Osaka Takashimaya will host its Valentine event, "Amour du Chocolat!," starting January 22nd (Thursday). Against the backdrop of rising cocoa prices and increasing demand for "self-reward" treats, the event will strengthen its offering of "fresh-baked, made-to-order chocolate sweets" available exclusively at the venue, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a bustling food fair. In addition to popular soft-serve ice cream, the lineup includes churros, donuts, and trendy croffles—exciting options for solo visitors, families, and domestic and international tourists alike, encouraging repeat visits. Furthermore, the event features a wide range of Osaka Takashimaya-exclusive products, from Kansai-based domestic brands to internationally beloved brands.
Total stores (throughout the period): 126 stores, including 17 making their debut at Osaka Takashimaya and 18 with live demonstrations
