Visited in July 2022. After shopping in Shinsaibashi, on the way back, I stopped by the food basement of Takashimaya in Namba... I didn't have a specific purpose, but you know how it is, you end up buying something when you wander around, right? Lately, I've been obsessed with fruit sandwiches, so naturally, I came across this place! "Daiya Seipan Osaka Takashimaya Store." Besides the appealing fruit sandwiches, they also had egg, tonkatsu, ebi katsu, roast beef, and other delicious deli sandwiches, but I resisted the temptation and didn't buy them (laughs). I bought some to take home and enjoy as dessert after dinner and breakfast the next day! ・Melon & Cream Sandwich A sandwich with green-fleshed melon and whipped cream. When I tried it, the melon was slightly crisp and not fully ripe. However, the saltiness of the bread and the very restrained sweetness of the whipped cream made the fruit taste sweeter. The other two types were enjoyed the next morning. ・Mixed Fruit Sandwich Ingredients include strawberries, Kishu mandarins, and Shine Muscat grapes. Each fruit was fresh and juicy! Every fruit had a decent level of sweetness, and they paired well with the whipped cream! Thanks to the saltiness of the bread, even the Kishu mandarin tasted extremely sweet. ・Banana & Chocolate Cream A sandwich with chocolate-flavored bread, chocolate whipped cream, and bananas. Like the white bread, the salty chocolate bread enhanced the sweetness of the fruit, allowing you to enjoy the rich flavor and sweetness of the banana. The harmony between the fruit and cream is like a shortcake! However, the bread's mild sweetness compared to sponge cake makes it easy to devour. This is quite delicious. The "baeru" brand would surely be a great souvenir for friends! It was so delicious! Thank you.
