On a cold Sunday in Osaka, I went out to buy a Kugelhopf that I wanted to send along with a Christmas present. After the service, I walked through Nakanoshima while praising, which is a very happy time for me. I hope that my favorite Schucrull is not too crowded today... but if it's not crowded, the shop will be in trouble... so I prayed for a moderate amount as I headed there. I made a reservation online so that I could receive it without waiting in line, and when I arrived at the shop, I waited for it to finish baking. I suddenly thought of adding my favorite Kugelhopf to this year's Christmas present. I like Kugelhopf the most among the breads at Schucrull. It is similar to Panettone made with high-quality ingredients. The balance of dried fruits and dough is very gentle and it is my favorite. Kugelhopf is said to originate from the Alsace region of France. It was written on the Schucrull website as Alsace Kugelhopf. It is said that three wise men on their way to Bethlehem to announce the birth of Jesus Christ stayed at the house of a pottery craftsman in a small village in the Alsace region and were served pastries baked in the craftsman's pottery. There is also a theory that it originated in Austria. It is said to be a pastry loved by Marie Antoinette. Germany and Austria have many traditional pastries, and I am grateful that they have been passed down to Japan. Pastries made with good ingredients across history make happy times even happier. I bought Stollen for the first time. There were three types: with sake, cassis, and standard. Since it was my first time, I bought the standard one. It was wrapped in wrapping paper with an illustration of a whale drawn by an acquaintance. Inside, it was tightly wrapped in double layers of wrap, and it felt like it was wrapped with thoughts and love. It was a fun time, like unwrapping Jesus' swaddling clothes. As soon as I opened the wrap, the scent of spices and fruits wafted out, giving me a feeling of happiness. Stollen, an artistic pastry, is made with solid ingredients and is delicious. The scene of baby Jesus Christ being carried by Mother Mary in swaddling clothes. Stollen is small, but it had a solid weight. When I measured it, it was 270g. I cut 1/3 and sent it with Kugelhopf and other breads to my daughter, who first found Schucrull at the Hibino Honpo store in Suita. I bought Schimit 299 yen, Croissant 368 yen, Chausson aux Pommes 420 yen, Cinnamon Roll 390 yen, Ciabatta 275 yen, Kugelhopf 430 yen, Stollen 2022 2185 yen (tax not included). The bread at Schucrull is recommended by acquaintances who are bread craftsmen, and they all say it is delicious. I am also grateful to Mr. Kaiser. This Christmas luxury is also to share the gratitude for being protected by Lord Jesus for a year with loved ones. Christmas is a time to know the meaning of Jesus being born in a stable when the social situation was at its worst. It is a time to know the Christmas when the faith of the Virgin Mary changed the history of the world. It is a time to relearn that Mary's life was also placed in suffering. It is a time to know the Christmas when God became human to save, love, heal, and give eternal life to all people with an unknown love. I pray that everyone will meet this Lord at Christmas through pastries and culture.

I arrived after 12 and was happy to be able to enter without waiting in line like before. I was disappointed that they didn't have croissants, but the octopus and avocado quiche (?) and the always delicious cinnamon roll were tasty! It may be artificial, but eating bread on the terrace on a sunny day surrounded by nature was the best!

Shop name: Lushucracle Location: Osaka Bakery Cafe I went to Osaka with a friend to hang out and while strolling around the city, we stumbled upon this bakery cafe! Originally, we came to buy dumplings in Kitashinchi, but it was a holiday on Saturday, so they were closed. Feeling disappointed, my friend found this bakery cafe for us. It was located on the first floor of a huge, luxurious building that looked like a tower or an office building. The interior of the cafe was stylish, with a large whale painting on the wall and a spacious terrace with greenery, creating a soothing atmosphere. I purchased Oolong tea for 290 yen and the Bebe Kuglof Cupro, a cute-sized cupro with the original deliciousness of Kuglof, maintaining its adorable shape, also for 290 yen. I love Kuglof, so I bought the smaller size. Coincidentally, my friend also bought the same item, and we both laughed about it! The Kuglof had plenty of dried fruits inside and was very delicious. The Oolong tea had a rich aroma and was made from pesticide-free tea leaves, both items were delicious in taste.

Le Sucré-Coeur is a stylish bakery located near the Nakanoshima Garden Bridge, just a short walk from the Keihan Nakanoshima Line Oebashi Station. The modern building stands out in the Nakanoshima area where contemporary architecture is prominent. Inside, the bakery showcases a dazzling array of bread in a brightly lit display case. Unlike traditional bakeries, customers wear plastic gloves and select their own bread from the showcase. The selection mainly consists of hard breads. Menu items include: - Fig and Chicken Liver Pate Sandwich: A combination of seasonal figs and chicken liver pate, a bit challenging to eat but pairs well with wine. - Coppe Pan Sandwich: Fluffy eggs and crispy bacon. - Pan Cool Packet: Bread with strawberries, lemon, and white chocolate, perfectly balancing acidity and sweetness. - Escargot au Citron: Croissant dough with lemon and almond, rolled up like an escargot. - Nashi Pear Lienette - Scallop and Corn - Creme au Beurre: Buttercream injected into the bread just before purchase. Overall, the dishes focus more on the delicious fillings rather than the bread itself. This makes it a great choice for a cafe lunch experience, offering a delightful atmosphere along with tasty bread-based dishes.

I like figs, walnuts, and chestnuts. It's chestnut season again this year! I found some right away, so I enjoyed them inside the store today. In the eat-in area, there is an Aladdin toaster for warming bread yourself. Although I didn't use it for the bread I bought that day, there were instructions on how to warm it up nicely, so it might be helpful for those who use it! The "Cook au Marron" is a sweet pastry-like bread that I don't usually eat. It has a croissant dough with cream mixed in, and two chunks of chestnut compote inside. The outside is crispy and crunchy, while the inside has a pleasant texture. It gives a slight donut-like impression. It's a matter of preference, but if it were any sweeter with more sugar or heavier with butter or cream, it might be a bit too much. It's just right for one person to enjoy! Applause!

On Saturday around noon, there is always a line. I happened to arrive when the shokupan (Japanese fluffy bread) was just baked, so I bought some shokupan and croissants. The shokupan the next day is delicious when toasted and spread with butter. The cafe has a stylish atmosphere, so I would like to try it out when it gets cooler.

When I go late, they are often sold out of croissants, but I was able to buy them this time because I went early, though there was a bit of a line. The croissants are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, which is incredibly delicious. The baguette and hard-type bread were also delicious.

Croissant ¥368, Donut ¥370, Iced Coffee ¥500. I visited around 3:30 pm on a weekday. It was not crowded as it was an odd time. I originally planned to just get a croissant, but the cashier, a cute lady, recommended the donut with a smile, so I ended up buying it (laughs). I decided to enjoy them on the terrace. The place was surrounded by greenery and had a lovely atmosphere. Even Chunks came by (≧∇≦*). It's no wonder it's a famous shop. The croissant was crispy and delicious! As for the recommended donut... well, it had a simple taste that wasn't particularly good or bad (^^;). Everyone has different preferences, so it just didn't suit me. Thank you for the meal.

I searched for a shop nearby where I could eat delicious-looking bread, and this place came up. It was not crowded, perhaps because it was a weekday morning, so I was able to relax and enjoy my time there. This shop seems to be highly rated for its hard bread, so if I come back next time, I would like to try buying more hard bread.

There is a bakery in Daibiru. It is located in a stylish urban building with greenery where you can also dine in. The showcase is filled with a variety of breads. I prefer hard breads, so my choices may be biased, but I brought home three on this day! ⚫︎ Le Sanc Diaman A bread with nuts and fruits scattered throughout, small but heavy. It seems like it would go well with cheese or wine. You can also taste the sweetness of the fruits, making it suitable for meals as well. ⚫︎ Baton Blanc A long bread with a crispy texture that is enjoyable! However, it may be tough for those with bad teeth. It also seems suitable for a post-meal snack, and it tasted delicious with soy milk latte. ⚫︎ Ficelle Pesche I chose this seasonal bread thinking why not! It is a fruity and tropical bread with peaches kneaded in. It goes well with iced tea, and among the three, it was the most dessert-like bread.

A popular bakery among the top 100. They have a unique style where you pick up the bread with your hands (wearing plastic gloves). One of my favorite sayings is "It's not what you say, but who says it." I think it's so true in this world. I also think this applies here. If an unknown bakery suddenly did this, I don't think it would work. That's what I thought. I bought a pain au chocolat. Thank you for reading until the end.

Located on the 1st floor of the "Shin Diveil" building, just a 5-minute walk from Yodoyabashi Station on the Osaka Metro Midosuji Line. This popular restaurant has been selected as one of the top 100 restaurants since 2019. The area around the restaurant is like an oasis in the city, overflowing with trees like a forest. You can enjoy the cafe on the terrace while experiencing nature. The Cool Cacao (¥484) is a cute heart-shaped bread. The chewy and elastic chocolate dough is filled with plenty of fragrant nuts. You can occasionally taste hints of orange, making it a delicious and flavorful bread. Please note that there is a one-order limit, so when dining in, you can choose one bread and order a drink. The latte is also delicious, allowing you to savor the flavor of the beans. I had a wonderful time enjoying nature. Thank you for the meal. Address: 1-2-1 Dojimahama, Kita-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, Shin Diveil 1F. Business hours: (Wed-Fri) 10:00-20:00, (Sat-Sun) 10:00-19:00, (Closed on Mon-Tue).

✔️You can enjoy dining in a stylish terrace seat. When using the terrace seat, purchasing bread and a drink is required. The bread is a bit pricey, around 400 yen. They mainly offer croissants and Danish pastries, but since I'm not a fan of Danish pastries, I opted for a harder type of bread. - Baton: Crunchy nuts with a strong honey sweetness. It's hard and crispy, but easy to bite through. - Roast chicken and carrot rapé sandwich: Chicken with a basil flavor. It's quite salty, so it pairs well with beer. I really like the crispy texture of the baguette.

This is a bakery that is one of the top 100 shops in 2022. They offer an An Butter Sandwich for 447 yen and a Pan Beldu for 421 yen. The An Butter Sandwich is made with red bean paste, butter, and salt sandwiched in a baguette. It has a firm dough and plenty of red bean paste. The Pan Beldu is served as cut French toast. The shop has a nice interior and is a relaxing place to dine.

Conclusion: "The fluffy bread produces an exquisite flavor! I stopped by when there was a conference nearby. The cost performance is not great, but considering the location, it's acceptable. The price was 905 yen for 2 pieces, which may not be affordable for a struggling student like myself, but it's worth trying for those who love fluffy bread. The charm of this place lies in the way they bake the bread, rather than the quality of the ingredients. I personally prefer harder bread, but I still enjoy this fluffy bread."

I arrived around 11:30 on a regular day and was able to choose bread without waiting in line and find a seat. They offered to pack up any leftovers, so I took one to go. It was a bit confusing finding the entrance on the first floor of the building, but I managed to arrive without any problems using a map.

There are various types of bread, all of them look delicious. Infection prevention measures are in place, so it's safe. The terrace seats are nice with shade and a pleasant breeze, making it relaxing to enjoy the bread surrounded by nature. The staff are very friendly, I will definitely come back.

I had been visiting my favorite Le Sucré Coeur Kishibe shop long before starting my food log. Although they have opened shops in Osaka like Yotsubashi and Kitashinchi, I hesitated a bit due to the rapidly increasing prices of their bread (each piece costing around 400-500 yen!). I felt like treating myself to some luxurious pastries after a long time, so I decided to visit the Le Sucré Coeur shop in Kitashinchi. The shop is located on the first floor of the new Daibiru building surrounded by greenery. The entrance is on the outside of the building, not inside, with a sophisticated glass facade. The interior is spacious with high ceilings, offering counter seats and a terrace surrounded by greenery for dining in, following a one order and one drink policy. After disinfecting, wearing vinyl gloves on the dominant hand, I noticed the unique self-service style of picking up bread by hand from a covered case rather than using tongs. It felt more stable this way. The popular croissants, pain au chocolat, traditional French pain au raisin, lemon escargot, chestnut pie, walnut and olive-infused bread, heart-shaped baguette Pain Coeur, seasonal ingredients used in pizza-style tarts, authentic sandwich options, beautifully browned croque monsieurs, and more caught my eye. The refrigerated section at the back had viennoiseries (buttercream, chocolate cream, and a limited-time cafe cream). Each bread looked delicious and elegant, making it hard to choose. After careful consideration, I selected the following bread: Croissant - 397 yen (tax included) "Enjoy the crispy, fluffy texture, the aroma of the dough and butter, and the sound that spreads in your mouth." This croissant had a unique shape, like a ribbon end tightly curved. The beautiful browned surface, when bitten into, was incredible! The surface was extremely thin, with a delicate and fleeting texture. Each bite made a light, crispy sound. At the same time, a high-quality butter aroma wafted through the nose. The layers were moist and thin, with a rich butter flavor seeping through. The sweet and rich aroma made me feel entranced. Despite its size, it was easy to eat due to the lack of greasiness. The layers were fine and even, with a crispy and fragrant outer layer and a fluffy and airy inner texture. The thin parts where the dough overlapped crumbled with a crunchy aroma. The texture, baking level, and luxurious use of butter were top-notch, reminiscent of eating a croissant at a French bakery. It was a delightful experience. Zucchini Croque Monsieur - 550 yen "The popular Croque Monsieur now features summer vegetable zucchini." This Croque Monsieur, made with seasonal vegetables like asparagus in spring and Chinese cabbage in winter, now showcased summer vegetable zucchini. As advised by the staff at the register, I reheated it before eating. When bitten into, the deliciousness was powerful! The crispy cheese had an authentic aroma, and the overflowing crispy edges were delightful. I wondered what kind of cheese they used. The generous and creamy bechamel sauce underneath also had a rich and deep flavor. The thick ham added a robust umami taste. The refreshing flavor of yellow and green zucchinis, with a base of soft bread, was delightful. Everything from the bread to the cheese, zucchini, ham, and sauce was of high quality, providing a satisfying and fulfilling experience. Both the taste and portion were exceptional, making it a special lunch option. La Lunette et Banane - 454 yen "A combination of croissant dough, mango cream, banana, and chocolate. A lively creation that evokes a tropical vibe." This viennoiserie was also ===========

After dining at the New Daibiru in Kitashinchi, I headed to Le Sucrerie on the first floor. I purchased about 10 different items as gifts for my wife's parents, who were looking after our child, as well as for tomorrow's breakfast. The lineup at this shop is really to my liking. This time, I bought the seasonal Kiwi Mojito for myself. It was a hard bread with kiwi, orange, white chocolate, almonds, and a hint of mint, and it was very delicious. I would definitely like to visit this shop again.

The store opened at 10:00 and there were already 7 people lined up. Only 2 groups were allowed inside at a time, so there was a short wait. There were many hard breads in the showcase. I bought freshly baked croissant chocolat and croissant first, then also bought bread with butter and olives, and bread with chocolate cream. The staff carefully separated the warm bread and bread with chocolate cream for me.

I visited the shop in the early afternoon, which I had been curious about for a while but hadn't been able to go to. I finally made it there, though I ended up wandering around quite a bit as I didn't know it was tucked away in a corner of the building. The red bean paste with butter had a light sweetness, making it taste like a dessert, and it was delicious. I couldn't buy the product I was looking for, so I want to visit the shop first thing in the morning next time.
