I visited Taiwan Ten Cafe (台湾甜商店) that was open in Hankyu Umeda Sanbangai bldg in September, 2017. They are Taiwanese sweets shop. They are managed by the boba drink shop named “101”.

They are located on the B2F of Hankyu Umeda Sanbangai bldg connected with Umeda station (JR, Hanshin, Hankyu and Osaka metro). Underground of Umeda is vast and it’s impossible for strangers to get to the destination smoothly. There’s information counters here and there, so when you get lost, go to there. And they kindly teach you how to get to your destination.
There’s a order counter. At first, I kept my seat. And then I went to the order counter and order my food. And paid. They they called my number (shown on the receipt) as soon as they prepare my food. There’s sample of tea at “Return tray”. There’re many guidebooks of Taiwan, and we can read freely.

They cook all Taiwanese sweets in the kitchen. Doufua (tofu pudding), taro balls, grass jelly, shaved ice, parfait, boba drinks and so on. Everything looks yummy. Everything contains boba in it. Boba is their specialty. So, they don’t remove boba. Some foods can be taken away.
There’re cute wooden tables having two seats or four seats. There’s counter seats along the aisle. Also there’s round table at the center of the shop, but those wooden tall chairs seems to be hard to be seated.

Taro balls, boba, sweet potato, taro and so forth in it. The taro balls are springy. It’s the same tastes that I ate at Taiwan and no wonder. Their taro balls are directly from Taiwan ! It’s large for my dessert. It’s light meal.

It have shaved ice, too. Brown syrup is rather sweet and the texture is thick.
