Yakimanju at Chidoriya, a long-established dessert shop in front of Minoo Station

When you arrive at Osaka Minoo Station, you might as well stop and taste the signature grilled manju from the century-old shop "Chidori-ya". This Japanese confectionery shop has become a stomach-warming choice for travelers and locals alike with its heartwarming desserts and attentive service. The characteristic of Shao Mantou is the soft mochi skin wrapped with hot red bean filling. The red bean filling is delicate and sweet with natural bean fragrance, which is sweet but not greasy. The baked steamed buns are made to order and are grilled. The outer skin is slightly crispy, while the filling is moist and hot. It melts in your mouth and brings a unique sense of happiness. Another highlight of the store is the thoughtful tea service. Each customer can pair it with a cup of hot tea. The warm tea aroma neutralizes the sweetness of the burnt buns, making the overall taste more balanced. Sitting at a small table by the window and enjoying the leisurely scenery of Minoo Street through the glass window is a pleasant rest time during the journey. In addition to baked buns, Chidori-ya also sells a variety of classic Japanese sweets, which are a good choice for souvenirs. If you plan to visit Minoo Falls, you might as well replenish your energy here to add sweet memories to your next journey! 📍 **Address**: 1-2-2 Minoh, Minoh City, Osaka Prefecture (2 minutes walk from Minoh Station) 🕒 **Opening hours**: 9:00–18:00 🎯 **Recommended food**: grilled buns, traditional Japanese sweets, hot tea set #Minoh Food #Chidoriya #Yakimantou #Red Bean Mochi #Osaka Dessert #Japanese Wagashi #Old Dessert Shop #Intimate Tea #Minoh Station Check-in #Dessert Tour #JanuaryGoodPlaces2025
