Baumkuchen (KIHACHI)

Japanese notation　"バームクーヘン（キハチ）"

Authentic taste with a touch of individuality.

The confectionary KIHACHI is well known as a sophisticated confectionery brand. Originally, “Restaurant KIHACHI” was opened in Minami-Aoyama, Tokyo in 1987 as a restaurant ownered by Kihachi Kumagai, the chef. Later in 1990, “Patisserie Kihachi” was opened, and it is widely recognized as a high-end confectionery brand.

“Patisserie KIHACHI” simply printed on the package and it looks luxurious feel.

It looks like a standard baumkuchen, but the fine, uniform layers of dough give the impression of being delicately made.

The ingredients of flour and egg give a sense of quality and the texure is crispy. It might sound odd to describe the texture for the baumkuchen though, it seems to be very new.
