[What is Giraffe Crepe?]
Under the philosophy of 'Pursuing taste that needs no explanation, and spreading a circle of excitement and smiles around the world through food', we have pursued a product experience that cannot be contained within the boundaries of a crepe.
What we are aiming for is not a product that requires a long explanation to be understood.
We want people to feel 'It's delicious' the moment they take a bite.
To make them want to tell someone else about it.
To make them naturally want to eat it again.
We believe that such experiential value, conveyed beyond logic, is the core of our brand.
The symbol of this is the new 'crispy and chewy' texture, which is Giraffe Crepe's greatest feature.
A light aroma and a chewiness you feel the more you bite.
In order to balance these contradictory charms, we have continued to refine every detail, from material selection, blending, and baking conditions to product design and operations.
[Not an ordinary crepe shop, but a brand that provides a 'moving experience']
Giraffe Crepe is not a brand that simply sells sweets.
What we want to provide is surprise, satisfaction, and memorable experiences through our products.
It doesn't end with just how it looks. It's not chosen just for the price. It doesn't rely solely on trends.
We aim for products that make people naturally think, 'I want to eat this again' and 'I want to recommend this to someone', rather than just temporary buzz.
At the Eki Marche Osaka store opening this time, in addition to menus where you can feel the appeal of the dough itself, we will develop a wide lineup ranging from sweets to meals.

At Giraffe Crepe, we have introduced an original automatic crepe baking machine (robot) developed in-house.
While valuing human sensibility and experience, we have also worked on fusion with the latest technology to enhance the reproducibility and stability of quality and maintain the value we provide.
We believe that products and services require 'excitement' and 'gratitude'.
On the other hand, a scientific perspective is also essential to face the realities of changes in the external environment, labor shortages, and quality homogenization.
Facing both of these without running away is the foundation of product development at Giraffe Crepe.
[Why JR Osaka Station now?]
JR Osaka Station is one of the leading terminal stations in Western Japan, a hub where many people from home and abroad gather, serving not only for commuting to work and school but also as an access base to commercial facilities and tourist areas.
We position this store opening not just as a new opening, but as an important challenge to more widely convey the brand value of Giraffe Crepe.
Eki Marche Osaka, the location for this opening, is a commercial facility inside the station right by the Sakurabashi Exit of JR Osaka Station. It is a location that responds to a wide range of needs, from daily use to drop-in demand, for the many customers who use JR Osaka Station, one of Western Japan's leading terminals. It is a place of great significance for increasing brand recognition.
Osaka is a city where people gather not only for local use but from home and abroad.
We believe that opening a store in a facility directly connected to JR Osaka Station, one of its gateways, will be an opportunity for more people to experience the 'taste that needs no explanation' of Giraffe Crepe.
