I had some business to attend to in Osaka and since I hadn't been around Kyobashi for about a year, I decided to take revenge on Instagram when I found out that Momopafe had started. I had to go eat it! I will be going to Osaka Castle Hall on the weekend, so I will aim for this timing. Currently (during the peach season and popular items), there are two reservation methods available: 1. Make a reservation on the Torque Hen website 2. Register at the store on the day of (from around 9:00 am) I decided to challenge the website reservation this time. 1. Reservations start at 8:00 pm on the Monday one week before the desired date. 2. Select the date and time (about 1-hour slots) and the number of people (1-4 people). It's a reservation for seats only. This completes the reservation. There are about 10 groups of reservations, so it's quite competitive. In my case, the reservations were full at 8:08 pm (it was 8:05 pm the following week). Registering at the store involves writing your name, number of people, etc. at the entrance of the store. This method has a higher chance of success as there are more reservation slots available. The location for the peach season is such that the parfait never sells out until the final time. However, it's better to go early to be safe. I reserved the time slot from 11:30 to 12:30 and entered the store right on time. The seats were already full, but takeout was possible. I ordered the long-awaited premium selection and an iced coffee. I sat at my table and waited eagerly. Momopafes were being served one after the other. It seems everyone orders the same thing. Finally, my Momopafe arrived. Overwhelming peach! The three layers on top of the parfait dish were impressive. I carefully rescued the peach with gloves. The peach was filled with custard cream, fromage cream, and pistachio cream. I first tried the peach on its own. It was juicy, soft, perfectly ripe, with an elegant sweetness, a hint of acidity, and a refreshing aftertaste. The pistachio cream had a strong pistachio flavor, which combined perfectly with the peach. The fromage cream had a cheese-like acidity, making it the lightest of all. It paired well with the peach. The custard cream was sweet and went perfectly with the peach's aroma. Under all the peaches, there was a maple-flavored chiffon acting as a lid. It was a nice touch. I then proceeded to eat the rest of the parfait, which included peach sherbet, maple nut ice cream, vanilla ice cream, cut peaches, and jelly. Each component was delicious, with a perfect balance of flavors and textures. I ended up feeling quite full after finishing the whole peach-filled feast. It was truly a well-deserved treat. The restaurant is often featured on TV and in magazines, so I have a feeling it will continue to be a popular spot. I can't wait to try other fruit parfaits there! I will be back! On a side note, on July 8th and 9th, I will be attending Nana Mizuki's live concert at Osaka Castle Hall.

I lined up to sign in because the reservation on the restaurant's website ended early. I visited on a Sunday morning at 8:05 and there were already about 6 groups waiting. Since there wasn't much parking nearby, I think a revisit would be difficult. I shared a three-tier peach parfait with a friend because I thought it would be too much for one person. Many people around me were trying to finish the three tiers on their own. The sweetness of the peaches wasn't too strong, but overall, I thought the parfait was delicious.

Torukūhen, a cake shop in Jōtō-ku, Osaka City, often features on Instagram! Right now, they have Momopafe! Do you need a reservation to enjoy it in-store? If you're lucky, you might be able to go without a reservation! I didn't make a reservation, so I got the Momopafe for takeout! You can go for takeout without a reservation! There's a big peach sitting on top of it, and diced peaches at the bottom of the parfait. Delicious! Thank you for the meal! ＼(^o^)／

I had the pleasure of enjoying a Peach Zanmai parfait with 1.5 servings. I wonder if there are people who can eat 3.5 servings?? I wish I had a stomach that could take on that challenge. The peaches were perfectly cool and soft. The combination of peach ice cream and maple walnut ice cream was divine. It was a blissful experience. When I arrived around 8:45 on Saturday, there were about 10 people in line. I made a reservation at 9:00 and arrived at the store at 11:00. Just for your reference.

Arrived at the shop around 9:50 on Friday and the reservation board was already filling up quickly. I had a lunch reservation in Kobe at 3 pm, so I made a reservation for the shaved ice at 3:30 pm. When I returned at 3:30, there was only one group of customers ahead of me. It seems like some people didn't come back, as there were still empty seats until the end. The owner's grandfather is a peach farmer, so they can consistently source delicious peaches. I ordered the special PLATINUM shaved ice with 3.5 scoops for 3,255 yen, made with 100% domestic white peaches and mango pudding. The peaches are transferred to a plate using vinyl gloves before you eat them. Inside the peach, there are three types of cream: custard, fromage, and pistachio. The peach parfait is made with maple chiffon cake, peach ice cream, maple walnut ice cream, vanilla ice cream, 0.5 peaches, peach jelly, and various other ingredients. The balance of flavors is excellent, but the standout is the deliciousness of the peaches. It was incredibly delicious! The parfait changes with the seasons, so it seems like a spot worth visiting when in Osaka.

This peach parfait has been buzzing a few times, but since I saw it on Twitter a long time ago, I've been waiting for the right moment. I heard that you can make a reservation online, so I took a chance and tried to book it. I managed to secure a reservation by constantly refreshing the page at 8 p.m. on Monday! It seems that the slots for two weeks were sold out in just 5 minutes... You can choose from 1 to 3 peaches. I chose 3 without hesitation because each cream inside is different! The cream-filled peaches and parfait were very delicious. The custard cream on the top was my favorite, a firm and rich type. The maple chiffon and peach sandwiched in between were a perfect match. Truly a genius to create the peach trio parfait, patisserie Ataoka! I was a little worried about finishing it because I had a heavy lunch, but I had no problem at all. Peach is definitely drinkable! I recommend this luxurious dessert to those who love peaches rather than parfaits.

After leaving the standing bar in Kyobashi, I resisted the temptation to go bar hopping and instead headed to satisfy my sweet tooth at a cake shop called "Torukūhen" that I had bookmarked for a while. I remember seeing it featured on a local TV show a few years ago. This shop is known for its popular parfait, and I've always wanted to visit after a day of day drinking. Located just a short walk south of Neyagawa, the shop had a somewhat understated and slightly historic exterior, giving off a nice atmosphere. There was only one group of girls as customers when I arrived. It seemed like the shop mainly focused on takeout cakes, but I made it clear that I wanted to eat in and ordered the "Strawberry and Creamy Pudding Parfait (Tree-style)/1,958 yen" and an "Iced Coffee/395 yen" at the order counter. The only option available at this time of year was the strawberry parfait. I paid with PayPay and sat at the designated table at the back of the shop. The iced coffee arrived first, and I sipped on it while waiting for the parfait, which took quite a long time. I passed the time by browsing through the timeline on Tabelog on my phone. After about 20 minutes, a male staff member finally brought out the strawberry parfait, which was topped with plenty of strawberries as expected from the "Tree-style" description. It looked very Instagram-worthy. The sweet and sour strawberries, the sweetness of the pudding, and the caramel-flavored sponge cake all complemented each other perfectly. There was a small amount of strawberry jelly at the bottom of the container. The sweetness was so overwhelming that I devoured it surprisingly quickly. It was a satisfying dessert to end the meal. I look forward to visiting again in a different season to try the Mont Blanc or peach parfait. Feeling the pleasant rise in blood sugar, I left Kyobashi on the Keihan train.

At Torukohen, the Strawberry and Pistachio Flower Parfait Flower Ver.++++ is a delightful treat with the fresh scent of strawberries and Sicilian pistachios. It contains pistachio cream, maple chiffon cake, strawberry jelly, and is topped with yogurt cream for a lighter finish. There are 7 different types of strawberry parfaits available, and this one allows you to enjoy pistachios as well. The difference between this and the Tree Ver. is the number of strawberries. The yogurt cream has a minimal sourness, almost like whipped cream, which is great for those who love dairy fat. The pistachio cream is incredibly delicious, and the maple chiffon cake leaves a lasting impression. The chiffon cake is quite large, making it more like a luxurious cake with elaborate decorations rather than a traditional parfait. I would like to try the pistachio cake and shaved pistachio ice cream next time.

I visited the shop again, this time for the strawberries! Unlike during peach season when you have to line up early in the morning, now you can enjoy them without waiting in line. I ordered the Strawberry and Pistachio Parfait (Strawberry Petal version) and the Strawberry and freshly baked pie Parfait. Both were really delicious and you could taste the abundance of strawberries! The freshly baked pie in the parfait was especially delicious, and it was a nice touch to have warm pie in the parfait. Torukuhenn never disappoints! I personally loved the freshly baked pie, and having it in the parfait was a delightful surprise. Next time, I'll try the peach parfait! Thank you for the meal!

On the way to the shop I was heading to, I decided to buy something first in case it closes soon. I like Mont Blanc, so I bought a high-end cheesecake that is ranked number 1 in nationwide mail order rankings. It cost 896 yen for one piece. It's a bit pricey, but let's move on to the next place. When I tried a bite at home, it had a rich and intense flavor that is typical of this type of shop. I'm not sure if it suits my taste, to be honest.

I couldn't go to the popular peach place this time, but I definitely want to go next year. This time, I had this parfait: Rich Pistachio and Shine Muscat Parfait for 1,958 yen. It had a really delicious combination. The pistachio Mont Blanc cream with Shine Muscat was so tasty. Sometimes pistachio can be disappointing at some places, but the pistachio Mont Blanc cream here was incredibly delicious. The rich pistachio sauce added a nice accent and enhanced the overall flavor. Inside, there was also pistachio pudding which was so creamy and amazing. It was a pistachio lover's dream! The refreshing acidity of Shine Muscat and lemon sorbet also matched perfectly, making it irresistible. I highly recommend this place to pistachio lovers. After we left, someone who was initially skeptical about the appearance of the parfait ended up admitting that it was really delicious. It was truly delicious! I can't wait to try the other parfaits at this place again.

Selected PLATINUM large-sized peaches 3.5 are used(*^^*) Each one has custard, fromage, and pistachio cream inside, with ice and jelly at the bottom, which is also delicious♡ The large peaches were not very sweet, more on the refreshing side. When eaten with the sweet cream inside, it's just right♬ It was impossible for me to go to register at 8 am, so I saw it on their Instagram story, called to make a reservation, and then visited(^^) It took me 2 years from when I first thought about going (lol) All the menu items looked incredibly delicious, and the cheesecake seems to be famous!! I'll definitely go back and try more(*^^*)

I arrived at the shop around 8:30 in the morning! I woke up super early, it was tough haha, but once I ate this parfait, all the tiredness disappeared haha. I was surprised by its size, and each cream inside had a different delicious flavor. Waking up early is a must, but I want to challenge it again next year! Thank you for the meal.

Visited the restaurant on a weekend in July to try the limited edition three-tier peach parfait available only during the summer. Since they don't take reservations during this time, I had to write my name on a reservation sheet placed outside the restaurant at 8 AM. When I arrived at 6 PM, there was already a line of people waiting. The place quickly filled up as more and more customers arrived. The restaurant was small and cozy. The parfait I wanted was huge, but surprisingly easy to finish as it mainly consisted of fruits and ice cream. The shaved ice here is also delicious, so I will definitely be returning.

I went to try the peach parfait that I found on Instagram! The peach parfait seems to be limited-time only. It was filled with sweet peaches, cheese cream, and pistachio cream, making me feel very happy. I would love to go back when the season comes again.

I had made a reservation but only for the peach parfait. The inside of the restaurant was okay, with the air conditioning on full blast. It might have just been the table I was seated at. When I go to eat shaved ice, I always wear thick clothes because I get really cold while waiting. The shaved ice was pretty delicious. It was so cold that I wish they also served hot water. The pistachio parfait and ice cream were rich and tasty. The seating area was quite small and the prices were a bit high. The tables for two had three chairs, so it was a bit cramped. It's a popular place, so I guess it can't be helped.

Yesterday's sweets were the number one choice in the sweets category selected by the expert in ordering sweets #Torkuchen. The aged cheese cake #Premium Cheese Torte is exceptionally delicious, with a great cheese aroma that lingers even after eating. The #Pistachio Mont Blanc is luxurious with a generous amount of pistachios used. It's surprising to find such a shop in the middle of a residential area quite a walk from Kyobashi, Osaka. It's a good shop where you can also eat in (^-^)。。。#Sweets Uncle

【Osaka/Kyobashi】I went to the popular patisserie "Torukūhen" to buy a surprisingly smooth cheesecake and a generous amount of creamy cream-filled maritozzo with a gentle sweetness. Located in a quiet residential area about a 5-minute walk from the south exit of JR Kyobashi Station in Osaka, this patisserie is run by Chef Okamoto, who trained at a renowned patisserie in Heidelberg, Germany. The shop is known for its premium cheesecake, "Kaze Torte," which took three years to perfect and has been ranked as the top choice for mail-order desserts. The cheesecake, priced at 880 yen per slice, is made with carefully selected ingredients and a special aging process, resulting in a rich and smooth texture with a balanced sweetness and a hint of acidity. The maritozzo, available in plain, strawberry, and tiramisu flavors, features a soft brioche made with 100% butter and a gentle cream filling with a light and fluffy texture. The pistachio mont blanc, made with plenty of pistachios, is a delicious treat for pistachio lovers. Both the cheesecake and maritozzo were delightful, not too heavy, and left a refreshing taste. I look forward to trying their parfait or shaved ice next time. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

Patisserie Torcuchen in Shikino, Joto-ku, Osaka City. A cake specialty shop located about a 5-minute walk from the south ticket gate of JR Kyobashi Station. The shop offers a variety of sweets created by Chef Okamoto, who trained at the long-established patisserie Strohauer's Backstube in Heidelberg, Germany. Their popular signature item is the rich cheesecake "Kase Torte", which took 3 years of trial and error to create. Made with cream cheese from Hokkaido, cane sugar, and free-range eggs, the cake is aged at 5°C or below for 48 hours after baking, resulting in a rich and creamy texture with a smooth chocolate-like melt-in-your-mouth experience. This cheesecake, which ranked 1st in the mail-order ranking in 2016, is available for online purchase and nationwide delivery. I ordered the limited edition strawberry parfait from December to May, opting for the largest "Shortcake Tower Parfait" which comes with a 100 yen discount on drinks. Soon, the extra-large strawberry parfait arrived, featuring strawberries from Kumamoto and Sachinoka from Tokushima! The New Year strawberries were especially delicious, and even the kids enjoyed them! Inside the whole strawberries were layers of whipped cream and fluffy chiffon cake. The strawberries were pierced with toothpicks onto the chiffon cake, making it easy to eat. The top was adorned with a total of 39 strawberries! Once you finish the chiffon cake, underneath awaits ice cream and more strawberries, generously topped with brulee. The parfait used about 3 packs of strawberries, totaling around 50 pieces, making it a luxurious treat! All this for 3980 yen is definitely worth it! The eat-in space inside the shop is casual, with a clear focus on the quality of the ingredients used in their products. After finishing the parfait, the whole family left with smiles of satisfaction. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I had shortcake and pistachio pudding ^ ^ The shortcake had a thick and elastic texture! The whipped cream was not too sweet, so you could eat as much as you want ^ ^ It was delicious! The pistachio pudding had a rich pistachio flavor and was very tasty! It's a must-try for pistachio lovers ♪ Thank you for the meal! w

I had some business in Osaka, Umeda area, so I finally visited the famous Torcugen at Maritozzo that I had been curious about. I made a reservation for Maritozzo over the phone in advance! It seems that reservations are already full online until May 2022... I arrived at the shop after a 10-minute walk from JR Kyobashi Station. It had an atmosphere of a delicious cake shop in a famous local downtown area. There was also an eat-in space inside the shop. Although I didn't take any pictures because there were people eating, there were about 10 seats available. It was a rainy weekday from the morning, but there was a waiting board for eat-in next to the entrance, and it was filled with names! It's really popular! As for the Maritozzo itself, it had a simple brioche dough with a lightly sweet cream filling. It wasn't a fruit-packed or rich cream variation, but rather a simple sweetness and volume that made you feel like "I want to eat more" even after eating. It didn't have the impact of recent fruit sandwiches, but it had a taste that made you want to eat it again.
