Petit Meck is a popular bakery with fans, even though the first floor of Hankyu Department Store is dedicated to bread. The original bakery in the basement is also popular, as well as Petit Meck in Baruchika. Hankyu Department Store never fails to captivate bread lovers. It is said that Kyoto consumes the most bread in Japan. Perhaps due to the large number of foreigners? But Japanese people are also increasingly fond of bread. I was drawn to stop by today. I bought a delicious-looking Vietnamese-style sandwich bread with plenty of Vietnamese vegetables for 480 yen. When I actually ate it, the bread was easy to eat and the sandwich was very delicious. Another bread I tried was the eggplant and lotus root sandwich for 420 yen. The seasoning of the eggplant was delicious and the sandwich was enjoyable. The walnut-topped croissant for 250 yen had a crunchy texture and was delicious. The joy of being drawn to visit the store again while eating is a mysterious pleasure. I am grateful that the prices of the bread are tax-inclusive. I am thankful for the professional attitude that returns to consumers along with the ingredients and deliciousness. Additional visit on 1/15: I purchased garlic bread, cream sandwich, raisin bread, and a sandwich. I had the sandwich at night. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that there were ingredients that I was avoiding, such as ham and bacon. I took precautions before eating, but still had a reaction. The difficulty of ensuring all ingredients are safe. The sandwich for 520 yen was expensive. Even if the ingredients are listed, it is difficult to know until you get home. The bread is additive-free. I hope that all bread will be labeled in the future. In the case of bread, it is difficult to know unless it is clearly labeled as additive-free or organic. For consumers, having the ingredients listed makes it easier to make choices.

During the summer vacation Obon period, I visited around 11:30 am on a weekday. There were empty seats at that time, but by around 12 pm, it was almost full. I tried the Brioche a la Creme for 270 yen, which is a simple cream bread made with the fluffy and moist brioche dough. It is a limited edition at Hankyu Department Store and the brioche dough itself is sweet, soft, and delicious. The cream has a nice level of sweetness too. I also had the Mocha for 340 yen, which is a popular item born during the Shinjuku store days. It has a crispy texture with almonds and chocolate, and a slightly bitter coffee flavor. The new addition is a coffee cream on top which might be too bitter for kids. As you eat more, you might think they put in too much! There is a generous amount of almond-filled chocolate cream inside. Although the bread may look small, it is very sweet and satisfying. It reminded me of the Baguette Chocolat I had before. I wonder if Lupchimek likes chocolate a lot?笑

The brioche à la crème, croissant, white peach and gorgonzola, lyonnaise, green olive and cheese baguette, and rum raisin at Hankyu Umeda are all delicious and the wheat in the bread is fragrant. It's a bit surprising that they are tucked away in a corner of Hankyu. They should be more visible and proudly showcase their delicious offerings to the people of Osaka.

I first discovered this bakery at the Oike store in Kyoto and have loved it ever since. When I visited the Hankyu Department Store, I found a store there! I bought the Bonless Ham and Brie Cheese (similar to Castucut) and Pain au Chocolat for a total of ¥790. As expected, the pastries from this bakery were delicious! I'm happy that I can buy them while in Osaka!

Le Petit Mec is a bakery that is expanding its stores and is a must-visit for bread lovers and viennoiserie enthusiasts. The Le Petit Mec Umeda Hankyu Main Store is located on the second basement floor of the Hankyu Bar Yokocho, with a variety of seating options including counter and table seats. The self-service system allows customers to choose from a wide range of bread displayed in the showcase. Popular items include the Croissant au Beurre, various viennoiserie with almond fillings, hard breads, baguettes, bagels, and scones. They also offer sets with bagel open sandwiches and salads. I purchased five items, including the Brioche a la Creme and Raspberry and Red Bean Danish. The Brioche a la Creme is a limited edition item only available at the Umeda Hankyu store. The Raspberry and Red Bean Danish is a buttery and flaky pastry with a natural sweetness from the red bean and a refreshing touch of raspberry. The Croquant is a small croissant-like pastry with a crunchy texture and a buttery cinnamon flavor. The Sausage Bagel is chewy with a hint of sweetness from the corn kernels, and the Cheese and Green Olive Baguette is a crispy yet moist bread with a savory combination of cheese and olives. I also ordered a hot coffee to enjoy with my pastries. Overall, Le Petit Mec offers a delightful selection of bread and pastries that are perfect for a light snack or a quick break.

Open for just over a year, this shop is located on the second basement floor of the Hankyu Department Store Umeda Main Store, next to Hankyu Bar Alley. It is located at the far end from Hankyu's Umeda station platform, so if you walk towards Diamor Osaka from Osaka Umeda station or JR Osaka station, you will see the entrance on your left. Despite being in the bar alley, it is in a gourmet zone, so all the shops here, including this one, are welcoming for solo diners. This bakery originated in Kyoto and is the third branch in Osaka. The style is to pick up a tray and tongs and head to the cash register, but perhaps due to the aftermath of the pandemic, everything is now in showcases. The main store in Imadegawa is affectionately known as "Red Mech", but this one could be called "Black Mech". Some parts of the walls and trays are in black. The eat-in area is open and spacious, but there is also a counter for solo diners, which is nice. Personally, I have only been to the store in Hibiya, but here they offer a special morning service, which is not available at the other store. However, there is no specific morning set, just free refills for coffee. So, I came here excitedly, but unfortunately, the staff did not inform me about this at all, even though it was not particularly busy. The coffee brewed by the machine costs 250 yen. It was hot, had a nice aroma, and was quite delicious. And since I came here, I had to try the limited edition item. So, I got the Brioche a la Creme for 260 yen (eat-in price, tax included), which was released to commemorate the opening. It's their number one popular item. It features custard cream with a subtle sweetness and an egg flavor on their brioche dough. Topped with almond slices and pistachio dice. The overall balance is good, and it's so tasty. I also got the Sosison Morne for 489 yen. It's made with levain dough with a large sausage sandwiched in it, generously topped with Morne sauce. It's very substantial! The Morne sauce is a bit spicy, and although it is well packaged, it's not ideal for carrying around, so it's best to eat it quickly or handle it carefully. It has a chewy texture, a good wheat flavor in the dough, a delicious sausage, and fresh rosemary. If you spend over 800 yen, you get a Posca as a gift. This month, it was a Vietnamese-style sandwich illustrated by Yuko Sasahara. That looked delicious too. It's interesting to give out Poscas at a bakery, something you don't see often elsewhere. If you collect them, you can create a Le Petit Mech collection. I definitely want to visit again. Thank you for the meal!

4th visit♪ ✔️Shrimp Chili Sandwich 490yen... A sandwich that was sold at the opening of Lupche Meck Shinsaibashi store has been revived with a new taste for a limited time. The sandwich has an ethnic touch suitable for the season. Four plump shrimp sandwiched in soft bread. The sauce is... not really ethnic, more like something even a kindergartener could eat, lacking the expected chili flavor (almost no spiciness). I wish it had more shrimp chili flavor! The fact that it's only 199kcal is good though. Won't repeat order. ✔️Croquant 250yen... Enjoy the crispy texture on the outside, and the gentle spread of butter and cinnamon aroma. When you bite into it, the butter and sweetness ooze out. The cinnamon scent is also faintly present! It also has quite a lot of large walnuts, giving it a fragrant and delicious taste!! I really like Lupche Meck's sweet breads...♡ So far, I haven't had a disappointing experience. Next time, I'll choose a different sweet bread.

I had a shrimp sandwich and a popular assortment of bagels. The sandwich had no additives, which made me happy. Chain store sandwiches usually have additives in them. I thought I bought mackerel, but it turned out to be shrimp. The shrimp was plump, with eggs in it, and the green leaves were probably arugula. It had an ethnic aroma, but was easy to eat and delicious. The bread was fluffy. The bagel was mostly at room temperature, but it was also fluffy and easy to eat. I ate it quickly, so swallowing was a bit difficult. I ordered hot coffee, which was quite generous and that made me happy too.

The bread dough is not great. Overall, the impression is that there is not enough moisture. The bread displayed in the showcase looks high-end and diverse, but there are few that truly stand out. I had a sandwich and a brioche a la creme (no photo). The drink was the seasonal tea set (Jasmine tea on this day). The sandwich had dry bread and was only seasoned with tartar sauce, making it feel like it was going to get stuck in my throat. The brioche a la creme had good flavor, but the dryness of the dough was still noticeable.

"This popular bakery, known as the 'Red Mech,' has expanded to 8 locations including the main store on Imadegawa Street with its distinctive red exterior. Just like the main store, you can enjoy the bread you purchase here in the seating area. The signature bread at this bakery, along with the fragrant croissants, is the baguette. The firm dough, fermented at low temperatures for a long time, brings out the sweetness of the wheat flour with each bite, and it remains delicious even as time passes. During lunchtime, you can enjoy a variety of sandwiches such as mackerel with dill sauce and roast beef with wasabi mayo, as well as salad and soup sets or drink sets."

Located on the B2 floor of Hankyu Department Store, this bakery originating from Kyoto offers delicious bread made from safe and reliable ingredients. One recommended item is the Pistachio Croissant au Amande (¥395), a limited-time croissant with a crispy croissant dough filled with pistachio biscuit dough and almond cream. The store has around 10 counter seats and 6 two-person table seats for dining in.

It's lunchtime and I came to Umeda to take a break first. I ordered a hot café latte and the limited edition brioche a la creme from Hankyu Department Store. The brioche has a gentle flavor and is so comforting. The size is just right. I also took a photo of the ones I bought to take home - one with garlic butter and one with rum raisin butter. Sorry, I don't remember the names properly. I thought about stopping by again on my way back to buy more, but I was worried they might sell out, so I bought them first! Can't wait to try them - they must be delicious!

Le Petit Mec is a top bakery in Kyoto that has been running for a relatively long time. The main store is located in Kamigyo-ku, Kyoto. Le Petit Mec is known for its strong selection of French hard bread, and its popularity has led to the opening of branches in Tokyo and other areas. I encountered the first Osaka branch, Le Petit Mec Hankyu Umeda, in Osaka. The lineup of stores in Hankyu Umeda is amazing. In the basement, there are Kadoya, Menjiro, and on the 9th floor, there are Botanicaly, Hariju, Uoichi, and others. If you walk around this area, you will find a variety of delicious foods from different genres. This time, I purchased 4 items including Choco Mec and Kouign-Amann. They were all delicious, but the Kouign-Amann was the best. It had a sweet, crunchy texture with slightly hard walnuts that made it truly wonderful. This area has many bakeries with high-quality offerings, making it easy to get overwhelmed, but I was reassured by the delicious treats at Le Petit Mec.

Located in the basement of Hankyu Department Store, this cafe is perfect for a light meal when you're feeling a little hungry. They offer a variety of breads to choose from, and I decided to go with an egg sandwich and coffee. The sandwich had the perfect amount of egg filling and the bread was delicious. The compact, dark brown interior of the cafe was very calming.

Around 2:00 PM on January 7th, 2023, I visited the store and found out that I didn't know it existed before. Moreover, I was able to eat in. I purchased the mackerel sandwich I was looking for, along with a hot coffee. The mackerel was in a salad-like form, making it easy to eat. I didn't feel the strong flavor of mackerel that much. The coffee was easy to drink. The variety of sandwiches is good, and next time I will try the walnut bread with red bean butter, rum raisin, rhubarb Danish.

I visited not only Shinsaibashi PARCO but also Hankyu Department Store, where they recently opened. It was convenient to have both in Umeda and Shinsaibashi. The prices are a bit high, but the taste is consistently delicious. Thank you for the meal. #Kansai #Kansai bread #Kansai takeout #Osaka #Osaka bread #Osaka takeout #Umeda #Umeda bread #Umeda takeout #bread #takeout #takeout sweets #Le Petit Mec #Hankyu Umeda

I've been interested in this bakery for a while. They have plenty of single seats with good partitions, making it easy for individual use and very relaxing. I had a sandwich with eggs and club house, and a cafe latte for eat-in. The temperature of the cafe latte was just right, not too hot or too cold, and the smooth taste was to my liking. The sandwich was moist, with a strong buttery flavor. The eggs had a mild mayo, fresh vegetables, and the bacon didn't have any unpleasant taste, with a light seasoning that I enjoyed. The staff were friendly and efficiently handled the continuous flow of customers. Looking forward to visiting again. Another reason to enjoy Hankyu Department Store even more! (^^)

Good morning (ᐡ •͈ ·̫ •͈ ᐡ) Located on the B2F of Hankyu Department Store Umeda Main Store, this bakery has an eat-in space where you can use the provided toaster oven to heat up the bread you purchased. Items purchased: - MIX Sandwich (B.L.E.T. & Egg) 495 yen - Olive Oil Bread 145 yen - Cafe Latte 500 yen (approximately) It's nice that they have a toaster oven! Le Petit Mec is a French-style bakery with stores in Kyoto, Tokyo, and Osaka, and it was stylish and delicious. Thank you for the meal ♡.・*・.・*・.・*・.・*・.・*・.・*・.・*・.

I bought some bread for lunch the next day because there was a coupon for the "Welcome to Osaka" campaign. The cream bread was just okay. The chocolate hard bread was really delicious with plenty of chocolate. It was quite filling because it was hard. Petit mec is still delicious. I want to buy it again.

Meat sandwich, cream bread, and a chewy one (I forgot what it was. New item this month?) This time, I reheated and ate them! The meat one had cilantro on it, but it wasn't too strong, easy to eat. Cream bread had lots of almonds. The chewy one was really chewy! LOL

This is my third visit. This time, I ate in. - Baguette Chocolat 260 yen: A hard chocolate bread with a crispy baked baguette and plenty of slightly bitter couverture chocolate. I recommend it! - Macadamia Nut and White Chocolate Brioche 290 yen: A fragrant brioche dough with sweet white chocolate and crunchy macadamia nuts. It's so delicious! I really love it! I still love Le Petit Mec, and I want to try more of their bread in the future!
