After a walk through the very vast Osaka Castle grounds, we went to Acidracines, a French patisserie located in Temmabashi, Osaka, founded by Futoshi Hashimoto. The chef has been internationally profiled. The shop is in a residential neighborhood, and offer exceptional quality patisserie and sweets.
A large collection awaited inside. The quality was on par with the best back home. I am also quite picky about pate de fruit, and I will put theirs at the top. All fruity gelatin goodness.
Their prices were definitely on the high side for Japan, but their goods were worth every yen.
