April's theme is "Gluttonous Osaka". Known for its colourful dialect and fun-loving people, Osaka is located in the heart of the Kansai region and is the third largest city in Japan. Osaka has an incredibly robust food culture and is widely regarded as the gourmet capital of Japan.

Takoyaki Corn Puffs

Takoyaki, a classic Osaka street food, are pan-fried balls of tako (octopus) topped with sauce and powdered seaweed. These fluffy and light corn puffs perfectly recreate the savory takoyaki flavor and are dangerously addictive!

Osaka Cheese Stick Cake

This fluffy cake stick is layered on top with camembert cheese and baked to sweet and savory deliciousness! We also recommend chilling Osaka Cheese Stick for an hour to enjoy a refreshing difference in texture.

Rich Baked Chocolat

As the name suggests, this rich cake is slowly and carefully baked in the oven to chocolate perfection. Enjoy the melting dark chocolate and subtle hint of rum with each flavorful bite.

Osaka Caramel Cake

This bite-sized sponge cake is known for its deep caramel flavor and rich aftertaste. No wonder it won the prestigious Monde Gold Award in 2014. One bite and you will want to give it an award as well!

Glico Caramel

These heart-shaped caramels were named after gylcogen and were first sold in Osaka! Not only are they deliciously chewy, but they're also filled with Vitamin B2 and Vitamin D. Ezaki Glico claims you can expect to run 300 meters with every piece, hence the marathon runner (Osaka's most iconic landmark) on the box who represents a healthy lifestyle!

Mayo Okaki

Available only in Osaka, Mayo Okaki (rice crackers) is a super popular snack made suing quality rice from Saga Prefecture and tasty Japanese mayo from Osaka. Each bite is enhanced with creamy mayo aromas!

Okonomiyaki Senbei

Okonomiyaki Senbei is about as close as you can get to the real flavor of Osaka! It's a rice cracker topped with freeze-dried ingredients you would normally find on an okonomiyaki (grilled Japanese savory pancake). We've included two flavors for you to enjoy: cabbage and mayo!

Genmaicha Green Tea 

Genmaicha is a tasty blend of roasted brown rice and green tea.
