A new sweets brand, New Taiyo no To Parlor (ニュー太陽ノ塔パーラー), will make its nationwide debut on Tuesday, December 1, 2026, on the basement first floor of Daimaru Umeda in Osaka. The brand was born from the Taiyo no To Western-style confectionery shop (太陽ノ塔洋菓子店) in Osaka's Nakazakicho, which has attracted attention for its cute retro world view.
Offered under the concept of bringing retro excitement and new surprises to Osaka souvenirs, the lineup includes "The Purin" (ザ・プリン), a pudding that feels both nostalgic and new, "Shunderu" (シュンデル), a pound cake made with familiar liquor and dried fruit, and carefully made cookie tins. The brand presents them as new Osaka souvenirs that bring timeless excitement and stay in the memory.
Standard Items
The Purin (ザ・プリン): ¥453 (tax included)
This is a firm pudding in the classic style, with a nostalgic, comforting flavor that goes well with its bittersweet caramel. Its retro yet fresh design makes it an appealing choice as a gift to bring along.
Shunderu (シュンデル): ¥380 each / ¥2,280 for 6 pieces (tax included)
Shunderu is a pound cake soaked generously in liquor, with a nostalgic flavor. Its name comes from a Kansai dialect word meaning "well soaked in flavor," and it is recommended as an Osaka souvenir.
Taiyo no Kankan mini Parlor Tin (タイヨウノカンカンmini パーラー缶): ¥1,280 per flavor (10 pieces per tin, tax included)
The tin holds light, crisp, and fragrant baked pie pastries. They come in four flavors, each with its own taste: Sugar, Cheese, Almond, and Kombu (kelp).
