Rikuro Shin Ōsaka Station Eki Marché — Restaurant in Osaka

The best souvenir from Osaka, we usually get two and start eating one in the shinkansen on the way back. The store has freshly done cheesecakes unlike the one inside the gates so the line is quite long and the staff would normally tell you there is an hour wait. Usually it won’t take that long and the shortest would be 20-30 minutes to get it. The cheesecake is jiggly and fluffy, doesn’t have much original taste, just simple ingredients but delicious. What amazes me the most, despite a huge raise in egg prices and everything, the cheesecake is almost the same price as it was...

As most have already mentioned, the line is very long and to me not worth the wait. THIS IS NOT CHEESECAKE by any means of the word. It's more like an egg flavored pound cake that needs more sugar. It's definitely a Japanese dessert, not too sweet. We also ordered the apple pie which was better than the "cheesecake" but that's not saying much. We bought 2 cheesecakes because we heard they were so good. We ate a portion of one and gave the other cake to the hotel concierge, who were very grateful so it wasn't a total...

The line here is super long seemingly at all times. Have heard about Rikuro for a while and the hype around but wasn't really sure how good it really was. The taste and texture doesn't really suit me but it is pretty good value at ~¥1000 for a whole cake. Lining up for almost an hour doesn't seem worth at all though.

Raisin cheesecake Flavour: A, 7/10. Liked the raisins but the actual cake is mostly eggy. Texture: B, 6/10. Fluffy and soft but inside is a bit too wet...
