You can enjoy not only castella but also original sweets made with castella. When I passed by the shop after a long time, they were selling a chocolate version of castella parfait. It seems to be a Valentine's Day limited edition product. Today...

I stopped by here to take a little break while walking along Shinsaibashi-suji. It started raining as I arrived, so it was perfect to be under the arcade. - Mixed juice: 700 yen - Freshly baked castella set with iced cafe au lait: 730 yen The mixed juice was delicious, it's been a while since I had one! The castella was also freshly made and tasty! It paired well with the mixed juice! I had a nice relaxing time.

The other day, I met up with a friend who came from Tokyo in Shinsaibashi. We were meeting after a long time, so I decided to give them a souvenir. I found a traditional castella shop in Shinsaibashi and decided to buy a recommended set in silver packaging. It included Osaka's famous castella and Osaka tourist stickers, which could be used separately. The description was in a foreign language, but it seemed to be a variety set. I hope my friend, who has young children, will enjoy the castella.

I received a half-size Castella 21 (594 yen) from my relatives. It is made by a Castella specialty store and has a different taste and texture compared to others. It has a moist texture, elegant sweetness, and a moderate amount of sugar crystals, offering a classic Castella flavor. It is already sliced, making it easy to share, which is great for enjoying with family.

While feeling unsure about how to use my Osaka Pay, I decided to visit this shop. There were long lines for pork buns and cheesecakes, but no line here. Perhaps because this shop doesn't have the Osaka vibe in its Western sweets. I didn't want to carry a lot, so I bought a box of freshly baked castella (4 pieces for 468 yen). The good thing about baked sweets is that they can be kept at room temperature. When I got home and tried it, it was just right in sweetness, firmness, and the crunchiness of the sugar. It was really delicious! I wonder why there are so few reviews for such a good-tasting place in such a great location. It may not be flashy and may not be featured in Bib Gourmand, but it was truly a tasty castella. If I were a certain country influencer, I would make it go viral. Well, I will definitely buy it again myself.

There is a well-known long-established shop with a large sign in the Shinsaibashi-suji shopping street. They sell Castella cake cut-offs irregularly, which I always buy because I love the chewy texture. I also found out about a Castella cake parfait available at their cafe on the second floor, which I want to try next time.

After meeting with friends in Shinsaibashi, we had some time before our drinking party, so we decided to kill time in a cafe. It was an old-fashioned castella cake shop that I've known since I was a child. We thought of having castella cake and drinks on the second floor cafe, but we were surprised by the wide variety of menu options available. Surprisingly, they had recently launched a castella cake parfait. We were all intrigued, so we ordered the parfait together. It was a voluminous parfait with strawberries, candy, and vanilla ice cream combined. The height was about 25cm, and it had more volume than we expected. The taste was delicious with castella cake inside, and the combination of the cake, whipped cream, and ice cream was excellent. They also had other options like castella cake sets and pudding, with plenty of menu variations. I think next time I'll try the pudding. #Castella #ShinsaibashiCafe #ShinsaibashiParfait #ShinsaibashiSweets #ShinsaibashiDessert #ShinsaibashiCoffeeShop #ShinsaibashiRetroCafe #CastellaParfait #OsakaCafe #CastellaGinsou #Ginsou #OsakaSouvenir

I came to Ginno Sato to buy souvenirs because I couldn't use up the coupon I received in Osaka. I visited almost right after the store opened, but there were already two other customers with the same purpose. Ginno Sato's castella in Osaka is a well-known traditional store. They cut the castella into pieces and individually wrap them for easy consumption, which is unique to this shop. The castella here is moist and not too sweet, which I like. While the regular castella is delicious, they also have seasonal variations. Currently, they have chestnut castella, which has a delightful texture with pieces of chestnut inside. Next season, they will have black bean castella, which is also delicious, but right now they have Marron Glace. I enjoy resetting my day by starting with the morning sun, and I want to reset each season by enjoying seasonal treats.

As I was walking along the Shinsaibashi shopping street, I came across this shop right in the middle. It is a long-established castella specialty maker founded in 1952! Today, they were offering freshly baked castella for takeout! The staff told me that they bake it every day in the oven that sits at the back of the store. It was fluffy with a moist and mildly sweet taste. And the price was very affordable! It makes a great souvenir from Osaka. Thank you for the delicious treat.

Founded on August 21, 1952 in Shinsaibashi, Osaka, this castella specialty store is known as "Ginsou". The name comes from the founder's desire to always aim higher, choosing silver (2nd place) over gold (1st place). Product: - Castella 11 (Red Box Half): ¥648 - Length: about 12cm - Width: about 7.3cm - Height: about 5cm - Weight: about 163g - Ingredients: eggs, sugar, flour, water syrup, skim milk powder, honey, butter, milk - Calories: 111kcal per slice (34g) Castella 11, also known as the "Red Box", was released in 1966, two years after the popular Castella 21, also known as the "Blue Box". The Red Box contains less sugar than the Blue Box and has a light and soft texture with a hint of egg yolk and honey. It is cut into 5 slices and packaged accordingly. Castella 21, the Blue Box, is known for its fine texture and subtle sweetness. It is also cut into 5 slices and offers a delicate and elegant taste. Both castellas are made using fresh eggs, high-quality sugar, premium flour, pure honey, and a unique castella-making method. Overall, these castellas from Ginsou are elegant and refined, offering a different experience compared to other castellas.

Located right by Shinsaibashi Station, this castella cake shop is truly magical on Tabelog (Japanese restaurant review site). I've discovered the joy of reviewing and my range of visited restaurants has expanded significantly! I'm having so much fun with Tabelog activities. Now I can go anywhere by myself! I purchased a 4-piece castella cake for 400 yen here. It has a shelf life of 4-5 days and can be stored at room temperature. The castella cake is fluffy, moist, and the coarse sugar topping is the best part! I ate three pieces and thought one more would be too much, so I saved one for another day. It was incredibly delicious! It's easy to manage and would make a great gift. Thank you for the meal!

I received a freshly baked castella cake. Castella cake is really delicious with lots of sugar granules on top. It's so good, but I feel like I need something to drink with it or I might choke. I wonder where that person bought it for me. They like the Hanshin Tigers, so maybe it's from the Hanshin Department Store. I looked it up and found out that the main store of GINSO is in Shinsaibashi, founded in 1952. That's amazing. Oh, it says here that the freshly baked castella cake is only sold at the Shinsaibashi main store, Floride House (Hagoromo Factory direct store), and the Shonan Fujisawa Factory direct store. It's made by skilled castella artisans every day, carefully baked to be "soft, moist, and finely textured" in each batch. That's really exciting. I wonder how much it costs. It's 432 yen. That's just right for a souvenir.

Castella is typically enjoyed after being left overnight, but this freshly baked castella seems to have a policy of being eaten on the same day it's baked. I ordered the freshly baked castella set at two cafes and enjoyed it with black tea. It had a high-level, well-balanced taste, with a buttery flavor that gave it a Western confectionery feel. While it contains sugar crystals, it differs in flavor from traditional Nagasaki castella. It's not like the castella found in Japanese sweets, but it's a good option for enjoying castella at a cafe.

I went alone on a weekday morning to the main store and factory of "Kamodashi Castella," a special castella cake that is only sold in three stores nationwide. The ingredients are simple: eggs, sugar, flour, corn syrup, honey, butter, and milk. The cakes are hand-baked using traditional methods to maintain the original taste from when the company was founded. Only veteran castella artisans with over 30 years of experience are allowed to make these cakes. As soon as you open the bag, a rich aroma fills the air, making it clear that this castella is delicious even before you take a bite. The texture of the cake is a perfect balance of softness and moisture, and the rich flavor of the eggs is truly delightful. Unlike other castella cakes that can be dense and chewy, this one has a surprisingly smooth and pleasant mouthfeel. I love it. This is a famous castella specialty shop in Osaka that was established in 1952. I used to think that all castella cakes were the same, but now I realize how wrong I was. It has been a while since I had such a delicious castella cake. I highly recommend "Kamodashi Castella"!

I recently found out that a long-established shop across from Daimaru Shinsaibashi has a cafe on the second floor, so I finally went there. The atmosphere of the old-fashioned shop was nice, and the plain castella was a good deal. I chose the castella made with marron glace, which seemed to be a seasonal item. The wall behind the counter was picturesque, with marron glace lining the bottom. The castella was finely textured, sweet, and delicious. The marron glace was also tasty! Despite the old building, the strong docomo Wi-Fi signal was very helpful. The castella was wrapped in silver packaging!

I received a gift set from this shop containing castella and baked sweets, thank you very much. The set included four types of castella: the signature product CASTE21, CASTE11, matcha castella, and black sugar castella, as well as four types of baked sweets: madeleines, coconut financiers, rum raisin cake, and chestnut cake. It's nice to have a variety of flavors in the castella, as eating the same flavor repeatedly can get boring. I enjoyed them all very much.

This is a cafe located on the second floor of Ganso-san, a castella shop right in front of Daimaru in Shinsaibashi. It is a long-established shop with a nostalgic castella taste. I enjoyed a relaxing time with a perfect match of castella and tea before my meeting.

A Western-style confectionery shop facing the arcade shopping street in Osaka City's Shinsaibashi shopping district. While their main product is castella cake, they also offer other sweets. There is a café attached where you can enjoy coffee time. The individually wrapped castella cake (CASTE 11) is a type of baked confectionery. As the name suggests, it is cut castella cake with a light and airy taste. It has a bright yellow appearance. The individually wrapped matcha castella cake is also a type of baked confectionery. As the name suggests, it is a matcha-flavored castella cake.

This day was the day to have dinner at Nishi Ohashi. I arrived early in Shinsaibashi, so I decided to stop by here to buy castella. I had visited before but unfortunately it was closed, so this was my chance for revenge! The staff were just putting away the sign outside when I arrived, so I was worried, but when I asked the staff, "Are you closed already?" they said, "It's okay!" and I hurried inside. I was able to buy it safely ( ＾∀＾) ◼️ Red Box Half (600 yen excluding tax) ◼️ Blue Box Half (500 yen excluding tax) The castella called the red box and blue box is on the sign here. I had it for breakfast the next day. It's a long-established castella shop in Osaka, but it was my first time trying it. I compared the red box and blue box. According to the shop's product description, the red box has a soft texture with less sugar and a lot of egg yolk and honey. The blue box seems to be a fine-textured, elegant, and flavorful castella. Both were delicious, but the red box seemed even more delicious. Both are not too sweet, and since each piece (they cut it for you) is not too big, you can eat it crispy. The shelf life is also over 2 weeks from the purchase date, so there is no need to rush to eat it. I will savor the rest slowly ( ＾∀＾) Thank you for the meal.

(2020/09/12: Visit) While strolling through the shopping streets from Namba to Shinsaibashi, I came across this retro two-story brick building that exuded a sense of long-standing history. I couldn't resist passing by, so I decided to visit! They had a display of "cut-off castella" which seemed perfect for a taste test, so I bought some. The castella had a delicate texture and a light flavor, and there was more than enough for the price. It was delicious beyond my expectations! I now regret not purchasing the "freshly baked castella" with its irresistible crunchy texture of sugar crystals. If I have the chance, I will definitely try the freshly baked castella next time!
