Chapter 1 covers hidden gems in Osaka, the most popular travel destination for Koreans but one about which little information is available.
From sweet desserts like crepes, cakes, and French toast to handmade sandwiches, dango, curry bread, and cafe drinks, we have a full menu of dishes you can only find in Osaka.

Chapter 2 introduces the restaurants of Kobe, a port city that was the first to adopt Western culture and where European-style bakery culture developed early on.
From the first bakery to receive Kobe Meister certification to the cute Kitsaten, a hot spot for MZ, we will guide you through spaces where you can feel various emotions from history.


Chapter 3 features restaurants in Kyoto, the city with the highest consumption of bread and coffee in Japan, as well as the most developed breakfast culture.
We introduce not only representative Japanese desserts such as Amurikimochi, Taiyaki, and Tamago Sando, but also special restaurants where you can experience a little France and Austria in Kyoto.
Above all, you can experience the unique sensibility of Japan in a space that satisfies all five senses, and enjoy the recommended morning menu that can only be found in Kyoto, making it an unforgettable trip.

In the last four chapters, we recommend representative 'omiyage', souvenirs that you cannot miss when traveling to Osaka.
