What are the Featured Summer Products at Osaka’s Trend Hub, “Hankyu Department Store Umeda Main Store”?
In the heart of Osaka's city center, Umeda, you'll find the impressive Hankyu Department Store Umeda Main Store, one of Japan’s largest department stores. Housing many of the world's finest brands—and everything from sweets and cosmetics to fashion—it serves as an invaluable resource for fashion-conscious women interested in all the latest crazes. This time, we will introduce this season’s goods that you should be sure to check out.
B1F: Sweets
On the 1st and 2nd basement floors have selections of high-quality sweets from across the world.
[Lemon, Muscat, Kyoho Grape, Plum (each box contains 8pcs) / Store: cororo]
Since its opening in April 2017, the incredibly popular shop, cororo has specialized in “new sensation gummis.” Their gummis are surprisingly juicy, and it’s almost like eating a real fruit! They even take measures to reproduce the feeling of each fruit in their gummis; for example, there are small seed-like droplets in the muscat and kyoho grape gummis.

[Shimizu White Peach Jelly / Store: Okashidokoro Seifuan]
Seifuan is a wagashi (Japanese confectionery) shop that uses high-quality ingredients from Okayama Prefecture. Their Shimizu White Peach Jelly is a luxurious treat with an entire half of a Shimizu Hakuto white peach inside. The jelly that surrounds the halved peach is made with pure stream water from the Shimanto River and plenty of pureed Shimizu white peach. As the jelly can be preserved for almost half a year, they are also extremely popular to give as gifts.

[Ice Cream / Store: ECHIRE Marche au Beurre]
ECHIRE Marche au Beurre is a specialty store that focuses on French “Echire” butter. Typical ice cream is usually made with milk or cream, but by replacing it with Echire butter, the ice cream gains a deep, luxurious flavor. As Echire butter makes up about 20% of this treat, the buttery flavor spreads through your mouth, making this the ultimate butter ice cream.

2F: Cosmetics
Next, we will introduce some interesting products from the cosmetics floor, which is the largest scale in the Kansai region.
[Synchro Skin White Cushion Compact / Store: SHISEIDO]
SHISEIDO’s new cushion foundation was launched in June of 2017. It feels light and comfortable on your skin, giving your skin a natural translucent look. Made with blends of natural plant-based ingredients, this product protects your skin from drying and from ultraviolet rays.

[Cleansing Milk 190ml / Store: HACCI]
This cleansing milk contains over 85% beauty essence ingredients like honey, royal jelly extract, silk, and olive oil. It gently removes dirt and impurities, leading to well-moisturized skin. The sweet scent of honey milk is another pleasant bonus.

[Cheek Color / Store: Les Merveilleuses Ladurée]
Les Merveilleuses Ladurée’s cosmetic products are popular with women thanks to their cute appearance, which can make you happy just carrying them around. This time, we will introduce 2 of the brand’s cheek color products.
Cheek-color powders can be easily applied by just dabbing the included round puff against your cheeks. These soft powders can lightly up your glamour!

The product Pressed Cheek Color N comes in a wide variety of colors: a shocking 20 different shades! You’ll be sure to find a color that is perfect for you.

11F:Kimono
[Yukata]
When it comes to summer kimonos, it has to be yukatas! There are plenty of varieties available, from unique styles that catch your eye with their beauty, to stylish men’s’ yukatas. Additionally, there are also accessories like bags and geta sandals made to match the yukatas, so you can be sure to complete your favorite look!



[Children Jinbei / Store: NIJIYURA]
NIJIYURA’s children jinbei are hand-dyed by craftsmen using a traditional technique called “chusen.” They are carefully crafted in Japan, from the fabrics to the stitching, and the waist is made with soft elastic, so you can tell that care was taken for your child’s body in every detail. These jinbei will surely be a huge hit at summer festivals and fireworks displays!
