Rikuro’s cheese cake

Rikuro’s cheese cake, famous for its wobble is a must-eat treat when in Osaka!

And yes how could we not love it? Located inside the busy Ebisubashisuji shopping street in the Namba district, it’s central and easy to find. But yes, you will be queuing as it is popular with locals and tourists alike! And to add to the confusion, there are two queues. One for outside where you purchase, freshly out-of-the-oven and still hot cheesecake. The other one for eat-in or cake that is roughly 2h old.

The trick question is what if you want warm cheese cake to eat in?!?

Here is our tip! Queue outside, tell them you want it for here (English is ok) and then find a seat with it. You can get plates and cutlery from the till inside and the great part, you can watch them make the cheese cake as you are eating it!

Rikuro’s cheese cake only do one size, and it’s massive! But perfect to share for 4people, manageable with 2 or 3 and well if you are on your own it will be a real victory! But fret not, because we got another tip for you! If you cannot finish you can ask them for a takeaway box. Great right?

One of these beautiful cakes will set you back around 750¥. Depending on wether you eat it there or take it out it will be 10% extra. So if you are a group and share this is not too expensive. They also have other cakes too, as well as tea and coffee for 200¥ to wash it down.

Did we like it? We loved it! Although the wobble was not as impressive as we thought. We were surprised at how light and fluffy it is. With a pleasant aroma of aerated pancake and literally dissolved on our tongue. The perfect sightseeing treat!
