While walking to Nakazaki-cho, I saw a sign for soft serve ice cream. I don't usually eat soft serve, but they had mini cones so I ordered one and sat by the window. The perfect-sized soft serve arrived and it was delicious. It was a relaxing experience and quite enjoyable! 😊

This is a trendy cafe with a pastry shop attached, as well as several other stylish stores. I often purchase gifts for colleagues' retirement celebrations here. The pastries are stylish, cute, and delicious, receiving high praise from my coworkers. This time, I bought a cake for my wedding anniversary. Not only is the taste delicious, but they also have cute cakes like swan cakes and candle cakes that are not commonly found elsewhere, giving a special feeling.

The inside of the store is very stylish, with a Halloween theme as Halloween is approaching! They also have merchandise available for souvenirs! The hand wash area is also stylish and definitely worth a visit!! The showcase is filled with sweets!! Among them, the swan cake seems to be a must-try! The candle cake is a fun style where you light it with an original match and enjoy eating it while having fun looking at it! The candle cake is perfect for Halloween!! If you're undecided, you should definitely order the swan cake! It's a hidden gem, easy to enter even for one person, and has a calm atmosphere!

Swan Cake ¥728, Candle Cake ¥728, Tea ¥459. Once again, it's the famous Taiyou no Tou Cafe, but this time we visited a pastry shop that makes cakes served in all their cafes. The interior of this place is just too cute! For Halloween, we chose the Swan Cake and Candle Cake. The Candle Cake can actually be lit with a match. It's a buttercream Gâteau Chocolat coated in white chocolate, moist and delicious. And the Swan Cake is a roll cake with a whole strawberry sandwiched between meringue wings. It was also very delicious! In addition to cakes, they also had cute cookie tins, famous from Taiyou no Kankan, in abundance.

A short walk from Nakazakicho Station, there is a shop under the elevated loop line. I often see cookie cans at department stores, but this shop was my first visit. Surrounded by a downtown atmosphere, a stylish cafe suddenly appears. There are plenty of cute cakes ✨ I was drawn to the Shine Muscat tart, but ultimately decided to try this one. ○ Swan Blanc ¥664 Crispy meringue wings with a fluffy sponge inside and strawberries, more than I imagined ♪ Cafe Latte ¥459 The cup for the latte is too cute. This little consideration made me happy ♡ I enjoyed a blissful time in the cozy music and the overwhelmingly cute interior everywhere (even the toilet is cute ♡).

There is a shop located near Nakanosaki-cho Station under the elevated Osaka Loop Line. Because it is under the elevated tracks, the sound of trains can be quite loud. This time, I ordered a raspberry mousse cake and an iced café latte. The acidity of the raspberries was very delicious!

[Otoriyose] Osaka, Nakazakicho "Taiyo no To Western Confectionery" "Taiyo no Kankan kuro 11 varieties" ❤️ Featured in Fujin Gahou ❤️ ✔️ Retro and stylish area in Osaka, Nakazakicho ✔️ Illustration can and cookies are both "highly sophisticated" ✔️ Went to the shop with my sister, the atmosphere inside the shop is super cute ✔️ The cakes lined up in the showcase are also attractive ✔️ Perfect for a special gift

As a representative cafe of Osaka, this shop has 5 locations, mostly around Nakazakicho with one in Namba. It is located next to the shop under the JR viaduct, just as you exit from Kitano Hospital towards Nakazakicho. The shop is known for its icing cookies. The old shop is now used as a staff room. While the new shop used to offer only takeout, now you can dine in as well. The location under the viaduct makes it a bit hidden, with a nostalgic atmosphere created by dim lighting. The interior maintains a retro vibe, with limited seating inside and a terrace that doesn't get much sunlight. The shop mainly sells souvenir cookies, cakes, and miscellaneous goods in vibrant colors. The coconut cookies were handmade and tasty, while the drip coffee was mild and easy to drink. Overall, the shop's charm lies in its hidden gem status and nostalgic ambiance.

Under the elevated tracks in Nakazaki-cho is the "Tower of the Sun". Recently, they have also opened a branch in Hankyu Department Store. The outdoor terrace seating is nice, but there are also tables and chairs inside. The interior is like an antique world, reminiscent of ANNA SUI! I wanted to have tea in this space if I had time, but my lunch break was ending, so I got takeout. ★Cookie Cream Bomb 280 yen The sign outside has been renewed with a crunchy cookie choux filled with plenty of custard cream. The light cream containing whipped cream was delicious! The unexpected combination of the hardness of the pastry and the lightness inside. It goes well with coffee (^-^) Thank you for the meal!

"Sun Tower Western Confectionery Shop" is located near Osaka Metro Nakazakicho Station, with the main store and affiliated branches scattered around the area. However, one branch of the affiliated stores is located in "Namba CITY" in Osaka Namba. The old store "Patisserie Taiyo no To" was relocated and expanded on December 10, 2021 (Friday), with a new store located under the elevated JR Osaka Loop Line next to the old store. The name changed from "Patisserie Taiyo no To" to "Sun Tower Western Confectionery Shop". The old store was a small shop where eating in was not possible, but the new store is spacious and allows for dining in. The old store is now being used as a staff room. The old store "Patisserie Taiyo no To" is famous for its icing cookies and has participated in events at Hankyu Department Store. The new store has a glass exterior and a avant-garde interior design, with a calm atmosphere. There is also a terrace seating area. The store was not very crowded, perhaps not well-known yet. The showcase displays a variety of cakes, with sliced cakes priced mostly between 550 yen and 620 yen (in-store price) for 12 different types, offering reasonable prices. They were selling only one whole cake with seasonal fruit decoration (2400 yen ← in-store price). The cheapest item in the showcase is the Cookie Cream Bomb (280 yen ← in-store price), which is a popular item. There were also baked goods on the tables, such as Financier (200 yen ← in-store price) and Lemon Cake (300 yen ← in-store price) sold individually. The prices are displayed in-store, so it's a bit confusing when calculating for dining in, as you need to deduct 10%. When asking the staff for recommendations, they mentioned that many male customers prefer the Cookie Cream Bomb, but I decided to try the "Rich Gateau Chocolat" (561 yen ← dining in price) based on their suggestion. I chose Earl Grey tea (459 yen ← dining in price) from the four types of hot tea available. The hot tea selection includes tea leaves from "English Tea Shop," a manufacturer that has also participated in department store events like the "British Fair." You order at the counter, and the staff brings the items to your table. The tea and cake were served in cute packaging with the "Sun Tower" logo. However, the tea was served in a paper cup with a tea bag inside, and there was no saucer, so it was a bit awkward to dispose of the used tea bag. The fork was provided, but there were no stirrers, sugar, milk, or fresh cream, and the condiment bar kit was not mentioned. It felt a bit odd not to have the condiment bar kit near the entrance, as it is usually found near the counter. The tea was delicious, and the Rich Gateau Chocolat had a texture closer to a brownie than a regular Gateau Chocolat, with a rich flavor. Overall, it was tasty. The size of the cut cakes at Sun Tower Western Confectionery Shop seemed slightly larger than usual, with a taller height. On a side note, the toilet paper holder in the restroom had a Tutankhamun pattern, which I found interesting.

I've been curious about the cookie tin here since I saw it on Tabelog, and finally decided to come and buy it in person. The store has a chic facade that is not very noticeable from the outside, but once you walk through the door, it's like entering a magical world. In addition to the baked goods, there are various interesting items on display. The cookie tin I was looking for had a vibrant packaging which I couldn't resist buying in bulk. The cakes in the showcase looked like cute plastic toys, and I couldn't help but wonder if they tasted good. The unique atmosphere of the store left me intrigued. When I opened the cookie tin at home, the cookies inside were as delightful as the packaging, and I thought it was worth the slightly higher price. The cookies had a comforting, rich flavor. I definitely want to come back next time to try those cakes.

【Point】 - The interior of the store is filled with exotic atmosphere. - Adorable cakes that can only be eaten at this store. 【Ordered Menu】 - Candle Cake ¥714 A candle cake with a candle buried in the middle that you light yourself. It is made with buttercream, making it quite light and perfect for dessert after a meal. 【Impressions】 This is a branch of the popular cafe in Osaka, Taiyo no To, called Taiyo no To Western Confectionery Store. The store has a unique world view in its interior design, creating an exotic atmosphere. The Candle Cake and another cake shaped like a swan that I had at this store are limited to this Taiyo no To Western Confectionery Store. I was tempted by the limited-time menu using Shine Muscat, but I chose the Candle Cake this time because of the allure of the store-exclusive menu. The Candle Cake has a candle buried inside that you light yourself, giving it the appearance of a candle. It would be even more atmospheric to eat it after dark when the candle is lit. The filling is made with buttercream, and the layers with chocolate are quite easy to eat, making it a dessert that you can easily finish after a meal. In addition to sweets like icing cookies, the store also sells small miscellaneous goods and tableware that match the world view, making it irresistible to buy. This adorable Candle Cake that you can only eat at this store, where you light the candle yourself, was a delightful treat.

I love the interior design so much (;o;)(;o;)(;o;) The Shine Muscat tart is amazing, and I had the best experience trying a pistachio latte for the first time ===========

I love this shop as much as my favorite shop. I also love the atmosphere of this shop. The baked goods are to my liking. Canelés, which I love, make a great souvenir. The drink cups are also cute with original designs.
