Handmade in a townhouse over 100 years old

Baumkuchen" made with freshly ground rice flour in a townhouse over 100 years old

Special "baumkuchen" made with freshly ground rice flour, milled in the store from rice purchased from farmers, and baked in a renovated over 100-year-old machiya (townhouse). This gluten-free baumkuchen is made with rice. Fresh rice flour has a different moisture content inside, and its moist texture is the most important quality feature. Fluffy and melt-in-your-mouth "fluffy" and "crunchy" with a crispy surface and a firm baked inside are popular products. The "Shiroan Marron" is also a popular Kyoto souvenir, as its combination of Japanese sweets is a more Kyoto-like expression. The white bean paste and chestnuts make it a sweet that goes well not only with coffee and tea, but also with Japanese tea.

Kyoto, once the capital of Japan, was also the "capital of sweets" where rare confections from all over the world gathered. At that time, Japanese confectionaries were at the forefront of the times. They continued to create innovative and creative confections while flexibly incorporating different cultures. Inheriting this spirit, confectioners in Kyoto have taken on the challenge of creating a new type of baumkuchen using rice, the heart of Japan. This creative arrangement is made with homemade rice flour.
