TOP 10 OSAKA Must-Buy Items You Shouldn’t Miss | Shopping Guide in Osaka

Hello, I’m Local Japanese. Today I’ll talk about 
10 must buy items in Osaka that you shouldn’t miss it. From mouthwatering snacks to cute character 
goods and trendy fashion, Osaka is full of amazing things you want to take home. I picked out 
10 items which are easy to carry and full of Ozaka flavor. So, let’s dive in😍
No.1 Takoyaki Flavor Snacks Takoyaki is one of the most well-known Osaka 
cuisine and in Osaka there are so many takoyaki flavor snacks and even deserts here. My 
recommendation is Jagabee takoyaki flavor. Jagabee is a popular Japanese snack made from real 
cut potatoes. Salt and butter soy sauce flavor are standard but in Osaka you can get takoyaki flavor. 
Each stick is packed with a rich umami flavor of takoyaki sauce, a hint of sweet mayonnaise 
and the aroma of bonito flakes. Together they recreates that signature fresh off the grill 
taste that makes takoyaki so irresistible. The cost is ¥500, USD3.3. You can get it only 
in Osaka, so please get it as souvenir. No.2 Okonomiyaki Senbei
Okonomyaki is one of the most well-known Osaka cuisine and in Osaka there are a lot of okonomyaki 
flavor snacks and my recommendation is okonomyaki senbei. Okonomyaki senbei is a savory Japanese 
rice cracker with okonomiyaki flavor. This crunchy snack captures the flavor and spirit of Osaka 
street food in an easy to eat portable form. Each sennei is seasoned with okonomiyaki sauce, 
mayonnaise flavor, seaweed and bonito flakes, giving it that same sweet, smoky and umami rich 
taste as the real dish. When you bite into it, you get a crispy texture followed by the deep 
flavor of the sauce. It’s addictive and full of character. The cost is ¥500, USD3.3. You can enjoy 
authentic Okonomyaki flavor at home or hotel very easily. So, highly recommended!
No.3 Shortcake Can The Shortcake Can is one of Namba’s most 
Instagram famous desserts. A beautiful short cake served inside a can beverage. It’s a 
creative twist on Japan’s love for convenience and aesthetics. Combining cute design, premium 
taste and portability in one perfect package. Short cake in can? Yes, inside the can you’ll find 
layers of fluffy sponge cake, fresh whipped cream, and juicy strawberries. All neatly packed so 
you can enjoy a cafe quality desert anywhere. The clear can lets you see the colorful 
rays. It’s so pretty that many people buy it not only to eat, but also to take photos 
for social media. The cost is ¥1,000 yen, USD6.7. You’ll be surprised at the high quality 
cake and the appearance. So, highly recommended! No.4 USJ Exclusive Items
USJ is one of the most well-known themed park in Osaka and in USJ there are some shops that have 
unique and attractive items. My recommendation is Super Mario goods. These items are not only 
visually appealing but also fun and practical making them must buy for fans and visitors. Many 
items from keychains and charms to apparel and accessories are exclusive to USJ. This exclusivity 
makes them special souvenirs that can’t be found anywhere else. With their bright colors, fun 
designs and limited availability. Mario goods make fantastic gifts and souvenirs that delight 
both children and adults. So, highly recommended! No.5 Iwaokoshi
Iwaokoshi is a traditional Japanese sweet from Osaka. It is a type of crunchy rice 
confection made from glutinous rice and sugar, sometimes with added peanuts or sesame seeds 
for extra flavor. The name Iwaokoshi literally means rock candy, referring to its warm crunchy 
texture that holds together like small stones. Crispy and crunchy texture are a point. Each piece 
has a satisfying crunch, giving a unique eating experience compared to softer Japanese sweets. 
The flavor is gently sweet, letting the natural taste of rice shine through, making it light and 
enjoyable without being overwhelming. The cost is ¥750, USD5. I want you to try unique texture.
No.6 Tsukigesho Tsukigesho Manju is one of Osaka’s most beloved 
traditional sweets. It’s a soft round pastry filled with sweet white bean paste, Shiroan, made 
from high quality white kidney beans wrapped in a moist buttery outer layer similar to a western 
style cake. The name Tsukigesho means moon makeup symbolizing elegance, purity, and a soft glow like 
the moon. A reflection of both its appearance and delicate flavor. What makes so special is its 
perfect harmony between Japanese and western influences. The sweetness of the bean paste is 
gentle and refined, while the outer dough gives it a slightly rich creamy texture. Each bite melts 
softly in your mouth, leaving a mild, comforting sweetness that feels both nostalgic and luxurious. 
The cost is ¥160 yen, USD1.0. It will keep fresh for more than 2 months and no need to keep 
refrigerated. So, good souvenir for you, I think. No.7 Baton D’or Premium Pocky.
Baton D’or is a luxury version of Japan’s famous Pocky sticks produced by Glico. 
Unlike regular Pocky, Baton D’or is made with carefully selected ingredients and features 
a thicker richer coating, giving it a more refined and indulgent flavor. The chocolate 
is richer and smoother, giving a luxurious experience compared to regular Pocky. Each box is 
beautifully designed, making it a perfect gift or souvenir. That’s another point. The cost is ¥700, 
USD4.7. The flavor is sugar, butter, strawberries, matcha, and chocolate. You can get it only 
Osaka area, so please get and try premium pocky No8 551 Horai Pork Bun
The 551 Horai pork Bun is one of Osaka’s most beloved local specialties. 
A true comfort food that captures the heart of the city’s culinary culture. These steamed buns 
are famous for their fluffy, chewy dough, and juicy flavorful pork filling made with a perfect 
balance of minced pork, onions, and seasonings. What makes 551 pork bun so special is the 
freshness. Every bun is handmade daily in their kitchens and sold warm right out of the steamer. 
As soon as you open the box, a rich savory aroma fills the air, tempting you to take a bite. The 
cost is ¥230, USD1.5. Osaka locals have loved it for years, so please try it.
No.9 Okan bread. Okan bread is a beloved Osaka specialty inspired 
by homestyle Japanese comfort food. The name okan comes from the kansai dialect from mother, 
reflecting the warm, nostalgic feeling of homemade bread. The bread’s light, airy texture 
makes it easy to bite into and pairs perfectly with tea or coffee. And one of the most attractive 
point is homemade comfort. Okan bread evokes the feeling of mother’s homemade treats, making it a 
comforting snack that reminds locals and visitors alike of home-cooked goodness. The cost is ¥1,000, 
USD6.7. This item has become well known recently for locals, so please try it.
No.10, Kuidaore Taro items. Kuidaore Taro is one of Osaka’s most iconic 
mascots and a symbol of the city’s vibrant food culture. The name Kuidaore literally means eat 
until you drop, reflecting Osaka’s reputation as a city where people love to enjoy delicious food. 
And there are so many Kuidaore goods here from keychains and magnets to plush toys, stationary, 
snacks and more. What makes these goods so special is their uniquely Osaka character. Colorful, 
whimsical, and full of personality. These goods are also popular gifts, offering a fun and 
memorable way to share Osaka’s culture with friends and family. So, highly recommended!
