On November 12, 2022, I went to "Kitashinchi Yakiniku Kiraku" and enjoyed dining out for the first time in 3 months in a private room. On the way back, as I was walking towards Midosuji to catch a taxi, I came across a shop with beautiful congratulatory orchids on display. I decided to stop by and visit "KARIN Kitashinchi", the second cake shop of Hotel Plaza Kaminoji, which opened at the end of September this year. The concept is to "give luxury gems as gifts", and inside the shop, there are beautifully crafted cakes like jewels made with carefully selected ingredients and the skills of the pastry chef, as well as colorful puddings made with domestic fruits. I got ◆Jewel Chiffon Grape for 1000 yen and ◆Jewel Pudding Fig for 800 yen. Back at home in a taxi, I had a dessert time after the yakiniku, so let's dig in (^o^)／ The "Jewel Chiffon Grape" packed in a cube-shaped paper box is a chiffon cake decorated with two types of grapes, emerald green and deep purple, on the surface. Inside, there is a rich cream with condensed milk and French cream cheese, and the sweetness, which is the life of the cake, is made from raw sugar made from sugarcane in the Amami Islands. I felt a solid sweetness and richness, and the acidity of the grapes matched very well, creating a luxurious chiffon cake with a light texture and refreshing aftertaste. The "Jewel Pudding Fig" is a luxurious pudding with plenty of smooth pudding and fig-filled jelly in two layers, sealed in a glass bottle, making it visually appealing. The pudding made with mascarpone cream and raw sugar has a deep flavor and richness, and the jelly with figs has a slightly bitter and sweet maple caramel jelly that tightens the taste, making it a very delicious high-end pudding. The joy of beautiful and delicious cakes popping out of the box, perfect for gifts or souvenirs. Bon appétit (●^o^●) ===========

I received a gift of a set of pudding and chocolate cake. The pudding is creamy, rich, and milky with a nice caramel crunch. The chocolate cake is extremely rich. It's better to cut and eat it little by little rather than all at once. Lastly, I forgot to take a picture, but there was a pudding with jelly on top. The refreshing fruit jelly and the milky bottom create a wonderful harmony. The box was luxurious, and it was a gift that lifted my spirits. If this shop were nearby, I would definitely choose it for souvenirs.

It was my first time, but it was delicious with a refined sweetness! The orange and chocolate flavors were rich. The strawberry and melon were lighter with chiffon cake. I also purchased the mango pudding separately, and it was my favorite in terms of sweetness. I wanted to eat more of it. The smiles of the staff also made me feel happy. It would be more convenient if the prices were a bit lower, as they are a bit expensive. I bought them this time during a hotel sale. (Orange, chocolate, strawberry, melon) Next time, I would like to buy them for some event.

KARIN's store is takeout only, but next door they offer an afternoon tea set with 9 types of 3.5cm cube-shaped petit cakes and 5 types of tea (free refills) for 2500 yen. The atmosphere inside the store is elegant and calm, with high-level service from the staff. You can relax there for as long as you want, but the small portion size of the sweets may be a bit lacking. The petit cakes, especially the terrines, are rich and delicious, but the cube-shaped chiffon cakes with mini fruit toppings may feel like chopped pieces. The cakes sold next door are quite high-end (1000 yen each), which seems reasonable, but there's a lack of satisfaction in the eating experience. Maybe if they offered just one cup of tea and the option to choose one chiffon cake from the display case, women would appreciate it more? Unfortunately, I may not be inclined to go back for more. It would be nice if they incorporated seasonal elements or offered more special afternoon tea options on the menu.

I visited KARIN, a place in Kitashinchi known for its cute cakes, with my friend KARIN. We bought the KARIN selection, a petit size with various flavors, Modenu & Quatre Quarts Cube for ¥1300 (tax included). The cakes were cute, delicious, and perfect as a gift. I will definitely be coming back!

At first, I thought it was all about the appearance, but it was so delicious! Even though they were bite-sized, I couldn't stop eating. lol Personally, I prefer the chocolate series in the front rather than the ones in the back like chiffon cakes. All of them had a strong flavor and were enjoyable! I think this shop is perfect for souvenirs!

In November 2022, while walking back after having dinner in Kita-shinchi, I stumbled upon a new sweets shop and decided to take a look. It was "KARIN Kita-shinchi," an original brand of "Hotel Plaza Osaka Kita-shinchi" located on the 1st floor of the RISE Hotel. Inside the shop, there were sparkling cakes and puddings on display. I bought one chiffon cake and one pudding: Jewel Chiffon (Fig) for 1,000 yen and Jewel Pudding (Grape) for 800 yen. When I got home, I tried them immediately. The Jewel Chiffon (Fig) had caramel cheese cream with figs on top, and you eat it with a spoon without opening the box. The figs were delicious, and the smooth cream paired well with them. The Jewel Pudding (Grape) had a two-layer structure with muscat and kyoho grapes in jelly and pudding. The pudding used mascarpone cream and raw sugar, giving it a smooth texture. The refreshing grape flavor made it light and enjoyable until the last bite. It was a delightful treat!

I fell in love at first sight after seeing MyRebi's post and immediately made a reservation to visit. There were still plenty of orchids...✨ I had reserved the "Moderno & Cattleya Cube" pudding looked delicious, so I added it as well♪ ♢Tomato Berry ♢Lemon ♢Orange ♢Pistachio ♢Raspberry ♢Chocolate ♢Cheese ♢Fig pudding ♢Strawberry pudding→Grape pudding...haha The box is so cute, it's fun to open♡ I preferred the rich Moderno Cube. The balance of ripe fruits and flavorful pudding was perfect. This was also very delicious❤️ The restaurant next door also serves desserts, so I definitely want to try their food as well. Thank you for the meal (๑>◡<๑)

The neighboring restaurant "un-treize" was a full course meal and I am completely satisfied. But I haven't bought any souvenirs at all! I heard that "KARIN" sweets are likely to sell out, so I was advised by the staff to make a reservation before dining. The place opened in September and it looks very sparkling inside and out. There are many orchids displayed, including ones sent by actors Ainosuke Kataoka and Norika Fujiwara, making the atmosphere even more glamorous. The cakes in the showcase look like jewels. I bought the "KARIN SELECTION" ~Modèrne Cube~ petit size, which includes 4 flavors. The pistachio flavor I tried at un-treize was rich and smooth, absolutely delicious. It got slightly deformed on the Shinkansen, but it's normally much prettier. Overall, it was a great purchase and I would love to try other flavors at home. Now, I'm heading back to Tokyo. Thank you to Myレビ for the helpful review. Your posts are always appreciated!

Rise Hotel Osaka Kitashinchi 1F "KARIN" is now open. Cakes and puddings are displayed in the showcase like jewels. While mainly for takeout, you can also enjoy tea sets and afternoon tea at the neighboring French restaurant "Antreze." I bought the "KARIN Selection" for 1300 yen after lunch and took it home. They even included a cooling pack. The paper bag is bronze-colored. Inside the box are 8 mini-sized cakes, each one cute and lovely. The "Quatre-Cœur Cube" is a moist chiffon cake with syrup, perfectly balanced with the fruit's acidity. The "Moderne Cube," which looks like simple chocolate, has a smooth and rich cream cheese and chocolate flavor. I personally prefer this one. It's nice to be able to enjoy different flavors in small portions. The selection also offers an 8-piece set of just the "Moderne Cube," and both have a shelf life of 3 days including the purchase date. They make great souvenirs too.

Cake Flavor Set of 3 for 3,000 yen (tax included) Jewel Chiffon: A luxurious chiffon cake adorned with jewel-like fruits and cream.

Orange Cattleya Cube: A pound cake made with carefully selected ingredients such as premium flour, unrefined sugar from Amami Islands, lutein eggs, and orange peel flavored with balsamic vinegar. The cake is rich yet refreshing, with a complex marriage of orange and balsamic vinegar flavors. Pistachio Moderne Cube: A cube cake made with Valrhona blonde chocolate, blended with pistachios. Enjoy the vibrant green beauty and rich, aromatic taste. Despite its simple appearance, it offers a complex flavor profile.

This is my second visit. The customer service is very pleasant. Also, it's great that you can use T-points for takeout! Everyone should definitely check it out!

I gave a gift to a person in their late 20s, and they were very pleased with it. They even shared it with me when I visited them. I had a great time, so I would like to visit them again.

This is Yoko Sujyari, one of the shops in Kitashinchi. It was very crowded when I visited, but they only offer takeout. The portion size felt a bit small, but I ended up buying a stylish souvenir. It was delicious.

It's a short walk from JR Kitashinchi Station. It's located on the first floor of the Rise Hotel Osaka Kitashinchi in Dojima. The cake, which was in a square box like a jewelry box, was a bit small but it was beautifully presented and made me very excited. I took it home. It was delicious.

I purchased the Modenu & Catolcafe Cube, and even though it was a small size, the flavors were rich and I could really savor them! Everything was delicious, and it was great to be able to make a reservation using points in advance!
