After spending the majority of our last day in Osaka at Mitsui Shopping Park LaLaport Kadoma, mom and I took off for our early dinner in Kitahama (北濱) leaving the rest of the crew behind. It was my first time setting foot in Kitahama, a district better known for its financial and business activities.
Right before dinner, we got the chance to visit Gokan Kitahama Honkan (五感咖啡北濱本館).
Patisserie Gokan is a French pastry shop with a Japanese twist, which I had previously visited before during my extensive travel in Japan. To be brutally honest, I have always had a mixed bag experience with them but since mom has never tried their cakes before, I told her to go and check it out personally.
This is their flagship store in Kitahama with a tea salon on the second floor.
iShe got herself a chestnut cake for breakfast tomorrow. I was surprised she didn't go for a Mont Blanc.
Reportedly, the chestnut cake was moist, subtly sweet, and had a nice nutty flavor. I didn't try it out myself so I would just take her word for it.
