Nostalgic ice popsicle shop that deserves more visitors. Pops are priced only 190 yen -220 yen per stick with over ten flavours, cheaper than a “gatchan” capsule toy these days. Instagramable item and shop, staff are friendly and suggests you take the best angle ~

I had soda ice cream, which is nothing to write home about but still very good. Unexpectedly, they're having a jjk collab, which breaks my heart even more when my ice cream snapped in half

This small shop offers popsicles and ice cream. The popsicles are particularly good, and are a great way to cool down while walking in downtown Osaka.

This was a famous ice cream shop in Osaka. A lady staff was very kind. The Price of soft cream was 500 ¥. I ordered mixed matcha and milk. I like milk flavor more It’s not too sweet.
