Sakai, Osaka, Japan｜八角堂

Even a single serving is full of small rice cakes that will leave you feeling satisfied. I also like the nostalgic atmosphere of the building, which seems to be the same as it was in the Showa era.

Kanbukuro is famous for Sakai's walnut mochi, but Hakkakudo's walnut mochi was also very delicious. The mochi is chewy with plenty of bean paste and a gentle sweetness. I thought I would like to come again.

Ice walnut mochi 360 yen When you think of walnut mochi, Kanbukuro is probably the first name that comes to mind, but I think this walnut mochi is also very delicious and can't be beat. There are variations of ice such as milk and kintoki, and walnut mochi is also available to take home. Personally, you have to wait in line for Kanbukuro, so I personally think it's a good option for people who live nearby or who don't like waiting.
