CASABLANCA Turkish Ice Cream Dondurma Osaka トルコアイス at Dotonbori, Osaka

A Turkish ice cream counter in Nishishinsaibashi, serving stretchy dondurma with playful showmanship.

CASABLANCA Turkish Ice Cream is a dondurma counter on the ground floor of the S-Front Dotonbori building in Nishishinsaibashi, sharing its space with Casablanca Cafe. Turkish ice cream, or dondurma, is famous for its chewy, stretchy texture, achieved with salep flour and mastic, and for the theatrical way it is served, with vendors teasing customers by flipping and pulling the ice cream before handing it over. The counter offers a range of classic Turkish ice cream flavours, made to order and served in cones or cups. The playful service is part of the experience, and the location near the Dotonbori canal makes it a popular stop for families and tourists looking for a cold, interactive treat. The setting within a cafe also means there is space to sit and enjoy the ice cream rather than eating on the move. For a sweet pause with a touch of performance, CASABLANCA brings a genuine slice of Turkish street-food culture to central Osaka. It is a small, joyful counter that turns a simple ice cream into a moment of theatre.
