"Fujiiya Restaurant Higashi Osaka Store" (Tokuan, Higashi Osaka City, Osaka) "Fujiiya Restaurant" offers an all-you-can-eat cake buffet. There are 21 cake buffet stores, mostly in the Kanto region, with only 3 stores in Osaka and a total of 4 stores west of Shizuoka. You can order up to 2 cakes at a time from the showcase inside the store, and you can have unlimited refills (macarons are not included). The price used to be around 1490 yen including tax, but now it's almost double at 2700 yen. Although I didn't dare to try it at that price, I was intrigued by the black sweets introduced on August 22nd, following Fujiiya Day on February 28th. One of them is the "Black Milky Roll" priced at 490 yen, which made me consider giving the buffet a try. The buffet hours are from 14:00 to 19:15 (last order), and I decided to arrive early at 14:00 to make sure I could eat what I wanted. In the end, I managed to eat 14 cakes worth 6730 yen, including the Black Milky Roll. The one-hour time limit didn't feel too short, but eating only chocolate cakes made it a bit challenging. The showcase was almost empty after about an hour, so I wonder if they refill the cakes later. Overall, the experience was worth it, and I even managed to enjoy the Black Milky Roll I was aiming for.

It was an all-you-can-eat cake buffet, but when I went after a long time, the hours were from 2pm to 7pm. When I arrived around 4pm, there wasn't much of a line... but they gradually added more items. This time there were 3 new cakes. A child was celebrating their birthday and there was a special event to blow out the candles on a Peko-chan cake, but what about adults? I wondered. This time, a group of 4 adults were also celebrating. There were no announcements of names or ages, just the birthday melody and blowing out the candles on the Peko-chan cake. Next door was a Baskin-Robbins ice cream shop, with a Pokemon collaboration display.

In this day and age, I have visited this cake shop several times because of its cost-effectiveness of 2,700 yen per hour (including tax) for all-you-can-eat cakes. However, I have always been unable to completely shake off the artificial (additive) feeling of the ingredients, so whenever I crave sweets, I have satisfied my cravings at a nearby patisserie (high-quality, additive-free). Recently, feeling extremely stressed, I decided to visit this place again after a long time. The start of early summer with a lineup of fresh fruits was also a reason to revisit. Visiting at 2 pm on a weekend, the place was about 90% full. The cakes were all displayed in good condition. The service was good, and I liked the atmosphere of this family restaurant that I rarely visit. However, the conclusion is that I may not visit again. It's not that it's bad, but no matter which cake I ate, I couldn't help but notice the artificial flavors, oily film sensation, and texture, making me hesitant to ingest them. 1. The cherry daifuku had thick and hard mochi. It was different from the additive-free ones at a traditional Japanese sweets shop. The sweetness was not overpowering. It had a mediocre taste. 2. The Hokkaido mascarpone cheese tiramisu was overwhelming in size. The cream was hard, making it clear that it was not homemade and additive-free. It resembled those sold in supermarkets. Since there was little coffee syrup, I added black coffee myself. 3. The Peach & Sour Parfait was chosen because a YouTuber said it was delicious, but perhaps that person has a childlike palate? The sour blancmange had a weak essence and was set with something neither agar nor gelatin, making it unpleasant. It tasted like a cheap candy or Calpis-flavored Chupa Chups. The peach jelly was pleasantly firm, but doubts remained. 4. The "Ms. Mami Became a Cake" was fairly delicious with a rich ganache, but the fluffy sponge was made with cream that was likely not 100% fresh milk, making it unexciting to eat. 5. The Coffee & Chocolate Parfait was reasonably tasty, but the jelly with little moisture was hard, and the cream had an oily film sensation. 6. The Baked Pudding Mountain Cream Puff was disappointing as the pudding was firm with little moisture. The custard cream substitute was unacceptable. The thick, dry choux pastry was the opposite of my preference. Moreover, there was sponge inside the choux pastry...! 7. The Paradise of Domestic Fruits was chosen over the Dolce of Sato Nishiki because it seemed to have a higher fruit ratio. The fruits were easy to eat, but the vanilla mousse was heavy, making it hard to enjoy. The vanilla mousse was delicious in my previous visit, but this time it was too sweet for my liking. 8. The Smooth Cheese Pie was always delicious no matter how many times I ate it. The cheesecakes here are all delicious. 9. The Premium Custard Pudding was additive-free and delicious, a classic choice. It would be even better if the caramel was more bitter. 10. I ended with the Anmitsu as I wanted something light. I had been curious about it but had avoided it because it seemed to be voluminous. Surprisingly, it was all traditional Japanese sweets without unnecessary sponge or cream, simple and delicious. I was able to eat it smoothly. The red bean was very sweet, but the saltiness of the red kidney bean added a nice accent. After trying various cakes, today's number one might be the Anmitsu and hojicha. (I also had iced coffee and iced tea, but they were not great) (Ultimately, I leaned towards items with fewer additives...) I enjoyed 4,680 yen worth of Western-style sweets at a Japanese sweets shop. Thank you for the meal.

I was unable to visit the buffet for a while due to the change in opening hours from 10:00 to 14:00 starting in December, but I was able to visit today on a Saturday evening. The place was not too crowded (about 40%) and most of the items were available. Here is what I had today: 1. Pistachio Mont Blanc - $4.60: It was the last piece available. The pistachio flavor was not very strong, more like a hint of matcha bitterness. The surface was a bit dry. 2. Snow Falling Double Cheesecake - $5.00: The souffle cheesecake part was the most prominent, moist and delicious. The rare cheesecake part had less presence. 3. Tarte Tatin - $5.50: Couldn't taste the almond cream or caramel flavor. The jelly part was firm, similar to a summer jelly texture. 4. Snowman Cake - $5.90: Surprisingly delicious, rich mousse with milk chocolate inside. The raspberry sauce was not very noticeable. 5. Niigata Prefecture Le Lectier Milk Crepe - $3.90 (originally $4.90): The cream was too oily and artificial flavoring was noticeable. 6. Sachertorte - $5.40: A chocolate pie with a hint of sourness from the apricot jam. Firm texture. 7. Double Cream Mont Blanc - $4.29: The chestnut cream was rich and sweet, while the yellow cream was less sweet but lacked chestnut flavor. 8. Baked Double Choux Cream - $2.99: Too much whipped cream, would prefer all custard. 9. Premium Rich Baked Cheesecake - $5.50: A good salty treat. 10. Premium Custard Pudding - $2.00: A usual way to end the meal. I had a total of 10 items for $45.08. With a 10% off coupon from the previous visit, the bill came to $24.30. The quality and convenience of this cake buffet make it a place I might visit again, although it's uncertain when that will be. Thank you for the meal.

I was planning to take a break for a while, but unexpectedly had some free time so I decided to visit the restaurant. I tried the popular Italian shortcake for 680 yen. It was a bit too sweet for my liking, like eating sugar. I couldn't finish it without the acidity of the strawberries. Then I had the Fruit Royale for 621 yen, which had a vanilla mousse base with some kind of citrus fruit mixed in. It was less sweet compared to the Italian shortcake and had a nice balance with the fresh fruits. The Mont Blanc with chestnuts for 680 yen was soft and rich in chestnut flavor, but quite big in size. The Yamagata pear and Shubsto cream pie for 490 yen had a flaky crust that absorbed the pear juice, with a hint of caramel flavor. It was overall delicious. I also tried the adult chocolate cake for 480 yen, craving for something rich and chocolaty. It was delicious but very rich, hitting me hard in the stomach. The Hokkaido smooth cheese pie for 440 yen is always a favorite of mine, with a crispy bottom crust maintaining a good texture. I also tried the baked double cream puff for 299 yen, which had a mild cream and a custard cream layer that I preferred over the whipped cream. Finally, I had the premium custard pudding for 200 yen, which had the usual great taste. In total, I spent 3,890 yen. Unfortunately, the selection of fresh fruits was limited this time, but in summer and autumn, there are more options available. The large portion sizes and the abundance of cream-based desserts made my stomach feel heavy, so I couldn't eat much. I heard that the buffet opening time will change to 2 pm starting next month, which may reduce my visits since I used to come in the morning when I had free time.

From November, the price increased from 2,480 yen to 2,700 yen (tax included), but surprisingly, the restaurant was the busiest it has ever been. The price increase of 500 yen made me hesitate because I could buy a cake with that money, but a 200 yen increase and being under 3,000 yen seemed acceptable. Since opening, there were many customers taking advantage of the cake buffet. Here is what I had this time: 1) Shine Muscat Dolce (560 yen tax included): I wanted to eat this last time, but it wasn't available, so I started with this. It was delicious, with fresh fruits being a high point. 2) Home Pie Chocolate Cake (480 yen): It seemed like a chocolate-coated version of a chocolate cake, with chocolate-flavored home pie instead of a normal one. 3) Plenty of Yamagata Prefecture La France Dolce (581 yen): A huge portion with La France as the main feature. It had a vanilla mousse base and La France compote. 4) Cream Cheese Mont Blanc (460 → 390 yen): A mix of madeleine and sponge cake with a cream cheese topping. The cream was firm but not as rich as expected. 5) Premium Rich Matcha Cake (540 yen): I had this again because it was delicious last time. 6) Hokkaido Smooth Cheese Pie (440 yen): A favorite of mine, better quality and tastier than the Cream Cheese Mont Blanc. 7) Crown Melon Dolce (680 yen): The melon was hard, and the sweetness was almost non-existent, which was disappointing given the high price. 8) Kumamoto Chestnut Mont Blanc (480 yen): A new product with a similar base to the Cream Cheese Mont Blanc, but with a slightly noticeable artificial flavor. 9) Ibaraki Red Angel and Fuji Apple Mont Blanc (440 yen): Not listed on the official website, but I chose it out of curiosity. The base was similar to the Cream Cheese Mont Blanc, but with a stronger artificial flavor. 10) Premium Custard Pudding (200 yen): A reliable and additive-free option. 11) Premium Rich Baked Cheesecake (540 yen): I ended with this for a salty touch. It was high quality and delicious. I spent a total of 5,331 yen. I'm not a fan of whipped cream, but surprisingly, I don't mind the one from this restaurant. I also don't usually like strawberries, but since they are fresh fruits, I might try the Italian Shortcake next time...though I feel like it might be too much after eating all this...

The other day, my family visited this restaurant! My wife had cake, the kids had potatoes, and I had rice, so we all had different purposes but everything was available, making it convenient for us. The menu looked pretty normal in the photos, but when the food arrived at the table, it was quite generous in portion size! I skipped breakfast that day, so I was quite hungry and ordered a large portion of rice, but I think a regular size would have been enough. The taste was what you would expect from a family restaurant, but they have a wide variety of menu options that can be enjoyed by all ages! It's nice that children under 3 can enjoy the drink bar for free, and they even offer baby food service for infants around 5 months old, which I haven't seen at other places. It's great that they have such good services for kids. They gave us some corn paste from Kewpie, and even the younger one ate it all up. Thank you very much!

I tend to stick to the same place for a quick cake buffet in the mornings, so I revisited this place less than a month later. Unfortunately, the grape and shine muscat desserts I enjoyed last time were not available this time. Instead, I tried the following items today: 1. Premium Rich Matcha Cake (540 yen tax included): This cake was delicious with a rich matcha flavor and a layer of ganache in the center, providing a good balance of flavors. 2. Italian Cheese Cake (Cassata) (480 yen): This cake had a creamy texture with a hint of lemon and included raisins and nuts. 3. Aomori Fuji Apple Pie (480 yen): The pie crust was soft rather than crispy, and the caramel flavor was not very noticeable. 4. Premium Custard Pudding (200 yen) 5. Glittering Fruit Tart (540 yen): The tart crust was a bit dry, but the fruits and cream were tasty. 6. Savarin (440 yen): A brioche soaked in rum syrup with a custard filling. 7. Pudding Parfait (432 yen) 8. Hokkaido Smooth Cheese Pie (440 yen): My favorite among the three cheese cakes available. 9. Miyazaki Mango Pudding (399 yen): The balance of sweetness and acidity was good, but the texture was a bit off, resembling frozen then thawed vegetables. 10. Premium Rich Matcha Cake (540 yen tax included): I wanted to try this limited-time item again. 11. White Peko-chan Cheek (Milky Cream 138 ▶️ 108 yen): A fluffy cake with milky cream inside. In total, I spent 4599 yen including transportation costs. While nothing was particularly outstanding, the quality was consistent and the value for money was good. I may visit again in the future.

This time, I visited during weekday opening hours. I came to finish what I couldn't eat last time, but it seemed a bit less this time, maybe because it was a weekday and there was some empty space in the showcase. Fujiya seems to release new products quite frequently. Also, there were some items not listed on the website, so I had to change my list of things I wanted to eat. Here is what I had today: 1. Hokkaido Smooth Cheese Pie (440 yen tax included) - The largest regular cheesecake. Moist bottom crust, smooth texture without acidity or strong flavor. 2. Kyoho Grape Rare Cheesecake (460 yen) - Very soft rare cheesecake mousse without acidity or strong flavor, with a crispy feuillantine accent. Unfortunately, the jelly seemed cheap due to the use of artificial flavors. However, the overall taste was very good. 3. Aomori Apple Pie (399 yen -> 299 yen) - Moist crust absorbing apple moisture, lacking cinnamon flavor. The apples were crunchy but too chilled. Tasted good when eaten with the custard from the parfait and pie crust. 4. Pudding Parfait (432 yen) - Fresh kiwi, pink grapefruit, and white peach compote with smooth pudding and custard. Creamy and sweet, but the custard at the bottom was too thick and sweet. 5. Rich Matcha Cake (399 yen) - Lack of matcha flavor and bitterness, average sponge. Would have been better with a thicker layer of bitter cream. 6. Premium Rich Baked Cheesecake (520 yen -> 420 yen) - Authentic cheesecake with a hint of salt, just the right size. 7. Adult Chocolate Cake (480 yen) - Tasty but slightly lower quality compared to a patisserie. Dense bottom, not too sweet or heavy. Could be improved by adding more bitterness. 8. Irregular Shine Muscat Dolce (560 yen) - Luxurious with 4 muscat grapes, natural flavor without artificial additives. High quality cream and vanilla mousse, not too sweet. 9. Fluffy Souffle Cheesecake (399 yen) - Moist and light sponge, perfect for when you want to enjoy cheese. 10. Kagoshima Anno Mont Blanc (440 yen) - Soft purple sweet potato cream, unfortunately with artificial orange sweet potato scent. Tasty but would be better without artificial flavors. Today I had 10 items totaling 4,329 yen. Personally, I'm not a fan of cream or mousse, but Fujiya's were delicious. When choosing, I have to be careful about unnatural flavors. It would be better if they relied on quality ingredients instead of artificial flavors.

I went after a long time. This time, I didn't go for all-you-can-eat, but ordered a set amount to eat. I tried the Italian shortcake, W Mont Blanc, milk crepe, Hokkaido Rairaiden, and melon parfait for the first time. The Italian shortcake was delicious, especially for fans of Fujiya. It had a lot of whipped cream and strawberries on a sponge cake base. The sponge cake was not very noticeable, but the cream and strawberries were abundant. It was a satisfying cake experience. The W Mont Blanc and milk crepe were as good as always. The melon parfait was new to me. It had a nice balance of sweetness with fruits and jelly, making it easy to eat.

The cost performance was not great and there were no other restaurants I wanted to visit, so I decided to try this place that had caught my eye for a while. The adult price was 2,480 yen (tax included) with a 60-minute drink bar included. I brought a note with the specified usage time to the showcase and was able to order up to 2 items at a time. I arrived at the restaurant at 10:00 am on weekends as it tends to get crowded with families. It was mentioned that reservations are not accepted on weekends. As rumored, they gave me about 10 minutes extra, so it was actually 70 minutes. During my visit, there were two groups of solo female customers and families started coming in around 11:00 am. When I checked an hour later, the place was almost full, showing how popular it is. Below are the items I ordered today: 1. Peach Melba with Yamagata Mochizuki White Peach (490 yen) 2. Hokkaido Smooth Cheese Pie (440 yen) 3. Charcoal Roasted Coffee Tiramisu (440 yen) 4. Adult Chocolate Cake (480 yen) 5. Premium Chocolate Fresh Cake (520 yen) 6. Premium Rich Baked Cheesecake (520 yen) 7. Longing Mille-feuille (460 yen) 8. Premium Mont Blanc (520 yen, discounted to 420 yen) 9. Gold and Silver (Cream Puff) (160 yen, discounted to 100 yen) 10. Premium Custard Pudding (200 yen) 11. Hokkaido Melon Milk Crepe (440 yen) Overall, the desserts were delicious, with some highlights and a few disappointments.

It had been a while since I last visited, and the prices had gone up. The all-you-can-eat option was around 500 yen. A premium shortcake was priced at 650 yen! This time, they didn't have pudding. I had four pieces and that was it. The citrus cake was light and delicious. They also had cake sets with 2, 3, or 4 pieces. I think I'll come here next time since the prices have gone up. Sometimes I crave Fujiya cakes. Cream is really delicious, isn't it? (◍•ᴗ•◍)

I keep going back there no matter how many times. I just love that taste... I always go around noon. I always get 6 of them. This time, I got a bit of heartburn (lol). Black coffee goes well with the sweetness. They say that if you go in the evening, the selection of items starts to run out, so I recommend going around noon if you can. You can still choose from a variety of items. The lunch menu looks exciting too. I often see people ordering curry or hamburg steak depending on the day of the week.

Located in Kawachiya~ I tried to make effective use of a small empty space that could be called a backyard, desperately removing grass and stones, digging up the ground, compacting it again, and solidifying it with mortar. Once it dried, I decided to build a villa for the residents of the garden here, so I went shopping at Cainz for the necessary items. On the way back, or rather to buy additional items, I stopped by Frespo. I remember that I used to visit Fujika Restaurant a few times before getting married, but it has been a while. I think it was in Uji City on Route 24. I also remember there was one in Ibaraki City on Route 171. Anyway, it's been a while. I don't dislike it, and the menu is exciting. I was particularly drawn to the "Adult Kids' Lunch," so I ordered that. My wife ordered the "Spaghetti Pesca Tora & Eggplant Milanese Doria." When I saw the "Milky Soft Serve Ice Cream Parfait," I was like, yes, that's it! I'll have that. Then, when I said, "Two Strawberry Milky Soft Serve Ice Cream Parfaits," my wife said, "Oh no, I'm fine with just one." What's up with that? I won't share, not even a bite. Now, the "Adult Kids' Lunch." This is truly a meal for adults. Hamburger, shrimp fry, crab cream croquette, omurice - a luxurious lineup. It's an all-star team. If there was curry on the omurice or something, it would be perfect. Oh, I also want some fried chicken. So close! But you know what makes it truly an adult kids' lunch? It has a total of 1,238kcal in calories. And for Kawachiya, who eats parfait, it's almost a full day's worth in just this one meal. The Milky Soft Serve Ice Cream Parfait was enjoyable and I finished it alone. Definitely not sharing! Let's come back again.

I went to the cake buffet for the second time. This time, I ate 6 pieces again. It was not crowded probably because it was a weekday, so I was able to relax. It was during lunchtime, and I saw people from nearby companies and elderly couples using the buffet. It seems like it's easy for anyone to use regardless of age. The first time I went was on a Sunday, and it was crowded with families. It was also during lunchtime, and there was a line when we left the restaurant.

Hello~♪ It's Sunday, but unfortunately it's raining, so I can't take the dogs for a walk. They're feeling antsy staying at home. I wanted to bring the kids to the Fujiya Restaurant, but it's full. We had to wait for a bit before being seated. My wife and sister-in-law went for the cake buffet! I wasn't planning on eating that much cake, but go ahead and enjoy yourselves! My little sister ordered the kids' meal, and we got a mini parfait as a gift for adding the restaurant on LINE. I had the iron pot spaghetti. They still do the birthday celebration where they announce the birthday kid and everyone claps. My wife and sister-in-law were excited about the cake buffet with free drinks. The kids' meal looked really good, and my little one was eating well. The free mini parfait was surprisingly good. My spaghetti was delicious, with firm pasta and tasty sausages. The cake buffet duo didn't eat much, but that's expected with the sweet cakes at Fujiya. Maybe next time we'll come for the little one's birthday, but they're shy, so we'll see. Fujiya Restaurant is so much fun! Thank you for reading!

There is no parfait! From January 15th, the dessert buffet has changed to a cake buffet, and items like parfaits, anmitsu, and milky soft serve are no longer available. The price remains the same, but now you can only eat cakes. I wanted to try the 3 types of cheese Mont Blanc, but they were not available even when I visited two weeks after the release date. When I asked, I was told they were no longer being sold, despite being listed as a new dessert on the website. This particular store used to have a wide variety of options, but recently the selection has been limited. I tried all 6 new desserts at the strawberry fair this time. With the recent changes, the lack of parfaits and other items, and the unchanged price, it feels a bit overpriced. There are cake shops in town offering all-you-can-eat for 1,500 yen (tax included), and even at Sweet Paradise, you can have Haagen-Dazs ice cream, soft serve, and light meals for 1,490 yen (tax included). The taste and quality of the cakes are not significantly different from mass-produced factory cakes, so without options like ice cream, soft serve, it's hard to justify going back for the cake-only buffet. I slightly lowered my rating as a result. Thank you for the meal.

Peach Melba~♪ From the fruit fair, the Yamagata Prefecture-produced Mochizuki Peach Melba made its debut on July 3rd as a limited-time item, so I went early to try it out. On this day, there were a total of 38 items available in the buffet! Peach Melba! I also wanted to try the Golden Pine Rare Cheesecake♪ First plate started with 2 Peach Melba. At the bottom, there was a light custard cream, a thin sponge cake, half of a syrup-soaked peach, and peach jelly coated all around. Yamagata Prefecture white peaches were used, and some were quite hard to cut with a fork. The taste was lightly sweet despite being soaked in syrup, which balanced well with the sweetness of the sponge and cream, although for me, the cream and sponge were a bit too sweet... Second plate was the Golden Pine Rare Cheesecake along with Peach Melba. The Golden Pine Rare Cheesecake had a refreshing acidity in the rare cheesecake mousse layered with pineapple jelly and sponge, topped with syrup-soaked pineapples. It was not too sweet and quite delicious! Third plate was the Sweet Summer Bavarois Cake and Peach Melba. The Sweet Summer Bavarois Cake was overall not too sweet, with a firm bavarois and a slightly dry sponge, but the sweet summer peach was syrup-soaked yet not overly sweet, lacking a sense of unity... it was not tasty. Fourth plate was the Hokkaido Smooth Cheesecake Double Choux (Country Ma'am). I was looking forward to the taste of the Hokkaido cream and Country Ma'am, but the Hokkaido cream was more dominant, and the Country Ma'am flavor was not very noticeable. Fifth plate was the Oven-Baked Double Choux (Setouchi Oonaga Lemon) and Peach Melba. The oven-baked choux had a substantial choux pastry that felt like eating bread, filled with lemon cream, custard cream, and chantilly cream, but the lemon acidity was subtle, making it quite heavy. Sixth plate consisted of 2 Peach Melba and Milky Soft Serve. Seventh plate had 1 Peach Melba, Neapolitan Ice Cream (without chocolate ice cream). I had a total of 8 Peach Melba and 2 servings of cake, marking a personal record of 13 cakes and 2 ice creams at Fujiya. The cakes at Fujiya are usually large and overly sweet, making it hard to eat many, but this time there were mostly fruits, or rather almost entirely fruits, so I could eat a lot. There was no limit on the number of servings, so I could truly enjoy the peaches and left satisfied♪ Thank you for the meal.

Fujiya has been around since a long time ago. When I was a child, going out to Fujiya was a special treat. It was a rare feast for children in the 1970s. Now, time has passed, we are in the Reiwa era, dealing with COVID-19, and the atmosphere still calls for avoiding eating out. So, I decided to get some cakes to go. It had been a while since I had Fujiya cakes. I stood in front of the display window, pondering over the wide variety of options. The cream puffs were very cheap. The Mont Blanc cake brought back nostalgic memories. It had been decades since I last visited Fujiya, but it was enjoyable. The taste was decent for the price. They also offer a cake buffet plan, which seems like a fun experience. I also became interested in the roast beef ramen with chicken white broth that they had at the restaurant. I might try making it myself.

Fujiya Restaurant offers all-you-can-eat cake! Of course, they also serve Japanese cuisine, but they are famous for their unlimited cake buffet. The buffet lasts for 60 minutes and includes a drink bar. You can eat as much cake as you want from the showcase, with a limit of 2 plates at a time. I managed to eat 8 pieces, which was quite filling but satisfying.
