Marjolaine (600 yen) ☆4.3 The upper layer consists of a thick and delicious cream with a rich ganache bitterness and almond flavor from the biscuit. The cream is incredibly tasty, smooth, rich, and has a milky aroma without being too heavy. The lower layer has a delicious praline cream that is smooth with a rich nutty flavor, mixed with ganache and almond biscuit. This Marjolaine might even surpass my previous favorite, Obonvuutan. While Obonvuutan has a more classical and deep flavor, this one is simply delicious with high-quality ingredients. Anfan 500 ☆3.7 The milk chocolate mousse is silky smooth and slowly melts in your mouth sensually, with a hint of bitter and alluring caramel cream in the middle. The bottom biscuit has a good cocoa flavor, but the texture was a bit inconsistent, which was surprising. These heavy mousse cakes are not common in Tokyo, but this one has a depth of flavor that is intriguing. Timutt (500 yen) ☆4.2 Unlike Anfan, this chocolate mousse melts smoothly and has an excellent cocoa flavor using Brazilian cocoa, giving off a grapefruit-like fruity bitterness. The aroma is fantastic with hints of Sichuan pepper, creating a lovely depth. The chef at L'Atelier Hirowakisaka in Musashi-Kosugi comes from Naka-Nakata, and I was already impressed by Hirowakisaka's chocolate cake, so I had high expectations. The cake exceeded my expectations and left me completely satisfied.

It's been about a year since I visited Nakatani-tei! The prices are as follows: Calive 702 yen, Gateau Basque 594 yen, Rum Coco 702 yen, Tart aux Fruits 842 yen, Enfant 594 yen, and Paradis 756 yen. The standout chocolate cake at Nakatani-tei is Calive, with its shiny, rich-looking black appearance. Despite its appearance, the texture and flavor are smooth and gentle, which is quite impressive! Gateau Basque has a creamy filling with a hint of alcohol, making it a sophisticated cake. Then there's Rum Coco, with a cube shape and surrounded by thin layers of chocolate. The flavor of rum and coconut was new to me and it was sweet and delicious, perfect with coffee. From rich chocolates and caramels to classic fruit and cream cakes, Nakatani-tei offers a variety of beautiful and enticing options, making it difficult to choose each time. A delightful dilemma!

This is my second visit. It was quite crowded even on a weekday evening, but it wasn't too busy for purchasing or dining in. The dining area doesn't have a relaxed atmosphere like a cafe, which might be why. It's nice that there are still plenty of cakes available in the evening. I was impressed by the chocolate cake called Calibe, which was the most popular last time, but this time I tried a cake called Rum Coco, which has a rum and coconut flavor. The cake is surrounded by a thin layer of chocolate on all sides. The chocolate is delicious as always, and the cake is also delicious. Personally, I think it's the best cake shop in Osaka. I heard someone say that when you come here to eat cake, you should order two pieces, and I understand why because the sweetness is not heavy at all.

This was my first time visiting this place, located just a few minutes' walk from Osaka Hommachi Station. Upon entering, I was asked if I wanted to take out or dine in. I chose a cake from the showcase, paid at the counter, and then enjoyed it in the seating area at the back. I had the Calive, a bitter chocolate cake that was sweet but not overly so, with a smooth texture that melts in your mouth. The Anfan (milk chocolate cake) I ordered was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the nuts on top added a nice touch. I wanted to try the choux cream as well, but I had dinner plans later so I had to pass this time. Even though I had already ordered, I was intrigued by the Kekk・Aprimac in the showcase next to the counter. I would love to visit again in the future.

I visited this famous place for the first time. I happened to pass by after lunch and found that the cafe space was available, so I went in. Of course, the cake I was looking for was there! It was so rich and delicious, perfect for chocolate lovers. I couldn't help but say how satisfying it was. I feel like I want to eat it every day! I will definitely go back again.

Admired shop ( ´,,•ω•,,`)♡ If you love chocolate cake, you must have heard of this extremely famous shop! ■ Caramelive ¥702 I'm not an expert on cocoa, just a cake lover, so I don't understand complicated things, but I can tell that the cocoa flavor is rich. Simply put, it's a bitter chocolate mousse, or rather, a cocoa mousse. Definitely geared towards adults. The chocolate ganache on top was also incredibly delicious~ ■ Rum Coco ¥702 Since it's white chocolate, it's quite sweet♡ The unique texture and aroma of coconut go really well together~ Delicious~ Some might find it too sweet, but I love white chocolate, so I enjoyed it. The coconut chocolate topping was also delicious without a doubt. ■ Coffee Jelly ¥594 I chose this because it uses the coffee from the yard café I want to visit. After the sweetness of the Rum Coco, the bitterness of the coffee was an excellent combination. It was refreshing and good. The eat-in space is quite spacious. Since it's a high-end cake shop, it may be a bit intimidating for everyday use, but I really want to try the cream puffs that sell out in the morning ♥︎

I tried a bite of Murang Shanti, and as someone who prefers desserts with less sweetness, my initial reaction was "too sweet." However, as I continued eating, the greatness of the dessert became more apparent. The pure white Murang Shanti had beautiful curves of meringue and cream, with a crispy texture and a wonderful melt-in-your-mouth sensation that didn't require much chewing. The fig tart, which I initially mistook for custard cream, actually had a subtle caramel cream that paired perfectly with the fig, all held together by a salty pie crust. Each component was unique in flavor and presentation, but they all came together harmoniously. The highlight was the Calibe chocolate cake, which despite its rich chocolate flavor, had a surprisingly refreshing aftertaste. It was a chocolate lover's dream with chocolate sponge cake as the base, chocolate mousse inside, and a soft chocolate coating, all without feeling heavy. The shop also offered several cheese-based products, including a must-try cheese cake that showcased the richness of the cheese. Each cake had its own distinct characteristics, allowing customers to enjoy a variety of delicious flavors in one shop.

I visited the store for the first time around 12:00 on Sunday. I was able to enter the store immediately without waiting in line. Some cakes seemed to be sold out, but all of them looked delicious! - Mont Chantilly: It crumbled as soon as I put it in my mouth, so sweet! It was a bit too sweet for me, but it disappeared before I knew it. Delicious. - Calibe: I like the appearance of Calibe and often buy it, but I often get tired of its richness. However, the Calibe here is well-balanced! I finished it before I knew it. Delicious. - Fig Millefeuille: It was exquisite! The balance of taste and texture is outstanding. - Fromage: I don't like cheesecake, but this one is delicious! - Banana and Coconut Tart: It's on the sweeter side because of the banana, but the balance is still good. The crispy texture of the tart, the texture of coconut... it satisfied my texture fetish. As expected! It has been selected as one of the top 100 stores for many years, truly a "skilled famous store"!! I will definitely come back again.

This was my first time having cake at a cafe. Before that, it was always in a hotel room or at home. The cake here, enjoyed in a nice environment with delicious coffee, was amazing. The balance of sweetness, richness, everything was wonderful. It's a cake that you can eat one after another without any effort. It's like a piece of art.

A popular cake shop near Osaka Uehommachi Station. It's just a short walk away. The most popular item here seems to be the "Calibe" chocolate cake. So I visited aiming for that today. So today I aimed for Calibe and ate in. ⭐️Calibe ¥702 ⭐️Cherry Millefeuille ¥810 ⭐️Apple juice ⭐️Calibe looks small and cute. It's almost black in color, not really chocolate color! You can tell it's rich and creamy at first glance. And the taste is... The chocolate is rich and smooth. You can feel a good balance of sweetness and a hint of the bitter taste of cocoa. It's delicious! They say they use Calibe chocolate here. I've never had anything better than this chocolate mousse! It's a chocolate lover's dream! It's rich but not too heavy. ⭐️Cherry Millefeuille This one also looks cute. It's made with puff pastry, cherries, and custard cream. It's cute, but how do you eat it? The puff pastry is crispy, and the cherries and custard create a great harmony! The custard is the key to the deliciousness of the Millefeuille. It has a good egg flavor without overpowering the cherries. I will definitely go back.

On Sunday at 4:30 PM, the Calive was sold out, so I tried the rich cocoa-flavored chocolate from "Nakatani-tei" in the form of a Chocolat au Chocolat and was satisfied (^O^). The Chantilly (cake) had a delicious base and a light cream that balanced well, and the vibrant fruits were juicy, fresh, and delicious (＾∀＾)

I visited the restaurant first thing in the morning, but there was already a line before it opened. It seems like they also offer reservations, and some items were already sold out. I purchased the popular mini choux cream, as there were only 9 left, I bought them all. They are bite-sized and perfect for snacking, definitely a great gift idea!

When I requested that I wanted to eat cake, my boyfriend found this place for us to visit. We arrived on a Sunday around 3:15 pm and the shop had a few customers but we were able to enter smoothly. The cakes all looked delicious and it was hard to choose. I had the Calive and Mona Lisa, while my boyfriend had Murang Shanti and Timlett. I had apple juice and he had iced coffee. We paid with cash as they didn't accept Amex. We took our cakes to the seating area at the back and enjoyed them. The Calive was a classic chocolate cake, while the Mona Lisa was an interesting cake that tasted like tiramisu. Murang Shanti had a unique appearance and simple but delicious meringue and cream layers. Timlett had a hint of Sichuan pepper flavor, which was interesting and suited the cake well. Overall, all the cakes were delicious, but my boyfriend's choices were more to my liking. The shop started to fill up as we left around 4 pm. The Anchois pastry we bought was also incredibly delicious, with a light pastry and a strong anchovy flavor. I will definitely buy it again next time. It was a great find and I would love to visit again in the future. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

I predicted that it would be crowded, so I arrived at around 1 pm, but I was able to enter without waiting in line. It started to get crowded around 2 pm. Anyway, it was incredibly delicious. My family chose chocolate desserts, so I chose the seasonal American cherry mille-feuille. The pie crust, custard, and cherries were amazing! Osaka's cakes are really top-notch. I felt like I could eat about 10 of them.

Smooth and delicious!! The chocolate sweetness is just right, not too overwhelming, and it looks cute. I wish they could do something about the hotness of the cup for the blended tea... The seating area is surprisingly spacious, and the atmosphere is nice. I'm curious about trying out other cakes as well.

I recommend the square cake coated with white chocolate. When I had leftover fruit that was recommended, I found this place by searching for "Chocolate Top 100 Stores". Even though I'm not a fan of fruit, the cake was really delicious. The chocolate wasn't the main attraction for me, but I would definitely visit this shop again. Thank you for reading until the end. Likes, saves, and follows are appreciated. My main focus is on South Osaka (Sakai, Habikino, Matsubara, Shinsaibashi area). I enjoy visiting Michelin-starred restaurants and top-rated eateries. If you don't want to "fail" when dining out, please consider following me.

I went to a place called Notakata-tei after having lunch nearby and searched for "sweets" for the first time! The store seemed to serve cakes starting from 12 o'clock, so we chose three different types to share. First, we had the "Enfant," a milk chocolate mousse with caramel cream sandwiched inside. It was soft and creamy from the first bite. Then, we tried the "Rum Coco," a white chocolate and coconut mousse with old rum cream. I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I love white chocolate, so I chose it without hesitation. The crispy chocolate around the square cake combined perfectly with the cream inside. The coconut flavor was not overpowering, and the subtle taste made me start to like coconut a bit. Lastly, we had the "Meringue Chantilly," a cream with white waves made of meringue and Chantilly cream. It was described as a simple French treat, but it was far from simple! The combination of the crunchy meringue and creamy Chantilly was amazing. On the way back, I couldn't help but wonder how much time it takes to make such cakes. The intricate layers and delicate work involved in cake making are truly impressive. Thank you for the delicious treats!

I visited before noon on a weekday. The cafe space was set to open at 12 o'clock, so I waited inside for a bit. This patisserie is a representative of Osaka, having produced many popular shops. The interior had four 4-person tables and a large table with 10 seats. The stylish and calm atmosphere allowed for a relaxed time. I ordered the "Caribe 705 yen" and "Iced tea 660 yen" this time. The cafe space operates on a self-service basis. The Caribe is said to be a signature menu item here. The mousse made with cacao from the Caribbean islands was rich and had a good mouthfeel, with a strong cacao aroma. It was slightly bitter, giving an impression of an adult dessert. The nuts on top were a nice touch, but overall, I felt it was a bit monotonous. The popularity of the visually appealing cake and the pleasant atmosphere of the shop were evident. However, to be honest, while it was delicious, it wasn't particularly outstanding. Thank you for the meal.

As a renowned chocolatier in Osaka, the pioneering shop Kakao stands out. Their Bean to Bar concept, focusing on single origin cacao, is unique and rare to find even today. The chef's dedication to bringing out the individual characteristics of each cacao terroir in their cakes and chocolates is exceptional. The coffee served is quite acidic, which pairs well with the cacao-based cakes. They even gave me a pound cake as a bonus (*´꒳`*) Thank you! Today's cakes were: - Souffle: Smooth and velvety texture with a perfect balance of cacao and vanilla flavors. It was a surprising and delicious treat, unlike any souffle I've had before. - Caribe: This cake truly showcases the excellence of cacao. The pleasant bitterness and robust acidity are complemented by a lingering aroma, followed by the sweetness and flavor of chocolate. The balance is impeccable, reaching a high level of perfection. Words cannot describe how delicious it was. Overall, the cakes were incredibly delicious, and it's no wonder this place is considered a top-notch establishment. Simply outstanding!

On this day, I had a day trip to Osaka for business. My meeting was scheduled for 3 p.m., so I arrived in Osaka early to enjoy some food. I had lunch at Ubarasan, a noodle workshop in Uehonmachi, and my stomach was already full. But since I was already there, I decided to visit another place. Across from Ubarasan, on the other side of Osaka Uehonmachi Station (towards Shinkabukiza), is Nakatanitei, a sweets shop that is listed as one of the top 100 sweets shops. This shop is known for giving out cookies as souvenirs, and I have received them before. When I saw the name "Tei," I thought it would be a friendly, Osaka-style shop, but to my surprise, it was a trendy sweets shop! I arrived at the shop around 2 p.m. on a weekday. As I entered, the shop was divided into sections for cakes, baked goods, chocolates, and an eat-in area. I expressed my desire to eat in and started looking at the cakes. There were many chocolate-based options, so I chose a cake called Marjolaine. I wanted to try two cakes, including a chocolate one, but I was already full, so I settled for one. I also ordered iced tea. I carried my tray to the eat-in area, where there was a large table in the middle and a few smaller tables by the window and wall. Since only the large table was available, I sat there. The Marjolaine cake had crushed chocolate on the sides, ganache chocolate at the bottom, almond sponge around it, whipped cream on top, and praline cream at the bottom. The two creams were fluffy, and the milk, caramel, and chocolate flavors mixed well in my mouth. It was not too fancy but had a simple and friendly taste. I finished it quickly because it was so delicious! Next time, I want to try a chocolate cake. Thank you for the meal!

Calive - Coffee Jelly for 648 yen Calive is a well-known cake shop in Osaka. Their most popular item, Calive, never fails to impress with its deliciousness. The chocolate is incredibly rich, yet not overwhelming, making it the best chocolate cake. Try Calive once and you'll be hooked.
