Tsuriganeya

One pleasure of stopping by the Kintetsu Abeno Harukas branch is being able to buy just the amount of bite-size castella you want. Visitors report buying it in portions of 100 grams and say it kept for around 3 days. It’s a handy option when you’d rather choose an amount to suit the recipient or group than buy a large box. One visitor also brought the sweets to friends as an Osaka souvenir, making them an easy gift to pick up while shopping or on a trip home.

If you’re here for the signature Tsuriganeya manju, consider adding Bashō (banana) to your selection. One visitor who liked the manju also enjoyed Bashō, so you can pair the classic sweet with a banana-flavoured one. The shop is also described as carrying other gift sweets, giving you more to browse as you decide what to take away.

The shop is on the basement level of the Tower Building at Abeno Harukas Kintetsu Main Store, making it easy to drop in while shopping. Alongside the Japanese sweets, one visitor praised an ice cream for its crisp wafer. If you spot it in store, it offers a different way to enjoy a treat than the sweets you take home.
