Jiān Tián Guǒ Zi Diàn - 湯前町

This shop sells a 50cm long roll cake called "Oku Kuma Maki". Its taste is exceptional, with a fluffy texture, just the right amount of sweetness in the cream, and a refreshing aftertaste. Personally, I find it even tastier than the famous Dojima Roll. Not only is the "Oku Kuma Maki" delicious, but the "Mochi Pie" - a pastry made by wrapping mochi in pie crust and baking it - is also outstanding. There are two options, red bean paste and sweet potato paste, but the sweet potato paste is truly amazing. The crispy pie crust, the perfect balance of mochi and paste, and the way everything melts together create an incredible texture and flavor that is not overly sweet, leaving you wanting more. The staff's service was polite and wonderful, creating a delightful experience at this charming shop. I will definitely be returning for more!

The long roll cake is apparently the best gift for my eldest son. The perfect sweetness and affordability are excellent.

In Kumamoto, there are two long roll cakes, one of which is called "Okukuma Maki" or "Kamikuma Roll." It is a famous long roll cake that is highly recommended as a souvenir. You will be very satisfied if you buy one. The taste is delicious with a sweetness that you won't get tired of even after eating a lot.
