    Osaka Sakaishi Sakai-ku Shinzaikechouhigashi 1-2-1
    This long-established Japanese-style confectionary store, located in Sakai, was founded in 1329, in the late Kamakura period. Their specialty walnut mochi's name is derived from green soybean paste wrapped in mochi. The exquisite balance of the product's softness and the bean paste's smoothness is something people never tire of, according to its reputation. Their take-out menu is so popular that there is always a line extending out of the store. Additionally, seated within the eat-in space inside the store, customers can also enjoy shaved-ice walnut mochi, as well as the store's regular walnut mochi.

    The dessert here are ok... not as refined as in Kyoto. Service is lacking. Can skip if you have no time to wait in the queue.

    Osaka Toyonakashi Nakasakuraduka 2-25-10
    This Japanese confectionary shop is a seven-minute walk Okamachi Station on Hankyu Railways Takarazuka line. This small, almost overlooked, shop is well known for the simple charm of their sweets making the most of their ingredients. As the name of the shop suggests they mostly focus on ohagi (mixture of mochi and red bean paste) but from the standard ohagi using Hokkaido dainagon adzuki (large red beans) to their limited seasonal offerings the appearance, ingredients, and individuality of the ohagi run the gamut of options. Some of their most famous treats are the Walnut Black-rice Mochi in which savory roasted walnuts have been kneaded in to the mochi or their soft deep-roasted soy flour Warabimochi (jelly like confection).
