Step into a world of tradition and tactile elegance with this ox bone Mahjong set (牛骨麻将) — a stunning example of handcrafted artistry that continues to captivate collectors and culture lovers across generations. Carved from genuine ox bone and paired with bamboo or hardwood backing, each tile is meticulously etched and inked by hand — a far cry from the mass-produced plastic versions common today.
For New Zealand audiences, especially those with a love of heritage games, vintage collectibles, or Asian culture, this set speaks volumes. Mahjong is more than just a game — it’s a cultural ritual, often shared between families, friends, and communities. In Aotearoa, where East Asian diasporas (especially Chinese, Taiwanese, and Malaysian) have long enriched the cultural landscape, this ox bone set is a tangible reminder of intergenerational ties, migration stories, and enduring cultural pride.
As interest grows among Kiwi antique enthusiasts, designers, and curators, rare Mahjong sets like this are becoming prized not only for gameplay but for their aesthetic and historical value. Whether you’re in Auckland’s vintage markets, Wellington’s design scene, or Christchurch’s art spaces — this ox bone Mahjong set bridges craftsmanship, identity, and nostalgia.

When people think of Osaka, they think of street food, neon lights, and warm hospitality. But ask any traveler or local foodie what the #1 must-buy souvenir is, and the answer is almost unanimous:
🧀 The legendary fresh-baked Osaka cheesecake — hot, jiggly, and impossible to resist.
🔥 What Makes Osaka’s Cheesecake So Special?
Forget dense New York-style cakes — Osaka’s version is a light, fluffy, soufflé-style cheesecake that’s fresh out of the oven. It's warm, subtly sweet, and melts in your mouth. Made with the perfect balance of cream cheese, eggs, sugar, and milk, it’s a dessert that feels like a warm hug.
And best of all? You get it straight from the oven, often still steaming when handed to you in a charming box — perfect for carrying back as a gift or devouring on the Shinkansen.
🏆 Where to Get It: The Most Famous Shop
The most iconic brand behind this sweet sensation?
Rikuro Ojisan no Cheesecake (Uncle Rikuro's Cheesecake) — with its famous logo of a smiling grandpa chef and a signature stamp pressed on every cake. You’ll often find lines winding out the door at their Namba and Shin-Osaka locations.
Each cake is baked fresh on-site, and you can even watch the mesmerizing process: pouring the batter, baking in rows, and the satisfying "bounce test" when they're pulled from the oven.
🎁 Why It’s the Perfect Souvenir
✅ Easy to carry (comes in a cute box with cooling options)
✅ Loved by all ages — from kids to grandparents
✅ Affordable (under ¥1,000 per whole cake!)
✅ Handmade & local — a true taste of Osaka
Tip: It stays fresh for a few days and can be enjoyed warm or chilled. You can even heat it briefly at home to relive that bakery-fresh experience.
✈️ Pro Travel Tip:
If you’re flying out of Kansai International Airport, pick one up after security at the terminal. No need to carry it around all day — just enjoy it fresh before departure or bring it back to surprise someone special.
