What Is Chiikawa Bakery Osaka?

Chiikawa Bakery OSAKA is a character-themed bakery based on Chiikawa, featuring the characters Chiikawa, Hachiware, Usagi and others.

The first permanent Chiikawa Bakery opened in Tokyo in October 2024. Osaka became the second permanent location when Chiikawa Bakery OSAKA opened at KITTE Osaka on June 26, 2026.

The bakery sells specially designed breads inspired by the characters and the world of Chiikawa.

Inside the store, visitors can find familiar characters incorporated into the bakery’s design, making the visit more than simply buying bread.

For Chiikawa fans visiting Japan, it is a combination of:

Character bakery
Limited-edition food
Japanese character merchandise
Osaka-exclusive souvenirs
Photo-worthy displays

Where Is Chiikawa Bakery Osaka?

Chiikawa Bakery OSAKA is located inside KITTE Osaka, on the 3rd floor.

Address:

KITTE Osaka 3F
3-2-2 Umeda, Kita-ku, Osaka, Japan

The biggest advantage for travelers is the location:

It is directly connected to JR Osaka Station.

This makes it particularly convenient if you are visiting Osaka as part of a larger sightseeing itinerary.

You can combine the bakery with other attractions around Osaka Station and Umeda without making a separate trip to a distant neighborhood.

What Can You Buy at Chiikawa Bakery Osaka?

The main attraction is, of course, the bread.

The menu includes character-shaped breads, sweet breads, savory breads, baked goods and drinks.

Character Face Breads

Some of the most recognizable items are the character face breads.

The regular menu includes:

Chiikawa Bread
Hachiware Bread
Usagi Bread
Momonga Bread
Furui Honya Bread

The breads are filled with different creams or fillings.

For example, the regular Chiikawa Bread contains custard cream, while Hachiware Bread contains chocolate cream and Usagi Bread contains caramel cream.

These are probably the easiest products to recognize as Chiikawa Bakery items.

Osaka-Exclusive: Chiikawa Takosen Burger

One of the most interesting things about the Osaka location is that it has an Osaka-exclusive food item.

Chiikawa Takosen Burger

¥670

This burger combines takoyaki and crushed takosen, a Japanese snack made from rice crackers.

It is an Osaka-style twist on the Chiikawa Bakery concept and is only available at Chiikawa Bakery OSAKA.

For international visitors, this is particularly interesting because it combines two things strongly associated with Osaka:

takoyaki + Osaka-style street food culture

with the cute world of Chiikawa.

Other Popular Bakery Items

Depending on the current menu and availability, you can also find items such as:

Shishimata Stick Pie

A sweet stick-shaped pastry inspired by the shishimata from Chiikawa.

Tobatsu-bo Cheese Bread

A savory cheese bread inspired by the series.

Kurimanju Bread

A bread filled with chestnut paste.

Kuma-san Pochette Bread

A melon-pan-style bread with raspberry sauce.

Hou-shu-bukuro Yaki

A baked item filled with an-butter.

Financier Trio

Financiers featuring Chiikawa, Hachiware and Usagi.

Chiikawa Rusks

Rusks are also available in several flavors, including butter sugar and maple cinnamon.

Important: The menu changes seasonally, and popular products may sell out. The official website recommends checking the latest menu information before visiting.

Seasonal Items Are Also Available

Chiikawa Bakery regularly introduces limited-time products.

For example, in autumn 2026, the bakery introduced Halloween-themed black-cat versions of the character breads.

Chiikawa Black Cat Bread — ¥660
Hachiware Black Cat Bread — ¥660
Usagi Black Cat Bread — ¥660
Pumpkin Soup — ¥790

The three character breads have different fillings:

Chiikawa → chestnut paste
Hachiware → roasted green tea cream
Usagi → pumpkin paste

These Halloween products are also being sold at Chiikawa Bakery OSAKA.

Because seasonal products are limited, the menu you see during your trip may be different from the menu shown in older travel articles or social media posts.

Chiikawa Bakery Osaka Also Sells Exclusive Merchandise

The bakery is not only about bread.

You can also purchase original Chiikawa Bakery merchandise, including:

T-shirts
Tote bags
Socks
Keychains and mascots
Stickers
Mugs
Towels
Pouches
Eco bags
Stationery
Jam

There are also products exclusive to the Osaka store.

Osaka-exclusive examples

Chiikawa T-shirt — ¥3,630

Flat Tote Bag — ¥2,420

Mixed Fruit Jam — ¥950

The Osaka-exclusive products make the store particularly interesting if you have already visited the Tokyo Chiikawa Bakery.

Do You Need a Reservation?

Yes — for the bakery itself

This is one of the most important things to know before visiting.

Currently, you cannot simply walk into Chiikawa Bakery OSAKA without an admission ticket.

The official website currently states that admission to Chiikawa Bakery OSAKA is limited to customers with a novelty-included priority admission ticket.

The ticket includes a ¥1,000 shopping voucher, which can be used for purchases during the designated time period.

Official reservation information

Chiikawa Bakery – Official Reservation Information

Because admission rules can change, check the official reservation page before your trip.

What If You Don’t Have a Reservation?

This is where things can be confusing.

There are two different facilities at KITTE Osaka:

1. Chiikawa Bakery OSAKA

Reservation/priority admission ticket required.

This is the actual bakery where you can purchase the bakery’s food menu.

2. Chiikawa Bakery OSAKA POP UP SHOP

Free admission.

You can enter the adjacent POP UP SHOP without the bakery admission ticket, in the order you arrive.

So, if you don’t have a bakery reservation, you can still visit the POP UP SHOP and look for Chiikawa Bakery merchandise.

However, do not assume that visiting the POP UP SHOP allows you to buy the bakery’s bread.

The bakery and POP UP SHOP are separate facilities.

How Much Time Should You Allow?

For most travelers, the bakery itself does not require a huge amount of sightseeing time.

A practical plan would be:

30–60 minutes

for the bakery and merchandise shopping, depending on the crowd and your interest in the products.

If you also visit the adjacent POP UP SHOP, allow additional time.

Because the store can be crowded and merchandise availability changes, it is better not to schedule the bakery between two activities with very tight timing.

Tips for International Visitors

1. Check the reservation before going

This is the most important point.

The admission system is different from a normal bakery or character shop.

Check the official reservation page shortly before your visit because admission rules and available dates can change.

2. Don’t confuse the bakery with the POP UP SHOP

They are next to each other, but they are not the same.

Bakery → priority admission ticket required

POP UP SHOP → free admission

3. Popular products may sell out

The official website states that bakery products and merchandise are available in limited quantities and some items may sell out.

If there is a particular item you really want, check the latest information before visiting.

4. The menu changes

Seasonal and limited-edition products are regularly introduced.

For example, Halloween products are being sold during autumn 2026.

This means that photos from Instagram, TikTok or older travel blogs may show products that are no longer available.

Is Chiikawa Bakery Osaka Worth Visiting?

For travelers who already like Chiikawa, the Osaka bakery offers something that a regular character store cannot: fresh character-themed food combined with an immersive bakery setting.

The Osaka location also has its own exclusive products, including the Chiikawa Takosen Burger, making it different from simply visiting the Tokyo store.

And because it is directly connected to JR Osaka Station, it is relatively easy to include in a sightseeing itinerary around Umeda.

If you are not familiar with Chiikawa, the bakery can still be an interesting introduction to one of Japan’s major contemporary character franchises.
