Hello! I’m Tokyo Mate, sharing delicious travel information about Tokyo. 🍰

Before leaving Tokyo, have you ever wondered what to buy as a Tokyo Station souvenir?

For those looking for a thoughtful gift that’s unique yet not too expensive, I’ve prepared this guide.

1. Artisan’s Pride: Jiichiro Baumkuchen

What makes this baumkuchen special is the sponge cake method (別立て法). By separately whisking egg yolks and whites before combining them, it creates a fluffy, fine texture similar to castella cake.

Taste Review: The 24 layers literally melt on your tongue. You can eat it without coffee and it won't dry your throat! 😲
Price: 1,480 yen for 4cm height size (approx. $10 USD)
