Connected to Osaka Nakanoshima Station, there is the Regal Royal Hotel. In front of the check-in counter, there is a food takeout shop. Besides bread, they also have chocolates and grilled items. I read on Tabelog that the bread is delicious, so I decided to go and buy some. There were more types than I expected, and there were interesting breads as well. I like hard bread, so I bought a variety to try during my stay. I especially liked the "Sesame Spicy Bacon Baguette". It costs 390 yen before tax, but it was so delicious! It has a good amount and can be a proper meal on its own. The balance of flavors is excellent! The potato bread and French bread were also delicious in their simplicity. There was someone buying a lot of Cherry Danish, so I bought some too, and it was not too sweet and very tasty. Overall, there were many elegant and flavorful breads. They also had anchovy-based bread, which is something you would expect from a high-end bakery. I also bought the Regal Royal Hotel's original custard pudding and chocolate pudding. They lasted quite long, so I gave them as souvenirs to my friends. They also had items from famous Osaka restaurants in the restaurant area available for takeout. It's easy to enter, and just taking a look is interesting. I really liked the hard bread! Thank you for the meal. Bread is so fascinating.

I visited the Royal Hotel for the first time in over 20 years, since attending a company orientation event as a job seeker. There is a bakery on the first floor. I visited on a Thursday at 5pm and there were a few customers. The most popular bread is the Milk France for ¥320. It is indeed very delicious. The bread is fluffy and the cream is not too sweet, making it very tasty.

Liga Royal Hotel (Osaka) 1st floor bakery gourmet boutique Melissa "Soft Donuts 5 pieces" is the most delicious! The sugar on the donuts seems to have been reduced a bit... It's perfect for a small souvenir.

The Royal Hotel in Osaka (now the Riga Royal Hotel) is a wonderful hotel capable of VIP treatment like welcoming dignitaries. Despite this, it doesn't give off a high-end impression and has a friendly atmosphere. To celebrate their 50th anniversary, I chose some delicious bread from the bakery "Melissa" inside the hotel. I purchased four types of bread. The most popular "Milk France" is a soft French bread filled with generous cream. It's a sweet bread that kids will love. The two curry breads, "Spicy Curry Stick" and "Summer Vegetable Spicy Calzone," have a slightly spicy curry flavor. Perfect for hot summer days. The "Chewy Potato Bread" is like a large French bread. Despite its soft dough, it has a firm texture. This bread is delicious on its own, but also great sliced with cheese and ham sandwiched in between. The original bread is so tasty that it enhances the flavors. You can't underestimate the taste of the famous hotel's long-established bakery.

On the 14th day of Obon, I visited before 11 o'clock. The lineup ranged from just over 300 yen to around 400 yen. Well, it's Le Gourmet Royale, so it's expected to be expensive. The bacon and cheese one was okay. The milk French bread was just average. It may seem slightly better quality than convenience store bread, but that might just be biased because it was bought at Le Gourmet Royale. If someone said it was bought from a convenience store, I probably wouldn't be able to tell. The cream bun was similar.

Croissant, Salsa Chilidog, and Hotel's Curry Pan (1000 yen) all without waiting in line. A high-class bakery located inside Riga Royal. The store is spacious and well-organized. The most delicious item was the croissant. The layers of dough are stacked high, providing a satisfyingly crisp texture when bitten into, and you can taste the premium butter. It was delicious all the way to the aftertaste. I definitely want to visit again.

I visited in the early evening on a regular day. The interior of the shop was spacious and there were still quite a few breads left. I bought a chiffon and a bread with a name on it to take out. They were indeed fluffy and delicious as their names suggest. Since they are hotel breads, I felt that the prices were a bit on the higher side overall. I can't afford to go there every time, but once in a while should be fine.

The bakery in the hotel has a wonderful atmosphere, with a wide variety of delicious breads. Just looking around the store makes you happy. This time, I got the Milk France to go. The combination of the deep flavor, fluffy dough, and creamy milk filling was really good. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Bakery located in the Ritz-Carlton Osaka. You can take a shuttle bus from Osaka Station to get there. I stayed there last autumn but didn't have time to visit the bakery, so I'm glad I got to go this time. Here's what I bought: - Hojicha Caramel Roll (343 yen): Surprising combination but the deep flavor of hojicha and the sweetness of caramel go well together. The pastry texture is also good. - Roasted Butter Melon Pan (306 yen): Looks like a regular melon pan but the aroma of roasted butter in the dough is amazing. It's sprinkled with coarse sugar on top. - Hojicha Salt Butter Bread (269 yen): Soft bread filled with plenty of hojicha cream. Elegant taste with a hint of tea aroma. - Satsuma Butter Bread (232 yen): Chunks of sweet potato inside. Enjoyed the balance between softness and crispiness. This bakery has a history of 50 years. I hope they continue baking delicious bread in the future.

Melissa, selected as one of the top 100 stores, offers a Milk France that is soft and full of melt-in-your-mouth milk, so delicious! The Vienna sausage roll has a good aroma and is tasty, perfect for those who enjoy hard bread. The baguette dough with mustard kneaded in is excellent! The cheese croissant has plenty of cheese, which was a pleasant surprise. Thank you for the feast! ✨

Milk France Croissant I don't usually eat bread like Milk France, but it seemed popular so I decided to try it. I had it for breakfast and was impressed by the deliciousness of Milk France. I felt the greatness of the bakery inside a famous hotel.

My wife and I stopped by Melissa on the first floor of the hotel on the way back from my wife's birthday lunch. We have bought bread from here a few times before without knowing it was a famous bakery. Today, we bought the most popular Milk French and Boulangerie. The gentle and soft taste of milk paired well with the bread dough, and it was very delicious. The Boulangerie had a good aroma on the surface, and its chewy texture went well with cheese and wine, which we enjoyed together. I would like to try various other types of bread next time.

To commemorate the shop's 50th anniversary, there were many products lined up at the entrance. Exclusive items for patissiers were displayed, such as bread and desserts. The variety of products was so vast that it was enjoyable and not boring at all. The location is on the first floor of the Rihga Royal Hotel Osaka, which is very close to Nakanoshima Station. The shop has been open for 50 years, and the Rihga Royal Hotel Osaka, founded in 1965, is nearing its 60th anniversary. I only had a short 10-minute stop, so I quickly chose my favorite bread to purchase. I wanted to see cakes and various side dishes, but unfortunately, I couldn't see them at all. I bought a crispy melon pan and a chocolate-filled Danish, both of which were priced at less than 300 yen each, making it a reasonable purchase. Even if they were a bit more expensive, I feel that the price range is also part of the charm. These items were perfect as souvenirs from Osaka. Thank you for the feast!

A shop with a variety of delicious and stylish foods such as bread, cakes, baked goods, and small deli items. I bought bread for snacks and it was so delicious that I had it for breakfast and as a souvenir. They have a wide range of breads from hard, fluffy, crispy, sweet, and savory. There were many matcha-flavored breads, which seemed to be popular among tourists. ① White one is "Tofu Bread", fluffy and gentle flavor. ② The green, long one is "Matcha Milk Bread", with matcha in the bread dough and cream, creating a perfect harmony of matcha bitterness and cream sweetness. ③ The swirl one is "Black Tea Cream", with plenty of black tea leaves for a fragrant taste. ④ "Matcha Croissant" is crispy with red bean paste inside, incredibly delicious! ⑤ The round, brown one is "Hojicha Bostock", with an intense flavor that goes well with coffee. Notes: - The shop is located on the first floor of the hotel. - Next time, I want to try the savory bread. - Prices are a bit high. - I tend to buy too much. - The deli items also look delicious.

"Located at the Riga Royal Hotel Osaka, about an 8-minute walk from JR Tozai Line Shin-Fukushima Station in Osaka's Kita Ward, is the bakery 'Melissa'. Visited on May 26, 2023. It was ranked as one of the top 100 bakeries in the west in 2022! It's a high-end shop with a luxurious feel. Purchased the 'Milk France' for 320 yen and the 'Burnt Butter-Scented Melon Pan' for 330 yen. The most popular item, Milk France, is not as hard as French bread, but fluffy and easy to eat. It has a slightly sweet and rich cream that is delicious. This milk bread is truly outstanding! The Burnt Butter-Scented Melon Pan is also delicious. The crispy texture is nice. The buttery aroma is delightful, and the inside is moist without the typical dryness of melon bread. It's just delicious! The caramelized sugar adds a nice sweetness to it, truly living up to its reputation as a high-end melon bread. Thank you for the meal!"

I have used the Rihga Royal Hotel Osaka many times in the past, but I mostly only go to the meeting rooms and have never stayed overnight or used the restaurant. This might be my second time coming here? I feel like I came once about 10 years ago. The hotel has a long history, as indicated by the logo celebrating its 50th anniversary on the shuttle bus. - Milk France ¥320 (tax included) When there are too many options to choose from, I tend to go with the best-selling item. This is a classic product found in any bakery, but it has a luxurious feel with its shiny bread. I'm not sure if the crunchy texture of the milk cream comes from sugar that doesn't completely melt or intentionally leaving some unmelted. Personally, I prefer smoother cream, but the taste is fine with a gentle sweetness from condensed milk. It's easy to eat a lot, so be careful not to overindulge. In addition to bread, they also offer gift sets and deli items, which seem versatile for various uses.

This is a bakery selected as one of the top 100 in bread, but they also offer cakes, soups, and side dishes. It is open to guests staying at the hotel as well as non-guests. The prices are relatively reasonable for a hotel. Around noon on weekdays, there were a few customers already there. The aisles are wide and easy to shop in. [What I bought] Hojicha bostock ¥269, Hotel curry bread ¥334. Sorry, but to be honest, it was just okay... There was nothing particularly unique or special about the menu. I think it's popular because it's from the "Hotel Regal Royal Bakery." However, it's not that the food is bad, so it could be convenient for locals to use. Sorry for being critical. Thank you for the meal.

During my trip to Osaka, I stayed at the Rihga Royal Hotel. On the first floor of the hotel, there is a takeout shop called "Rihga Royal Hotel Gourmet Boutique Melissa" with the concept of "bringing the taste of the hotel to your home." I purchased the most popular Milk French and Custard Cornet for breakfast on my last day. They were awarded the Pan WEST Top 100 Stores 2022. The bread at this hotel is truly amazing, living up to its reputation as the Osaka State Guest House. It's completely different from regular bread!

A slightly luxurious bakery located on the 1st floor of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. It's best to go in the morning when there are still many pastries available without waiting in line. I tried the Earl Grey milk bread and the cheese croissant sausage bread. Despite the high level of evolution in bakeries these days, the taste of the pastries reminded me of the good old days. It's a nostalgic flavor. There are Paris Baguette and Le Croquembouche nearby, so personally, I don't think I'll revisit.
