The lemon financiers with a sugar coating were delicious! I visited a top sweets shop in Osaka's Nishi-Umeda for the first time. I arrived on a weekday at 4 pm and was able to enter without waiting in line. The shop is located in a luxurious Ritz Hotel, giving off a classy vibe. The lemon flavor with the sugar coating was great! I enjoyed it very much.

I visited The Ritz-Carlton Gourmet Shop for the first time. I bought the Ritz-Carlton Cake, which was rich in chocolate and had a hint of orange peel, it was good. The strawberry cake had a light sponge and delicious cream. Thank you for the meal.

I revisited the gourmet shop at The Ritz-Carlton. I chose three types of baked goods - hazelnut financiers, lemon financiers, and canelés - as they took some time to carry around. All of them lived up to the high expectations associated with The Ritz-Carlton name in terms of taste.

I managed to finish changing the battery safely, but something is wrong with the map... It's displaying at a 90-degree angle... It improved as I used it, but don't scare me like that... I thought I might have to go back again. I finally arrived, but... Have I been here before? I remember it was a famous Italian restaurant... It seems different now though... I hope they stop changing things around... I went inside and asked for a recommendation... I ordered a limited edition melon-flavored cream puff (I forgot to take a picture... I can't read the name on the receipt either!) and paid 590 yen with a card. Is this place on the 1st floor of a hotel? There are seats everywhere, so I apologize and... The cream is smooth and delicious... I have a night shift tonight so I should go home early.

Hundred famous stores. I heard that you can eat in the lounge across the street, so I decided to eat in. The seating fee is around +700 yen, which is reasonable. I also thought about having a coffee, but it was 1,500 yen per cup, typical of the Ritz-Carlton. When I added the service charge to the cake, it came to nearly 4,000 yen. The staff's service was excellent. Whenever affluent foodies from outside the prefecture come to Hiroshima (I am a reviewer in Hiroshima), they always say, "There are no hotels where we can stay in Hiroshima," which I didn't quite understand until now. Indeed, the quality of the Ritz-Carlton is unfortunately not found in Hiroshima. The cake I had was a combination of coconut and passion fruit. The crunchy base tightened the overall taste.

【Visit Date】August 27, 2023 【Order】Strawberry Cake, Credenish, Melon Danish After lunch, I wasn't satisfied with the Chinese food, so I headed to Ritz for a little something to refresh my palate. There were many delicious-looking cakes, but I decided to purchase two that caught my eye at first glance. After dinner, I enjoyed them at home while watching a TV show. The shortcake was just okay, but the Danish with melon was really tasty. I made the right choice by picking that one. Thank you for the meal.

The gourmet shop at The Ritz-Carlton. It's hard to get in with shorts, what's up with that... Visited at 4:30 pm on a weekday, and they were already out of cakes, only cream puffs left. Cream Danish Melon ¥590 A very large cream puff. The pastry is firm, maybe it's not a cream puff? It's more like a marron glacé. The cream is melon flavored, with pieces of melon on top. As expected from a luxury hotel, the service is polite.

It's a wonderfully atmospheric restaurant. This time, I got a takeout of the rum raisin stick. The generous amount of rum raisin cream paired with the flavorful bread was really delicious. The service from the staff was also fantastic. Thank you very much. It was a great meal.

I visited the bakery without knowing that bread is limited to certain days, so I came back the next day for a rematch. I bought croissants, cream puffs, and cakes. They were not too sweet, had an elegant taste, and paired well with my coffee at home. I will definitely visit again.

I took out the following menu items: Cannele for 320 yen (tax included), Lemon Financier for 220 yen (tax included), and Kobe Water (KOBE WATE) for 220 yen (tax included). It was around 3:00 pm and it wasn't crowded, so I was able to buy the items quickly. Thank you for the delicious food. Thank you very much, The Ritz-Carlton Gourmet Shop!

A beautiful gourmet shop on the first floor of the hotel, like a jewelry store. They offer a wide variety of cakes, bread, pastries, deli items, wine, and gift items, making it the perfect place to find the best souvenirs. Limited to 5 pieces per day, they are selling a rum-flavored Savarin for 3,800 yen. Created by pastry chef Rina Hashizume, this Savarin is a traditional French dessert made with brioche or sponge cake soaked in liquor syrup. It is decorated with whipped cream, custard cream, and fruits, offering a sophisticated taste with a strong liquor flavor. This Savarin is a special treat that has been popular as a dessert at the main dining restaurant of The Ritz-Carlton Osaka, called La Baie. Pastry chef Rina Hashizume, who won second place in the 16th Ice Cream Dessert Contest, is known for her skills. I didn't know you could take out the taste of a French restaurant's dessert at home! The high-quality whipped cream on top has a rich flavor but a refreshing aftertaste. The sponge part is soaked in syrup, not brioche, which is exactly to my liking. They generously soak it in syrup without holding back! You can enjoy the change in flavor with the sweet confiture. I drizzle rum over it. The rum is a crisp dry type, which suits my taste perfectly. Just a little drizzle adds a significant rum flavor. I poured the whole thing, and it truly became a one-of-a-kind Savarin. Indeed, this is an exceptional item that justifies its price!

The taste and price were excellent. Much better than cakes from department stores. It felt like a cake made by a chef, with all the flavors blending together perfectly. It has a sophisticated taste, not really for kids. Not too sweet... I will continue to buy cakes here!!! The only downside was the staff, they need improvement. Maybe they were new? The ribbon on the cake came off on my way home. Also, it took too long and there was no apology... It's okay if the new staff takes time, but I hope they can at least improve on the wrapping.

I used this service during my stay. The restaurant was crowded during breakfast with many families, so I came here. I bought croissants, mini baguettes, lasagna, salad, cake, etc. and had them prepared for me to eat in my room. The lasagna was heated before being served, which made my family happy. The containers used were environmentally friendly, in line with SDGs, yet still maintained a sense of luxury. However, I noticed that the paper bag material used in the Ritz-Carlton shops in Tokyo and Osaka were different. The one in Tokyo had a more luxurious feel and truly captured the essence of the Ritz-Carlton.

Today, I took a day off for some errands and headed to Umeda in the morning. After finishing my errands, I decided to have a drink and then have lunch. Afterwards, I planned to buy some cake at a place recommended by my partner before heading home. The interior of the shop had a luxurious atmosphere, but the prices were not as high as expected. Plus, if you pay with the Hankyu Hanshin Group's Stasia card, you get a 10% discount! I bought a Mont Blanc for 759 yen and my partner got a Strawberry Cake for 704 yen. When I got home, I enjoyed the Mont Blanc. The sponge had a slightly firm texture, the meringue was crispy and melted in the mouth beautifully. The chestnut cream was rich and sweet, with the chestnuts soaked in liqueur. It truly felt like a Ritz-Carlton experience! My partner's Strawberry Cake also looked delicious! We'll definitely go back for more. It was so delicious! Thank you for the meal.

On February 26, 2023 (Sunday), I tried the following dishes: - Exotic Finger: ¥700 (tax included) Ingredients include milk, wheat, soy, apple, banana, gelatin, and alcohol. - Cream Danish Strawberry: ¥560 (tax included) Ingredients include wheat, milk, egg, and orange.

I purchased chocolate and rum raisin sticks at the hotel. The hotel had a classy atmosphere and the furnishings were lovely, but it didn't feel like the hotel I would stay in. Despite this, I walked down the not-so-wide hallway and arrived at the gourmet shop. In the back of the shop, there was a small room dedicated to chocolates with various products displayed. Despite the relatively high prices, the store was crowded, perhaps due to the Christmas season. The staff were polite, but the service seemed a bit slower compared to the chocolate shops in Marunouchi. Each chocolate cost a little over 400 yen, and I felt it was worth the price. Each piece was delicious, but the taste didn't feel unique to this shop. I also purchased a rum raisin stick, which was a bread sandwich filled with rum raisins and cream. The rum flavor was strong, but it was very delicious. I forgot to take a picture, but I would definitely buy it again.

It is a very elegant shop where you can indulge in a sophisticated atmosphere. You can also buy Splendid's deli on the same first floor. They had lasagna and salad with prosciutto. Today I bought croissants, cream Danish, kiwi yogurt, lasagna, and jam. It is recommended to make your purchases early in the morning. I warmed up the lasagna in the microwave when I got home and it tasted top-notch.

Before checking out of the room, I wandered around the boutique. The baguette I had yesterday at La V was delicious, so I decided to buy one again. I also purchased a Stollen made with wasanbon sugar, a croissant, and caviar from Chocolat Boutique. The baguette gets tastier the more you chew it. I always keep caviar in the fridge, it's delicious. I want to visit again before it runs out. The Stollen has a nice spice flavor, a bit on the sweet side but I like it. I want to take my time and enjoy it.

A shop where you can buy delicious treats from Ritz Carlton. There is live piano music next door in the lounge. It's a lovely hotel. They have tasty cakes and macarons. I bought the Herb Salt Chili for 1140 yen. It's a spicy and delicious salt with yellow garlic, red chili, and green herbs. It's a pleasure to pair it with white rice in a bento box.

I stayed at The Ritz-Carlton Osaka, but it was crowded, probably due to the travel discount. I didn't like the crowds, so I bought breakfast at a gourmet shop. I chose the classic bakery items and a shortcake. I debated getting the chocolate cake, but I heard it was too sweet, so I chose the shortcake without hesitation. The shortcake had a light sponge cake with mildly sweet cream which was a perfect match. The strawberries were quite tart, but they paired well with the cream. The croissant had a good balance of buttery flavor that was not overpowering, making it a crowd-pleaser. It didn't leave my hands greasy after eating. The raisin bread with raisin butter was excellent, but the bread was too soft; it would have been perfect with baguette dough. I personally liked the firmness of the baguette, and it had a nice wheat aroma, making it delicious.
