After enjoying delicious ramen at "Ramen Igami," I stopped by "Financier And Honey." This shop is run by a honey company and specializes in financiers, which is quite unique. I ordered the Honey Financier [Plain + Dates] for 560 yen, choosing the freshly baked "Plain" one and the pre-packaged "Dates" one. I also added a castella cake that was being sold for 500 yen due to its near expiration date. Back at home, I enjoyed them as dessert. The financiers had a rich honey flavor, with the Plain one melting in my mouth and the Dates one offering a unique texture. The castella cake was fluffy with a nice texture. I finished it all with a cup of coffee, feeling content. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. The journey there was worth it, with no regrets.

This shop specializes in honey and offers honey produced in Osaka. There were various products available, but I purchased several types of financiers: caramel lemon, coffee, chocolate, black cocoa, and plain, each priced at 280 yen. I also bought a honey lemon candy for 410 yen. The financiers had a gentle sweetness and a subtle aftertaste, making them all delicious. I plan to visit again to buy some honey next time.

No one was going to explore the new restaurant, but it was discovered by chance behind the Umeda Sky Building in the redevelopment area of ​​Kita-Umeda. The shop sells honey and baked goods made with honey, mainly for takeout. They have beehives on the rooftop of a building in Umeda and currently sell their products at hotels and wine shops in Osaka. I tried their financiers, which had a strong honey flavor and were delicious. They also make high-quality castella cakes. It seems like a hidden gem and a great place for gifts. Just be cautious if you have a baby, as it may not be suitable for them. It's a great find and worth a visit.

On March 31, 2023, I visited a shop in the middle of Nakatsu, Fukushima, and Umeda, located on the west side of the Sky Building in Oyodo-naka, where honey sweets made from urban beekeeping honey are sold. They offer a variety of treats such as financiers, rusks, canelés, kinpaitō (crunchy sugar candy), honey nuts, and raw honey, but the standout item is the "Premium Honey Castella" that I purchased on this occasion. This castella is made using honey collected by urban beekeepers who work on the rooftops of buildings in Osaka, and crafted by a traditional Osaka castella artisan using a challenging method called "5:3 baking." The ratio of egg yolk to egg white is 5:3, with a higher amount of egg yolk used to create a rich and flavorful castella. The color is more yellow, the texture is moist, and it falls into the high-end category of castella. Unlike other shops that use sugar or caramel for sweetness, this shop uses a generous amount of honey, resulting in an elegant sweetness. However, please note that it contains eggs and wheat, so those with allergies should avoid it, as well as children under 1 year old due to the honey content. The castella is vacuum-packed in eight slices, priced at 2700 yen in a paper box and 3000 yen in a wooden box. Although it may seem expensive compared to regular castella, the shop also sells "Premium Honey Castella" nearing its expiration date at less than 1/3 of the price. These discounted items have a limited quantity and tend to sell out quickly after the shop opens around 11 am. The rich and moist texture of this castella will make you rediscover the deliciousness of castella. It's not a fluffy castella, but a chewy one. After tasting it, you'll think, "I didn't know castella could be this delicious." #Nakatsu #Castella #OsakaHoney

Long time no see! I'm posting while wondering if it's okay... I haven't really researched the shop information, but oh well. It's a gift from my daughter. Maybe for Valentine's Day? It's my favorite. Baumkuchen and castella are my favorites. Thank you very much. I will enjoy it deliciously.

I had never been to this shop before, even though I passed by it often. It had always caught my attention. I was looking for a gift and finally had the chance to visit. I bought a set of 5 financiers for the gift and 2 financiers and jam for myself. I asked for recommendations and got a classic financier (forgot the name) and a matcha financier for myself, which was delicious. The jam I got was made with lemon and honey, and it was light and tasty. I even tried mixing it with sparkling water, and it was delicious. They have different flavors depending on the season, so I look forward to going back to try more. The shop is located past the Umeda Sky Building, so it's not as crowded as other places in the area. The girls who were there before me seemed like new customers, while the gentleman who came in later seemed like a regular. It felt like a shop known to those in the know. They also sold expensive honey, which I couldn't afford to buy. It would be nice to receive it as a gift though. Overall, the prices are a bit high, but for those looking for delicious honey, it might be worth a visit.

It is located near Umeda Sky Building. My family bought it for me. I tried the Financier Cheese Fromage for 280 yen. The cheese has a blue mold. It is mixed into the Financier in a dotted pattern, leaving a hint of blue. I enjoyed the aroma of the cheese.
