Jiichiro

Jiichiro’s baumkuchen is moist and not overly sweet, according to some customers. Others come for a generously thick slice. The menu lists a cut portion for 1 bags at 360 yen, with a shelf life of around 10 days. It is an easy way to try Jiichiro’s baumkuchen without buying a whole cake, or to add a small treat to a gift.

Pudding is another favourite among reviewers. Some mention the aroma of the caramel, while others find its bitterness noticeable, so the caramel may not suit every palate. The menu lists the pudding at 420 yen; it needs refrigeration and keeps for around 2 days. Pair it with baumkuchen to enjoy the contrast in sweetness and texture.

The fresh cakes include a roll cake about 16 cm long, which has also drawn favourable comments from customers. It needs refrigeration and keeps for around 2 days, making it another option when you want a cake to enjoy soon after taking it home. For treats with a longer shelf life, Biscotte keeps for around 3 weeks. The menu includes a mini assortment and packs of 10 pieces, suitable for a snack at home or a baked-goods gift chosen to suit the recipient. The shop is in the basement of Daimaru Kyoto and offers takeaway. Browse the fresh cakes and longer-lasting treats in store to choose something for today and something to take home.
