There is Matcha Baumkuchen that I would like to recommend to those who like the "bitterness" of Matcha. "CHIYO no Wa " (1,260 yen including tax) sold by "Gashoan", a shop operated by a teahouse in Shizuoka. Even among matcha lovers in the En-eating editorial department, it is a hot topic that "this is delicious".


CHIYO's sum that "the craftsmen baked it even more carefully". It's a Baumkuchen made with the desire to become a shop that is loved by Chiyo (forever). It is said that "Umitate" eggs "Miyo Egg" from Shizuoka Shimizu Chicken Farm and Shizuoka Matcha from long-established tea wholesaler Koyanagi Seiichi Shoten are used. By the way, no coloring or synthetic preservatives are used.


A green "annual ring" that is layered on a meticulous surface and does not disturb one thread. The outside is coated with fondant (sugar). The diameter of one hole is about 13.5 cm.

When you insert the knife, the stone and blade fall to the bottom for a moist feeling. The elegant scent of matcha is already floating from the cross section.


When stretched, it has a soft and fluffy mouthfeel. When you chew the layers that are tightly layered, they unravel and the taste of matcha that has been trapped in one layer is released. The dough melts moistly on the tongue, but it melts in your mouth like a gateau chocolate !

And the rich buttery flavor and the full-bodied taste of matcha and the crisp bitterness that doesn't flirt . The sweetness of fondant further enhances this firm bitterness. The crispy texture is also an accent and is good again.


CHIYO's sum is sold at Masashoan's official online shop and Rakuten Ichiba. Not only those who like matcha, but also those who prefer baked goods to creamy namagashi. It might be an ant to enjoy this Christmas with matcha baum instead of cake!
