Souvenir Guide for the Osaka Expo

The 2025 Osaka Expo has officially opened! Looking for a unique souvenir to take home? Check out this guide! Official merchandise featuring the mascot "MYAKU - MYAKU" is worth exploring. For instance, the "Omikuji"-shaped keychain transforms traditional fortune slips into a portable design, allowing you to play fortune-telling games with friends back home. Additionally, the exclusive "Okonomiyaki"-shaped chocolate available at the official store is a must-try, and you can find it at airport duty-free shops. Food souvenirs are also diverse. Glico's "Baton d'Or," hailed as the LV of the Pocky world, uses premium ingredients for a crispy texture and rich buttery flavor, though its shelf life is relatively short. Calbee's "GRAND Calbee" potato chips, made with imported rock salt, Hokkaido potatoes, and butter, are three times thicker than regular chips, offering a rich and satisfying taste. These are sold exclusively at the Hankyu Umeda Department Store in Osaka, with occasional pop-up stores elsewhere. Moreover, Osaka's takoyaki is famous worldwide. "Kobe Romance" has innovatively turned takoyaki into chocolate pies with layered textures and a fun design. Consider picking up some to share the delightful flavors of Osaka with your loved ones!
