A popular shop in Namba that specializes in cheesecakes made using a water bath method. I bought two as souvenirs for my family because I had tried it before and it was delicious. There are many branches, but I bought them here inside the Shinkansen ticket gate to avoid carrying them around. They didn't charge extra for the additional paper bag, which was nice. I purchased the "Freshly Baked Cheesecake 6" (¥745)". When I microwaved it according to the box instructions, it expanded to about 1.2 times its size and became fluffy. When you eat it, it has a delicate texture similar to the trendy pancakes. The cheese aroma and sweetness are just right, making it easy to eat. The bottom part is slightly moist, adding to the enjoyment of eating it. There are plenty of raisins at the edges, but I'm not sure if they really complement the taste. The unique texture of this souffle cheesecake might become addictive, especially for women who enjoy this kind of texture. Personally, I prefer cheesecakes that are more rich in cheese and moist, but this one is also delicious. I hope they will open branches in the Kanto region as well. It was a unique and delightful dish with an exquisite texture.

Inside the ticket gate of the Shinkansen station, there were about 20 people lined up at the popular restaurant, but at this one, there was no line at all! I tried it for the first time a week ago and it was so delicious that I came back for more. I followed the warming instructions on the box and it made it even fluffier!

It used to be a delicious and affordable specialty snack representing Osaka, but the prices keep going up. This shop is convenient for souvenirs as it is located inside the Shinkansen ticket gate. There were about 5-6 groups in line before 7:00 PM on a weekday. I don't think they sell freshly baked items here. The line moved quickly, and I was able to purchase without waiting for more than 5 minutes. [What I bought] Cheesecake ¥965. When I bought it in 2018, it was less than 700 yen. In January 2023, it was 865 yen. Now, it's almost reaching 1,000 yen. It's delicious, but it's a cheap kind of deliciousness. Sometimes you just crave the taste. When it reaches a thousand yen, it feels different. Still, it's impressive that there's still a long line. I might still buy it occasionally, but I have mixed feelings about it. Sorry for the vague review. Thank you for the meal.

I stopped by just before getting on the Shinkansen. At first, I tried to go to a store inside the local train station, but the line was longer than I expected, so I gave up. However, the store inside the Shinkansen station had a line of about 15 people. Since I still had some time, I waited in line for a few minutes and bought a cheesecake (965 yen) as a souvenir. Following the instructions on the box to warm it up, the cake puffed up lightly and had a delicious, fluffy texture. Everyone who tried it seemed to enjoy it, so I'm glad I bought it. Thank you for the meal.

Every time I go to Osaka, my family always asks me to bring back Uncle Rikuro's cheesecake as a souvenir. The raisins at the bottom add a nice touch♪ The cheesecake has a gentle egg aroma and a fluffy texture. When warmed up, it becomes even more fluffy and jiggly, making it irresistible to devour. It was very delicious.

At Shin-Osaka Station Shinkansen ticket gate, there is a shop called "Uncle Rikuro's Shop Shinkansen Ticket Gate Store." This time, I got takeout. Here's what I ordered (* indicates favorite menu items): - Creamy pudding ¥260: Quite rich and creamy. It has a strong egg flavor. The texture is thick and creamy, almost heavy in a way, but still smooth. The taste is really good. Although the cheesecake was sold out, I was pleasantly surprised by how good the pudding was. It was quite different from the fluffy texture of cheesecake, with a heavier feel. They also have a variety of baked goods, so I'll try them next time the cheesecake is sold out. ------Helpful Tips------ *Visit Date: As of the visit date *Encounter with the Store: Passed by the store 1. Location: Inside the Shinkansen ticket gate 2. Spoon: Additional ¥100 Paper bag: Free ---------------------------

Rikuro Ojisan's shop, known for its fluffy cheesecake that is cheap and delicious, is popular. There is no line yet as there is still an hour until the cheesecake is ready. I heard that their pudding is also delicious, so I decided to buy it. A pack of three creamy puddings costs 780 yen and they are delicious! They are so smooth and creamy, with a rich flavor. Wow, this is amazing! I actually prefer the pudding over the popular cheesecake. Those who buy items other than the cheesecake don't have to wait in line, so it's good to keep that in mind. Maybe because it's inside the Shinkansen ticket gate, it's not crowded here, which is also nice. This will be added to my rotation of souvenirs from Osaka.

Nice to meet you, Madeline. Its name is "Nicomado". My friend bought it as a souvenir during his business trip to Osaka. As an adult now, my mother is delighted ♡ ｡°(´∩ω∩`)°｡ "Rikuro Ojisan no mise" is a very famous cheesecake shop. Of course, I know about their cheesecake, but "Madeline!?" I didn't know they sold madeleines. I'm sorry for my ignorance m(._.)m ① It doesn't need to be refrigerated, just store it in a cool, dark place below 25 degrees Celsius. ② The expiration date is about a month, which is a key point. They chose madeleines instead of the classic cheesecake. Our fridge is full of "children waiting for their turn" from White Day, and there's no space for cheesecake, so this thoughtful choice really impressed me (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)← Just a silly parent. Although it has a good shelf life, it's a souvenir from my friend and filled with love ♡, so I will enjoy it right away (^人^) It has a nostalgic and simple taste (o^^o) The buttery flavor is gentle and lovely. It's just right for a snack. It may make your mouth a bit dry, but I guess that's how madeleines are. It's within the acceptable range and expected. The packaging also adds to the heartwarming experience. It was a delightful madeleine. Thank you for the meal (^人^)

This is a shop inside the Shinkansen ticket gate at Shin-Osaka Station. It appears to specialize in cheesecakes. When I arrived in the evening, there were about 20 people in line, but I was able to purchase in about 10 minutes. A whole cheesecake was around 800 yen. When cut into 6 pieces, it's just the right size. It's fluffy, mildly sweet, and light, which I think is quite good. If you refrigerate it first and then reheat it in the microwave for about 20 seconds, it tastes delicious.

I learned about the egg crisis. I rarely do housework, so I never really paid attention to the price of eggs. However, when I went to the supermarket, Rikuro Ojisan was sold out, with a purchase limit, and both the Shinkansen and local trains were sold out, so I couldn't buy any. The only thing left was pudding, which I bought and ate on the Shinkansen. It wasn't as smooth as custard, but had a retro flavor. On my way back home, I apologized to my daughter via LINE.

Osaka specialty, Rikuro Ojisan's cheesecake. Found a shop inside the Shinkansen ticket gate and stopped by. Was able to purchase without any waiting. ・Freshly baked cheesecake for 865 yen For the price, it's a large round souffle-like cake. In the middle, there's Rikuro Ojisan's face? It says to cut it into 6 pieces and warm it up to make it expand... The texture seems light, so I thought a half size would be enough, but with a larger cut, the expansion was not uniform, and the shape was uneven... I should have followed the instructions as they were. The remaining pieces were cut a little smaller. When warmed up to expand, it becomes even fluffier and easier to eat. I wish there was a bit more cheese flavor, but it's impressive that they are doing their best at this price. Raisins are the accent. Since I was there, I also bought the following. ・Firewood pie with 16 pieces for 1400 yen Homemade pies twisted and baked by hand one by one. Crispy and fragrant. ・Nicomado (Madeleine) for 150 yen The package is cute. The taste is ordinary. It's convenient to be able to purchase these here. Thank you for the meal.

Arrived at Shin-Osaka Station at 17:15 on Saturday and found a famous shop with several locations. The shop inside the local line ticket gate had a long line, but the one inside the Shinkansen ticket gate was the least crowded! The soft texture of the dough with raisins was a nice touch. As a souvenir under 1,000 yen, it's pretty impressive. Delicious! Thank you for the meal.

Even when rushing through the ticket gate, I always feel the urge to buy some local sweets or rice. Unfortunately, Toncho doesn't sell anything after 8 pm, so I had to give up. But fear not! I have a strong ally called Rikuro Ojisan! The cheesecake was sold out, but there were still Nikomado available! Thank you so much! The consistent and gentle deliciousness of Nikomado never fails to comfort me. The perfect balance of sweetness and crispiness allows me to take a moment to relax and enjoy this reassuring treat. Thank you for the meal.

I received a souvenir from a friend♪ It's a popular gourmet item beloved by Osaka locals, and although I had heard of it before, this was my first time trying it! I see why it's so popular. First of all, it's cheap! A whole cake for less than 900 yen, and you can share it with everyone, so the cost performance is great! And it's light. Fluffy, fizzy, like a souffle cheesecake♡ I can imagine it was a big hit when the shop first opened 30 years ago. The expiration date is 3 days, but even one person can finish it easily. The shop doesn't recommend it, but I tried freezing it and eating it like ice cream. It tasted even better. It seems like it would be popular with everyone, but I'm more of a wine lover... If it's the same price, I'd prefer a parfait to go with red wine, but it was still nice to try it once.

A famous shop in Namba, Osaka known for its fluffy cheesecake! The shop has over 10 locations centered around Osaka. It has a long history, starting as a confectionery wholesaler in 1956. In 1984, they started selling freshly baked cheesecake, which led to the creation of their iconic black crow logo. In 1989, they opened their cheesecake shop in Namba, called Uncle Rikuro's Cheesecake. The brand itself has been around for over 30 years. They use high-quality cream cheese imported directly from a traditional factory in Denmark, known for their strict standards on exported cheese. The cake has raisins at the bottom. They bake the cakes on-site, so you can take photos or videos when they stamp the cake, which they signal with a bell. The cake is moist, fluffy, and surprisingly light, despite its size. It's large enough for one person to finish. You can't eat a whole cake if you dine in, so it's recommended as a souvenir since the price is reasonable. Thank you for the meal. [Order] - Freshly Baked Cheesecake 865 yen

This is a pastry shop located just after passing through the Shinkansen ticket gate at Shin-Osaka Station. It is a take-out only store. There is also a shop in the station market inside the conventional train area, but this one is less crowded, so if you are using the Shinkansen, you should use this one! When it comes to Rikuro Ojisan, their freshly baked cheesecake is famous. In the past, a whole cheesecake used to cost 500 yen, but now it's the Reiwa era. It is now 865 yen including tax, and at first, I hesitated a bit. Actually, there was a line at the station market shop, so I gave up for a moment. However, as expected in Osaka, the merchant city, a wagon with freshly baked cheesecakes arrived with the sound of a bell ringing. The cheesecakes, still in a transparent case, showing the color before being boxed up, caught my attention! After managing to get through the Shinkansen ticket gate, I found this shop where there was no line and made a quick decision. It's not heavy, and unlike at 551, you don't have to worry about the smell in the Shinkansen... Plus, you can only buy it in Osaka! Now, in addition to cheesecake, there were various other sweets like roll cakes. Now, when I got home, I immediately tried it. As I thought before, the cheesiness is a bit subtle. And it has a strangely jiggly texture. I recommend warming it up, even in the microwave, as it will become moist and delicious. At that time, it was just before Christmas, so there was a Santa mark in the center of the cake. Rikuro Ojisan's Santa. The portion is generous, and it's easy to customize. It was definitely good for a Christmas cake. The taste is decent, but I think I will use it again as a taste of Osaka. Anyway, when you eat it, make sure to warm it up! It's definitely tastier that way. Thank you for the meal.

I brought a cheesecake from a place called "Rikuro Ojisan" as a souvenir from my business trip. It was my first time hearing about Rikuro Ojisan. The cheesecake was similar to Yamazaki's cheese steamed bun. It leaned more towards a steamed bun compared to Cozy Corner's cheesecake. The cheesecake is made using rich-tasting cream cheese imported directly from a traditional factory in Denmark, known for its strict quality control and advanced production techniques. They bake 12 cheesecakes multiple times a day in the kitchen attached to each store. They also pay attention to the raisins sprinkled on the bottom. Rikuro Ojisan's Store Shinkansen Ticket Gate Store 0120-57-2132 5-16-1 Nishinakajima, Yodogawa-ku, Osaka City, Osaka.

This is also a classic Osaka souvenir. Unlike the central exit of Shin-Osaka Station where they demonstrate baking with a nice smell, this shop seems to sell the finished products. My daughter bought it without waiting in line. She prefers souffle or rare types like shirotae over the rich Basque cheesecake. She mentioned that Basque cheesecake is not something you can eat a lot of, and for someone like her who doesn't eat a lot, Rikuro Ojisan is the way to go. Priced at 865 yen, it's affordable and delicious. In the past, there were Magellan shops in Tokyo, but now Rikuro Ojisan is the only one that comes to mind for freshly baked souffle cheesecake. The raisins are not spread throughout the bottom but in a ring shape, allowing for a "no raisins" option depending on how you cut it. Recommended to microwave it for a bit, it becomes a fluffy texture like Taiwanese castella. It melts on your tongue and is easy to finish in one go. Shin-Osaka Station has 551 as well, but Rikuro Ojisan, with no Shinkansen smell issue, is also great.

My wife bought something during her business trip to Osaka that was featured on a secret Kansai TV show. The person who introduced it boasted that they could eat three of them... Is it really that good? Well, it's fluffy and refreshing, so it's delicious. Maybe I could eat a whole one, but on the back of the box it says one piece is 1,400 calories... If I ate three, that would be 4,200 calories... I would definitely regret it. It seems difficult to buy them as they are often sold out, but I'll keep it in mind if I ever go to Osaka.

Visited in September 2022. When returning to Osaka, I decided to buy a souvenir at Shin-Osaka Station. When it comes to souvenirs at Shin-Osaka Station, there are various options like pork buns, takoyaki, and kushikatsu, but for a light snack souvenir, this might be the best choice. "Rikuro Ojisan's Shop Shinkansen Ticket Gate Store" is a well-known Osaka souvenir shop specializing in cheesecakes that has been attracting long lines for many years. This shop is located inside the Shinkansen concourse and is a relatively new store that opened around last year. Since it was late, there was no line, so I quickly bought the cheesecake and headed home. I decided to have it for breakfast the next morning after letting the freshly baked cheesecake rest in the refrigerator overnight. Rikuro's cheesecake is a fluffy souffle-type cheesecake made with cream cheese from Denmark, fresh eggs, and milk. A characteristic feature is the raisins at the bottom. After cutting a slice and plating it, I indulged in the cheesecake. The texture was like it melted in my mouth, with a mild cream cheese flavor spreading in my mouth, and it was incredibly delicious. I quickly finished one slice and even the second slice was gone in no time. The cheesecake from here is delicious when slightly warm from being freshly baked, but it's also great when chilled. It's fluffy and moist without being dry, and truly delicious. It's perfect as a souvenir or as a gift. I will definitely come back to buy more. Thank you.

If asked what is a good souvenir from Osaka, I would definitely recommend giving a fluffy cheesecake from the shop "Rikuro Ojisan." Their cheesecake with the signature bake mark in the middle is soft and round, absolutely delicious. They do not use any preservatives, so it is best to consume it on the same day if left at room temperature, or within 3 days if refrigerated. Despite the short shelf life for baked goods, it is so tasty that you will finish it in no time. The raisins at the bottom also add a nice touch. If you haven't tried it yet, you must buy it - it's cheap and worth it!
