy one. It wasn't exactly to my liking, so I just kept it as a snack. I'm not sure if the cold version would be more crunchy like the snack I had. I initially thought it would be more like Fukuoka's traditional street food, but it turned out to be a bit different from what I expected. Perhaps the cold version would actually be more delicious.

I tried the freshly baked tsukishoku and it was delicious! Just be careful, it's really hot because it's freshly baked! The shop also has a dining area.

Located a 3-minute walk from Namba Station on the Nankai Line, this traditional Japanese confectionery shop is situated in the Namba Nankai Shotengai shopping street. It specializes in selling the Japanese sweets "Milk Manju Tsukigeshou" produced by Aoki Shofuan. Aoki Shofuan is a confectionery maker based in Osaka and Wakayama, with 27 stores currently operating. The "Milk Manju Tsukigeshou" was first released in 2010 as a popular souvenir from Osaka, and has since sold over 100 million pieces, becoming a well-known Osaka souvenir. The high quality of the products, made with domestic ingredients, has been recognized with the Gold Award at the international quality evaluation institution "Monde Selection" for three consecutive years from 2011, and has continued to win the Grand Gold Award for 10 consecutive years from 2014 to the present. In addition, at the 26th National Confectionery Exhibition in Hiroshima in 2013, it was honored with the Prime Minister's Award, receiving high praise both domestically and internationally. This shop offers a variety of limited edition items such as freshly baked manju and "naka" (filled) manju in addition to the "Milk Manju Tsukigeshou". The "Milk Manju Tsukigeshou" is a Western-style Japanese confectionery made with two types of blended beans, milk, and butter, designed to be easy for foreigners unfamiliar with bean paste to eat. It has a moist texture and moderate sweetness that is very pleasant, making it a great choice for tea time or souvenirs. The "freshly baked" version available only at this store and factory is exceptionally delicious with a very soft filling. The "Tsukigeshou Soft (Mix)" combines vanilla and matcha flavors, with the bitterness of matcha and the sweetness of vanilla complementing each other well. The unique touch of the cookie on top adds to the overall experience. I loved the melt-in-your-mouth texture of the "freshly baked" version so much that I ended up buying more after finishing it. I highly recommend trying it if you happen to pass by. The factory in Hannan apparently offers free tours of the manufacturing process, so I would love to visit if I have the chance. Thank you for the delicious experience.

"Tsukikaeshi (6 pieces for ¥864) is a cute and round snack. I like traditional sweets, so I was curious and decided to buy it. It's moist and you can taste the sweetness and richness of condensed milk. It has a Western-style twist to a traditional Japanese sweet, and it's a flavor that makes you crave it from time to time. Thank you for the meal."

I always thought it wasn't worth trying, but wow, it's delicious! Freshly baked, the anko (sweet red bean paste) is so creamy and the buttery aroma spreads, making me so happy. It's bite-sized so it's filling but perfect for when you just want a little something sweet. The shop is a bit small but you can have free tea and there are a few seats, making it great for a quick break. You must try this when you come to Osaka. You can buy happiness for 140 yen. Yay!

I visited the limited-time product of the freshly baked Tsukigeshiki Namba store around 3 pm on a weekday. Despite being in a warming case like other hot snacks outside the store, I tried the "freshly baked" product. Even so, I could feel the crispiness on the outside of the dough, and both the texture and taste were different from usual. The warm bean paste was also delicious. It's GOOD.

I wanted to eat freshly baked Tsukigakushi, so I waited in front of the store before it opened. Tsukigakushi is a popular Osaka souvenir, a milk bun that I love. I didn't know there was a shop nearby where I could eat freshly baked ones! When you break open the hot bun, the milk filling is so creamy and delicious that it makes you feel so happy. Even though it's delicious when not freshly baked, the freshly baked ones have a different kind of deliciousness, like "raw Tsukigakushi", with a luxurious taste. It's also nice that you can enjoy warm tea inside the shop. There were other people waiting for the shop to open like us, as well as those buying 30 freshly baked buns at once, showing the shop's quiet popularity. I also love factory tours, so I would like to visit the Tsukigakushi Factory as well.

I found out that I could eat freshly baked Tsukishoku (moon-shaped sweet) only at the Namba Main Store, so I went there right away. It costs 140 yen each, and I'm happy that you can buy just one! The freshly baked Tsukishoku was warm, the dough had a simple taste like boro (a type of snack), but the filling inside was so smooth and delicious! It was even better than I imagined. If you go on a trip to Osaka, be sure to try it out!

You can order the popular Osaka souvenir "Tsukigesho" freshly baked from a directly operated specialty store, making it perfect for eating on the go! This shop is operated by Aoki Shofuan Co., Ltd., established on October 16, 1985. The same entity has a total of 27 directly operated stores in the Osaka area and 8 stores in the Wakayama area. In addition to traditional Japanese sweets, they also offer over 100 types of seasonal Japanese and Western confectioneries such as "Milk Manju Tsukigesho" and the original Kansai-style strawberry daifuku "Oshare". You can also shop online on their website and learn about factory tours. The shop opened on July 15, 2017, and is located along Namba Nankai Street at COFFEE SANBASHI. The nearest station is Namba Station, just a 1-minute walk from the north exit on the first floor. While takeout is the main focus, there is a small seating area for about 3 people. The recommended menu item to order is the popular "Freshly Baked Tsukigesho" - a hot Tsukigesho manju baked in the shop's oven. The skin is crispy, and the filling inside is smooth and creamy! Be sure to try the unique texture that can only be experienced when freshly baked. This is a limited edition item only available at the Namba store, so be sure to visit when you're in the Namba area.【Order】Freshly Baked Tsukigesho 140 yen

I love the milk manju (sweet bun) at this place, and you can eat it freshly baked! I heard from Myレビ that they open at 11 am, so I went there, but they were closed. Apparently, they can't sell the manju right after opening because the oven hasn't warmed up yet. They also have chilled manju, which is delicious when frozen and the filling becomes crunchy. I'll definitely come back for the freshly baked ones. Update: I went back the next day and got the freshly baked manju! You can even enjoy it with a cup of tea inside the store. It's self-service with paper cups, but it's nice to have the hot manju right there.

The milk manju in Osaka is called "Tsukigesho". There are similar ones available nationwide, but Tsukigesho is considered a popular souvenir from Osaka. I thought it was only for people coming from afar, so I didn't buy it for years. However, about 5 years ago, I found one being sold individually at Tennoji Station and tried it for the first time. I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was, not losing to those from other prefectures. I later discovered a place in Namba where they sell freshly baked Tsukigesho. It seems like they bake them in an oven at the back of the store. The ones I got were still hot! They were baking them on a large tray in batches of 5 at a time, so they were almost freshly baked. The milky and buttery aroma was delightful. I wondered if it was worth buying as a souvenir, so I decided to just eat them on the spot. The regular Tsukigesho they sell might also taste great when warmed up. They also offer complimentary self-service tea (hot or cold green tea and roasted green tea). The freshly baked Tsukigesho costs 140 yen.

I visited the Namba store with the intention of trying the freshly baked "Tsukigeshou" for 130 yen, which is only available at this location. Luckily, I was able to get one that had been baked for about 5 minutes! The regular Tsukigeshou has a moist skin and smooth red bean paste inside, but the freshly baked one has a crispy skin and a creamy red bean paste. It was piping hot, and I could taste the strong flavors of butter and the sweetness of milk even more. ( ́•ૢ⌔•ૢ ̀)♡

I visited in November 2021 and the Food Log rating at the time was 3.38. The moon makeup of Iio Jyemon was delicious. I have the utmost respect for all the ingredients I encountered. Thank you for the meal.

One of Osaka's classic souvenirs, the milk manju "Tsukigesho" from Aoki Shofu-an. This renowned confection has won the highest gold award at the Mond Selection for 8 consecutive years! - Date of Use: Saturday (Takeout) - Reservation: No reservation required, no waiting - Occasion: With family - Cost: Up to ¥1,000 - Food: Freshly baked Tsukigesho with a meltingly smooth texture and a gentle milky sweetness. The creamy hot taste that can only be enjoyed when freshly baked is irresistibly delicious. The faint aroma of milk and butter is also superb. - Menu: - Freshly baked Tsukigesho ¥130 - Service: Very polite service - Atmosphere: While there are long benches lined up, it doesn't feel like a place for dining in, more like a place to enjoy a quick snack. It's nice that they provide tea as well! - Value for money: Fairly priced - Revisit: ★★★★☆ A must-stop for Osaka souvenirs!

I went shopping at the supermarket and found the Tsukigesho (Moon Makeup) that I often saw in commercials. I decided to buy one and enjoy it at home. It cost around 130 yen per piece. The smooth white bean paste was wrapped in a soft and gentle skin, providing a milky melt-in-your-mouth experience. It was a sweet treat that goes well with both tea and coffee, perfect for any occasion. Trying out that familiar snack from the commercials was quite satisfying! Tsukigesho has a nice name and it was a delightful experience to finally taste it.

Actually, I had never eaten Tsukigeshou's sablé before. It was much more delicious than I had imagined. I thought it was just a regular sablé, but of course, it's Tsukigeshou! There was a creamy filling sandwiched inside, which was a pleasant surprise. I definitely want to eat it again.

I visited the popular milk manju shop near Namba Station and bought a freshly baked manju for 130 yen. The service of having a hot water dispenser was nice. The freshly baked manju was soft and fluffy, with a slightly crispy edge. The filling inside was thick and delicious. It was a delightful experience to have it freshly baked. It was delicious!

"I've never seen anything other than milk flavor before." That day, I saw matcha-flavored steamed buns collaborated with "Itoen" at this store. Here at "Tsukigeshou," they also offer sablé and monaka in addition to steamed buns, all of which were previously milk-flavored. However, as I passed by the store that day, matcha-flavored steamed buns were displayed at the storefront. Moreover, the matcha used is from the well-known Kyoto tea shop "Fukujuen," also known as "Itoen." This was introduced as a commemoration of the opening of the "Tsukigeshou Factory," the factory of Osaka's "Aoki Shoufuan," which produces milk steamed buns "Tsukigeshou." Initially, being a traditional Japanese confectionery shop in Osaka, if they were to use tea, it would be more Osaka-like to use tea from a tea shop in Osaka like "Tsuboichi Seicha Honpo." Moreover, using the name "Itoen" would require negotiations with "Suntory," which must have been quite challenging. However, on the other hand, the fact that they were so particular about using "Itoen" matcha suggests a strong desire to make delicious sweets using high-quality matcha rather than cheap ones. In fact, from what I heard from an acquaintance who used to work in the confectionery industry, there are many challenges when it comes to using tea in sweets, such as changes in color and flavor. This time, I purchased several "Itoen Tsukigeshou" and tried them later, and I felt that the tea flavor was strong, and the combination of milk's richness and matcha's slight bitterness was exquisitely matched. I personally think that this "Itoen Tsukigeshou" this time is a product that does not disgrace the name of "Itoen," skillfully bringing out the tea flavor. It may be rare to have a matcha-flavored milk steamed bun rather than just a matcha steamed bun, so if you have the opportunity, please try it along with the regular "Tsukigeshou."
