If you go to Kamakura / Shonan, here are 3 excellent souvenirs you should definitely buy! In addition to being able to buy all of them quickly at Ofuna Station, we have carefully selected products that do not have the "feeling of buying in a hurry" and that can guarantee the taste.

1. Shonan cheese pie

"Shonan Cheese Pie" by Ashi, a famous confection that everyone in the know knows. This dish is made by sandwiching pie dough and sable dough alternately and adding Edam cheese. The price is 750 yen per box (tax included, same below).



This is an unusual taste . It may not look gorgeous, but the taste is superb, so you shouldn't be disappointed with it as a souvenir!



The moment you open the bag, the cheese smells fluffy, but when you eat it, you don't have that much cheese. The soft texture of the powdered sugar on the surface, the texture of the crispy pie, the umami and richness of the cheese that exudes as you chew, the aroma and sweet and sour taste that spreads throughout your mouth ... Be careful!

2. Hayama Chocolat Caro

A souvenir from Hayama, a nice area with an imperial villa. It is "Hayama Chocolat Caro" sold by Hayama Hikage Chaya.


"Caro" is a French word for board tile. A cute square gateau chocolate reminiscent of the planks of a European city. Orange liqueur is added to the accent and it is baked slowly. The price is 270 yen per piece.


It has a thick and sticky texture, and the rich bitter taste of chocolate spreads while slowly melting in your mouth. The fluffy orange flavor is not cheap, and it has a fresh scent like eating chocolate with orange peel. It is a very elegant chocolate.



In addition, "Cafe Chocolat" is also on sale for a limited time. Fragrant coffee beans coated with chocolate. The price is 378 yen.



When chewed crispy, the bitterness of coffee beans spreads, and it melts with the sweetness of chocolate to make it delicious! It won't stop like a snack.

This is a seasonal product, so it will end as soon as it runs out.

3. Madeleine of roses

Speaking of Kamakura souvenirs! Kamakura New German's "Kamakura Custer" (141 yen). It's a famous confectionery wrapped in custard cream that melts in a fluffy and moist dough.



However, this is not the only store. "Madeleine of roses" is very cute and recommended as a souvenir!



A pretty Madeleine with the image of a "rose flower" raised in Shonan, Kamakura. Marzipan with almond scent is wrapped in the dough that uses plenty of fermented butter.


In addition to plain flavors, there are three flavors: Earl Gray and chocolate. I personally recommend Earl Gray. The fragrant black tea creates an elegant mouthfeel.


The price is 346 yen per piece, and 1,145 yen for a set of 3 pieces of each type.
