551 Horai's "Pork Bun" is one of Osaka's most famous gourmet foods. Made with a slightly sweet and chewy dough, the pork bun is hand-wrapped with just pork and onion fillings and steamed until fluffy, and has many fans all over the country.
The founder, who came to Japan from Taiwan hoping to work in the food industry, opened a restaurant in Namba in 1945 (Showa 20) serving curry rice and other dishes. The following year, the company began selling pork buns that were Taiwanese pork buns adapted to suit the tastes of Osaka customers. Since the company's founding, the company has always prioritized freshness in its products, with the belief that "freshly made buns are the most delicious." The dough and ingredients are mixed in a central kitchen in Osaka and delivered to each store about four times a day. Chilled products are also sold at stores that are frequented by customers from far away, such as those who come by bullet train or airport.

This Western-style pastry shop is also known for starting the roll cake boom. The shop's signature product is the "Dojima Roll," a moist, fluffy baked dough wrapped in plenty of cream. The shop's specialty is its original cream, made with raw milk from Hokkaido. The founder, who doesn't like cream and isn't a pastry chef, came up with a new idea that only he could come up with, creating a rich, yet light aftertaste cream that tastes like raw milk.
This shop was opened with the desire to spread the rich lifestyle of Europe, where sweets are an integral part of daily life, to Japan. In order to maintain quality, they do not mass produce or prepare in advance, and the shop is located close to the kitchen. The cream, which is made with careful attention to temperature, humidity, and air volume, is also prepared diligently in the amount needed by the pastry chef.

[Product name and price] "Dojima Roll" Long 1,782 yen / Half 961 yen / Cut 442 yen

A Japanese confectionery store founded in 1948 (Showa 23). The flagship store is located in the entertainment district of Osaka, Juso, and has 11 stores in Osaka Prefecture.
Their signature product, Mitarashi Dango, is made from a perfect balance of mochi flour and rice flour, steamed, and then grilled over an open flame once an order is placed. The broth is made from high-quality kelp from Kushiro, Hokkaido, and the special sauce is made from tamari soy sauce and white sugar from Kagawa Prefecture. The unusual cylindrical shape of the dango makes it easy to brown when grilled, and is a unique feature of the shop, as it allows the sauce to stick to it better.
The shop name was chosen by the founder with the desire to "make Guest/customer throughout Japan (Yashima) happy through the confectionery business." With the motto of "Using the best ingredients to provide affordable, handmade Japanese sweets to Guest/customer with a sweet tooth," the storefront always has more than 20 types of Japanese sweets carefully made by artisans, with a focus on lightly-pasteurized sweets (products that don't keep well).

They are bite-sized and easy to eat, and they are also easy to cook. They are fresh dumplings, not frozen, so you can enjoy the delicious taste of freshly made dumplings.

Hitokuchi Gyoza was born from the founder's love for gyoza, and his desire to "improve the image of gyoza as a cheap, delicious food for the masses."The main ingredient, Chinese chives, are picked that morning by a contracted farmer in Kochi Prefecture. They are high in moisture and have a thick, crunchy texture. The gyoza skin is thin enough to be seen through, and has a crispy texture. The flavor of sesame oil and a hint of chili pepper add a little spice to the dish, so you won't be able to stop eating once you start.
They also pay special attention to the packaging, and the bent gyoza is wrapped in a deep blue wrapping paper that was unusual for food when the product was first made. The gyoza tastes great and looks great, making them the perfect gift for those who treasure human connections.In addition to pan-fried dumplings, there are many other ways to prepare them, such as fried dumplings, boiled dumplings, and steamed dumplings, so please enjoy them in a variety of ways.
