A pure-white treat is joining the after-work options in Umeda. Asagiri Gyunyu (“Asagiri Milk”), the milk-sweets shop on the first floor of Hanshin Umeda Main Store, marks its first anniversary on Thursday, November 12, 2026. To celebrate, it will sell a special anniversary item, the “Fluffy White Soufflé Cheesecake,” in limited quantities from Tuesday, November 10, and the shop has been refreshed.
A soufflé cheesecake that keeps the whiteness of milk
The cheesecake combines cream cheese with Asagiri milk, Asagiri butter and whipped meringue, and is steam-baked slowly for 75 minutes. To preserve the gentle milk flavor and its white color, it uses “white yolk,” egg yolk with a paler color. According to the announcement, it has a light, airy texture with the mellow richness of milk and cheese.
The price is 1,601 yen (tax included). Only about 10 are planned per day, so an earlier visit looks wise.
A bigger eat-in space and a refreshed baked-sweets corner
For the anniversary, the shop has also been refreshed. The eat-in space, where you can enjoy milk sweets and drinks on the spot, has been expanded, and the baked-sweets corner has been redone. It is now easier to choose for gifts, souvenirs for family, or a treat for yourself.
A brand that delivers Asagiri Highlands milk as sweets
Asagiri Gyunyu is a brand run by Asagiri Dairy of Fujinomiya, Shizuoka. Besides milk delivered directly from farms in the Asagiri Highlands, it offers rich milk puddings, milk sandwiches and baked sweets such as cookies. The brand says it aims for a sustainable cycle for producers, customers and communities while addressing the decline in milk consumption.
