At Bonsai cafe GRADO we enjoyed servings of shaved ice desserts with milk Kintoki red beans, amber sweets and strawberry condensed milk!

Imagine, for instance, that you visit the Sumiyoshi Grand Shrine in the Sumiyoshi district of Osaka, and feel a sudden craving for some refreshing shaved ice. If you ever find yourself in this situation, we would like to recommend the Bonsai cafe GRADO.

This establishment is on the east side of the Sumiyoshi Grand Shrine. If you get off the train at ‘Sumiyoshihigashi Station’ on the Nankai Kōya Line and follow the path that leads to the Sumiyoshi Grand Shrine, you will find this establishment by the side of the road.

The storefront has a little row of Bonsai on display.

If you turn right just after entering, you will see a decorative gallery of small teapots and other items.

Inside there are 3 sets of tables with chairs. Some sofas also provide sitting space.

That day we had come with the intention of trying their shaved ice desserts, but upon checking the menu we were rather surprised.
They also serve noodles and other such dishes.

There were 5 types of shaved ice on the menu.

On this occasion we shared portions of tofu Mitarashi dango (200 yen for 2 portions) and shaved ice amongst the four of us.

Strawberry condensed milk (800 yen).

Milk Kintoki red beans (700 yen).

Amber sweets (650 yen).

Tofu Mitarashi dango (200 yen for 2 portions).

Every one of the shaved ice varieties had nice and soft ice which combined very well with the syrup, so we ate them all without ever getting tired of their flavors.

Especially the strawberry condensed milk combination was such a high-quality one that I will definitely want to eat it again this summer.

It was all delicious. What a wonderful meal.

Bonsai cafe GRADO is only open on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.
That day we arrived at 4 PM and some of the shaved ice varieties were already sold out, so we recommend that you come early.
