At Cafe Renka. A Japanese-style sweets set called the “Renka Set”. In the front left, four skewers of Kushi Dango (soft rice dumplings on sticks) are neatly arranged, each with three dumplings. In the front right, Monaka shells (crisp wafers made from steamed and baked glutinous rice flour and water) are placed alongside Dorayaki pancakes (two round, sponge-like cake discs). Behind the dango, small dishes contain matcha powder and kinako (roasted soybean flour), allowing for different flavour combinations. Further back, there is Warabi Mochi (a soft, jelly-like sweet made from bracken starch) served with fresh cream. Next to the warabi mochi is Azuki (sweetened red beans), and behind it sits a Daifuku (a soft rice cake filled with red bean paste).

At the event space on the 8th floor of the Hanshin Umeda Main Store. A photo spot featuring a vivid red wall and floor, with three giant strawberries installed—two on the floor and one on the wall. Heart-shaped mirrors are also attached to the wall. This display is part of the annual Valentine’s event held every year since 2019, running this year from 14 January to 14 February. In recent years, photo spots decorated with giant strawberries have become especially popular. In addition to the 8th floor, the 1st floor and the basement level 1 also offer a wide variety of strawberry sweets during this period.

At Nishijin Toriiwarō. A close-up of Oyakodon, topped with tender chicken and soft, runny eggs. 'Oyakodon' has been enjoyed in Japan since at least before 1884. It is a Japanese rice bowl dish made by simmering chicken and eggs in a sweet and savoury dashi sauce, then serving the mixture over warm rice. Its hallmark is the combination of tender chicken and a rich, velvety egg topping.

In front of the boar statue at Zenkyoan. The temple was founded in 1333 and is also known as the “Inoshishi Dera (Boar Temple)” and “Marishiten-san.” A stone statue boar stands here, and at its feet sits an omikuji holder shaped like a little boar piglet. The temple is dedicated to the sacred hidden statue of Marici, the Buddhist deity of light and mirage. Within the temple grounds, there are many statues and carvings of wild boars, originating from the fact that the statue of Marici is depicted riding a boar.
