Rikuro's Cheesecake - Namba Marui at Namba Marui

An Osaka icon's Namba Marui branch, baking jiggly, fluffy cheesecakes fresh throughout the day.

Rikuro's Cheesecake is an Osaka-born institution that has been baking its signature fluffy cheesecake since 1989, and the Namba Marui branch brings that heritage to the first floor of the department store. Each cheesecake is baked fresh in an in-store kitchen throughout the day, using cream cheese imported directly from a long-established Danish factory and finished with a layer of raisins on the base. The result is a famously jiggly, light-textured cake with a subtle, comforting sweetness. The Marui counter focuses on the classic size, an eighteen-centimetre cake priced affordably and designed to be eaten the same day. The aroma of freshly baked cheesecake draws shoppers from the arcade into the store, and the counter operates with the efficiency of a much-loved local brand. The cheesecakes keep for one day at room temperature or three days refrigerated. For anyone visiting Osaka for the first time, a Rikuro's cheesecake is close to essential, and the Namba Marui branch makes it easy to pick one up while shopping. It is a simple, enduring symbol of the city's sweet, generous food culture.
