Ever since I got to try the pioneer branch of Osaka Ohsho at SM Megamall Fashion Hall, I've already envisioned it opening another branch. Years gone by and finally, Osaka Ohsho opens its second branch at SM North EdsaThe Block. And opening at the same time also by Relic Group is CafeKumori.

The invite is very simple and it didn't leave any details except for the time and place. So I bet the guests were all pleasantly surprised with theJapanese Picnic Party Theme.

The table setting is lovely!
Shobe got so enthusiastic with their coloring activity. She managed to finish the Osaka Ohsho coloring card using the watercolor pencils and brushing it with water after. While the Kumori Coloring Page was half done until now because she found it too difficult.

The event was graced by the owners Linfred Yap, Weiser Co and celebrities such as Tim Yap who is also Linfred's cousin.

The interior is a bit different from the pioneer branch. I think this one maximized the space better.

Osaka Ohsho's menu keeps on expanding. I've featured some of the items I've tried here, here and here.
And, I just found out there are more items to try like their Kimchi Gyoza.
Cafe Kumori

Just like in other countries which have the Cafe Kumogi, we now a Cafe Kumori.

This is Kumori's first stand-alone bakery.

The glass shelves display their wide pastry collection.

Some of them are apparently non-consumable.

I think this is the only section for self-service?

The cakes which are chilled are by the counter.
Because it is a cafe, diners can seat in while enjoying their drink and pastry offerings.

These are most of Kumori's products. Having tried only a few as I've shared here and here, I have to admit I was more excited for this than Osaka Ohsho.

These are the ones we got to try. Among these, the Hanjuku Cheese is still the best for me. The rest had a noticeably sweeter blend.

For drinks, the Matcha Milkshake and Choco Hazelnut Milkshake was served. They were very fab see? The Matcha Milkshake was very light. I can't help but compare it to Osaka Ohsho's Matcha Milk Smoothie which I love. Many had falled in love with the very sweet Choco Hazelnut Milkshake. The guests beside us told us that the Japanese Sweet Corn Milkshake is the best among the three milkshake offerings. They ordered for us but they never came. And, I'll use that as a reason to come back and try more of their products so watch up for more updates! Till next time!
