I went to a store in LUCUA called Balcika. I had previously tried the strawberry parfait, so this time I tried the peach parfait which I love. It had a good amount of peaches in it, soft, sweet, and delicious. I guess it's almost the end of peach season, so this might be my last chance to enjoy it.

I ate a peach crepe at a shop in the underground area of Lucua. It was delicious! The crepe was filled with lots of peaches on top and inside. The back of the shop has an eat-in space, but you can also sit anywhere nearby. The parfaits and fruit sandwiches looked delicious too.

I ordered a limited-time peach parfait. It was a bit pricey at around 2000 yen, but it was worth it because it was packed with plenty of peaches! The yogurt cream at the bottom was refreshing and delicious, and there were lots of peaches all the way down to the bottom.

After eating rice, I felt like having something sweet, so I went to this place. I tried the Rum Mont Blanc Parfait: I was surprised by the strong rum scent from the first bite. It had large chestnuts in it, and the combination of rum aroma, chestnut flavor, and smooth whipped cream was quite voluminous, but I finished it in no time. I also tried the Rosé Wine Cocktail Fruit Parfait: I only had a bite, but unlike the Rum Mont Blanc, it was refreshing and fruity, and also delicious. Both parfaits were aimed at adults and had a strong taste of alcohol, which made them quite tasty.

A direct-operated store of a long-established luxury fruit shop in Temma with a history of over 100 years. Located on the 2nd basement floor of LUCUA Osaka, this parfait shop offers various parfaits, drinks, and crepes made with fresh fruits. They are weak to limited-time offers, so check this one out. The main feature is the abundance of sweet strawberries. The parfait includes raspberry and chocolate ice cream, with crunchy chocolate cookies inside. The whipped cream and chocolate sauce are generously served, even more than shown in the menu's sample photos. Overall, it has a good level of sweetness. However, the sourness of the raspberries stands out. Some may enjoy the sweet and sour combination, but personally, I prefer it to be sweeter. As it is located in a food court-like setting, it may not be the best place to leisurely enjoy sweets. It was not crowded when I visited late at night, but it may be difficult to secure a seat on holidays or during the day.

The custard was amazingly sweet and delicious. It was almost like pudding! The strawberries were also sweet, and they paired perfectly with the vanilla ice cream. It was a large portion, but I had no problem finishing it all.

I had a strawberry parfait. The strawberries were very sweet and juicy, all cut into heart shapes, which I thought was very elaborate. As I ate through it, it was packed full of strawberries until the very end. The vanilla ice cream and raspberry ice cream were also included, and both were incredibly rich. While some places use store-bought vanilla ice cream, this shop's ice cream contained a lot of vanilla beans and was clearly homemade. This cost around 1700 yen, and honestly, I thought it was cheap. It was a parfait that I would be willing to pay more for, so I give it 5 stars.

I arrived at a juice bar after drinking and eating a lot during the day, feeling a bit tipsy and tired, with a thirsty body. I wanted to refresh myself with a fresh juice. It was delicious! I had a honey lemon squash. Afterwards, I went shopping.

I visited a well-established fruit shop that was founded in the 45th year of the Meiji era! It's located in the basement of LUCUA, and it's open until late at night, so I went for a closing parfait. They serve a Rosé wine cocktail fruit parfait, which is an adult dessert! It was full of fruits and quite delicious! Thank you for the meal.

Premium Peach Parfait for 1,683 yen Located in the basement of Hankyu Umeda, this shop is operated by the luxury fruit store "Marudome" with over 100 years of history, offering high-quality desserts and drinks featuring premium fruits. I tried their limited-time peach parfait recently, and the peaches were juicy and delicious. I think during this season, I want to try their grapes, like Shine Muscat.

I went to a dreamy parfait cafe, carefully chose a parfait from the glamorous menu, added extra whipped cream, and finally met the parfait! It felt like the magical parfait disappeared in an instant. (Oh, I devoured it in one go) It was quite expensive, but it didn't leave a lasting impression on me. I was a bit disappointed, so I'm giving this rating, even though it's just my personal opinion. Maybe I had too high expectations because it was my first time visiting such a place. If I had approached it with a more neutral mindset, I would have surely enjoyed it more. Please try to enjoy it with your unbiased sensibility!

I moved to Umeda and decided to take a break after shopping around and feeling tired. I'm going to relax in the air-conditioned Lucua. On the 2nd basement floor of Lucua, there is a place called Marutome The Juicery Parfaiteria, which is a shop that specializes in high-quality desserts and drinks featuring premium fruits directly managed by Marudome, a high-end fruit shop with over 100 years of history and winner of the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award. In the past, it was located on the 1st basement floor and only offered takeout. I have had their mixed juice before. At the shop in Lucua Food Hall, you can order at the counter and enjoy your food at the eat-in corner. I saw a fruit sandwich in the refrigerated case next to the counter and it looked delicious, so I ordered the Mixed Fruit Special Sandwich for 825 yen. I received the fruit sandwich on a tray and sat down to eat it. When I unwrapped it, it felt heavy. I took a bite and tasted the sweetness of the fruits directly, which were cut into large pieces. It contained pineapple, strawberry, mango, melon, apple, and banana. The bread was soft with plenty of whipped cream, making it satisfying to eat. It may be a bit pricey, but it offers the most variety of fruits I've ever had, allowing you to enjoy the richness that a specialty store provides.

I went shopping and got thirsty, so I took a break at this place in the Foodhall on the basement 2nd floor of Lucua. There are counter seats surrounding the store, but there aren't many, so it's lucky if you can find a seat (I was lucky enough to find one on that day!). I ordered the following: - Almond Milkshake - Banana Chocolate Cookie Shake The staff brought the drinks to my seat, saying they would deliver them. When they arrived, I thought they looked slimmer and had less volume than I expected... might be a bit unsatisfying for those who are greedy (lol). I had the Almond Milkshake, and it was refreshing and easy to drink, with not much of an almond taste, so even people who don't like almonds might find it easy to drink! It said it had beauty benefits, so I recommend it for girls✨ They also had crepes, parfaits, and fruit sandwiches, so they might be just right for a little snack♪

The mango parfait was delicious. It didn't have any unnecessary ingredients, so I could really enjoy the fruitiness. Mango can be hit or miss, but this one was definitely a hit! The location was just a simple shared rest area with other stores, so I wish I could have enjoyed the delicious parfait in a nicer place.

Underground floor of Lucua. I felt like drinking fruit juice, so I visited. Lucua underground is bustling. And there are many delicious looking izakayas! Perfect for daytime drinking. This time, my purpose was juice so I passed by. I ordered the mixed fruit juice. The mixed juice here has a refreshing taste. Not too sweet and easy to drink. It's different from the rich mixed juices in Osaka maybe. They also sell parfaits and crepes. Recommended for those who want a refreshing juice. It was delicious, thank you!

I'm addicted to fruit sandwiches, and this one was amazing! The fruits were big and incredibly rich. This time, I tried the standard fruit sandwich with mango that was especially delicious and melted in my mouth. The cafe space was crowded this time, so I ate on the rooftop, but next time I want to enjoy a parfait in the cafe space!

There is a parfait and crepe shop in the underground of Lucua. It seems like a chain store. I ordered the seasonal limited peach crepe. I was torn between the parfait, but decided on the crepe because the ice cream in the parfait seemed like yogurt ice cream. I could see the process of making it from the outside, and confirmed that a whole peach was used. It was ready in about 5 minutes. First, I ate the peach on top and it was sweet! Next was the whipped cream. This.. the whipped cream was amazing. It was not overly sweet, refreshing yet had richness. And throughout, the peach was evenly distributed, and the arrangement was also wonderful. Truly, this is the perfect crepe. I was impressed.

Mixed fruit parfait at Maltome Juice Bar (including musk melon, strawberry, mango, pineapple, cranberry ice, rusk, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream) for 1380 yen. It's packed with lots of fruits, has lightly sweetened whipped cream, and deliciously rich vanilla ice cream.

Head to "Marutome The Juicery Parfaiteria" on the B2F of Lucua Osaka. Make sure to secure a seat in advance, either the few seats the shop provides or the free seats shared with other nearby stores, as you may end up without a place to sit while placing your order. I chose the limited-time "Fig Parfait" for 1,518 yen (expensive!). Under a generous topping of whipped cream sprinkled with crushed almonds, there are plenty of figs that look like they might spill out of the cup. Inside, you'll find tangy yogurt ice cream, vanilla ice cream, honey, and rusk. After admiring the beautiful cross-section, enjoy the soft fruit pulp melting in your mouth, offering a natural sweetness. It's so soft and delicious that you don't need to chew much (^_^) The contrast with the crispy rusk is interesting. While it's undeniably tasty, considering it's the price of a decent tonkatsu set meal, it does feel a bit overpriced. Expensive and delicious go hand in hand. Thank you for the meal (^_^)
