Kanbukuro

I arrived just before 5 p.m. and was politely told that dine-in was not available and could only get takeaway, so I placed a takeaway order. I found a nice bench in the park to quietly enjoy my dessert. When I opened the plastic bag, I noticed the staff had thoughtfully included an ice pack to keep it chilled. I took my first bite with high hopes. The texture was absolutely perfect, but honestly, it was just too sweet for me. Great service and thoughtful packaging, but it would be perfect with a little less sugar and hope they can adjust the sweetness level.

A hidden gem - for tourists ! Really subtle, earthy flavors from the green bean (?) paste that was paired with the extremely satisfyingly chewy mochi and refreshing shaved ice. It wasn’t too sweet - highest compliment an Asian can give to a dessert iykyk. Highly recommend, must try local delight.

An Absolutely necessary experience if you are spending any time in osaka and you care to experience beautiful dessert with history. Delicious and standard setting delicacy, royal taste 700 years ago and today.

Kurumimochi is their speciality. It's very tasty rice cake with Zunda(green beans). If you buy a large size, it comes with brown pottery which looks masterpiece.:))

The best traditional sweet shop in Japan! Kurumi-mochi is Sakai's specialty in all times since the 14th century. It's delicious, not too sweet but good sweet. And the shop itself has a very nice traditional design. You should definitely order the one with shaved ice, and eat the ice together with mochi under it. Please be careful not to finish the ice too quick. It's better to balance it with mochi. The shop is usually very crowded in summer even on weekdays, but all customers leave soon after they finish eating, so the lines move very fast. Sometimes the sweet gets sold out around 3pm, so you'd better go before then.

Delicious dessert. The shaved ice has a very special texture to it. The mochi is incredibly smooth. Highly recommended.

I tried their matcha (green tea) kakigori and something similar to a matcha mochi pudding. Both were delicious. It really tasted like matcha, so if you're not a fan you better skip it. You can also buy a box of their delicious mochi there. It's a good souvenir. Local place with really good tea desserts. Nice place to chill.

The kurumi-mochi was incredibly refreshing, just what I needed under those 36C

Shaved KURUMI MOCHI is a cool snack in very traditional style. Firstly you go to cashier to order own menu before sitting. Waiting for some minutes with your wooden number stick, a staff brings your order with calling your number. I think it is a little bit small plate for guys. Don't mind it. They have a single dip and double dip of MOCHI. Water and tea is self serving. Enjoy it!
