Liu Xi Sweet Egg Cake Shop @ Taito Yonchome - Chinese Sweets Specialty Store Explosive Birth! Connecting Showa Street and Kiyosu Hashi Street, the road that leads to "Soba Udon Sanchome" is easy to understand. The next moment, I was drawn in without thinking. The eye-catching thing is the rich variety of egg tarts. Original egg tart, taro egg tart, cheese and ham egg tart, durian egg tart. Taro and durian are understandable, but I was surprised by the ham and cheese. There are also savory egg tarts. Meat soboro cake looks very Taiwanese. Cheese cream cake and taro cheese cream cake. These look like pound cake with cheese cream in between. They seem to have various options daily. I bought the original egg tart and the cheese and ham egg tart. The original one has a mild sweetness and the richness of the egg yolk stands out. The crust has a puff pastry texture with a nice burnt finish, similar to a Portuguese egg tart. The cheese and ham one has a subtle cheese flavor, but plenty of ham. The sweetness of the puff pastry complements it well, making it quite delicious. It went well with the Cava I was drinking. It was delicious! The aluminum foil mold that comes with the egg tart is a very high point as it prevents the tart from breaking. This shop is definitely worth a visit as the prices are reasonable. So, everyone, please give it a try!

I visited the Chinese confectionery shop around 17:50 on a regular day. It's rare to find a shop specializing in Chinese sweets. The staff and customers all speak Chinese, and the product names are also in Chinese, which made me excited. The popular items seem to be the roll cake with meat floss (pork sung) and egg tarts. There were many variations of these two items. I wanted to buy the roll cake with meat floss because of its uniqueness, but they all seemed to be enough for three people, so I gave up (I don't have the confidence to eat it all by myself until the end...). It's common in Taiwan, but rare in Japan. Egg Tart (Coconut) 240 yen Among several egg tarts, this one coconut-flavored tart was the only one left. It had a lot of coconut flavor! I thought it would be a custard mixed with coconut powder, but it was filled with coconut flakes, making it a chewy tart. It was not too sweet, and the coconut flavor stood out, making it delicious. Oreo Snowflake Pastry 700 yen Probably an Oreo snowflake-style cookie with nougat? The packaging with a bear design is cool. There is no ingredient label on the back, only the word "BEAR." Oh, I know, it's a bear. It's a chewy and slightly hard nougat, testing the health of your teeth. The taste was as expected. The red parts are probably dried strawberries. It's Oreo-based, but it has a subtle Chinese flavor. Even if it doesn't contain star anise or other Chinese spices (lol). Eating snacks in Chinese-speaking countries always has a hint of Chinese flavor, even if it's a high-end afternoon tea at a luxury hotel. I rated it highly not for its taste but for its rarity.

First food experience. You never know where the adventure will take you. I was drawn to a shop by the egg tarts, never expecting to encounter something like this. As I was walking from Ueno to Kuramae, I passed by a Chinese pastry shop that caught my eye. I decided to stop by and buy some egg tarts. I ordered the plain egg tart, durian egg tart, and a spicy pork roll cake wrapped in green onion mochi. As I was looking around, I saw something that caught my attention - meat floss! It's a sweet and savory fluffy meat fiber topping, like a "denbu" made of meat. It's popular in some places but not commonly seen in Japan. I decided to try the meat floss cake, a sponge cake topped with sweet and savory meat floss, green onion, sweet mochi, and mayonnaise. Surprisingly, it was delicious! The combination of meat, green onion, and mayonnaise worked well together, creating a unique sweet treat. It reminded me of a sweet egg omelette with various ingredients. Overall, the meat floss cake was a delightful and satisfying first experience!

After lunch, I decided to check out this new shop run by a cute lady. The place looked clean and inviting. Inside, there were various types of egg tarts and plenty of other sweets to choose from. Although I wanted to try everything, I had already bought cakes and bread from another shop, so I settled for two red bean and two plain egg tarts. I was allowed to take photos inside the shop, and the service was friendly, so I would like to try more items next time. The next morning, I had the egg tarts for breakfast. The red bean flavor was unique and not too sweet, and the pastry was crispy and delicious. I look forward to trying other desserts in the future. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal.

I stopped by Fukumanen to buy some items from their Egg Tart series, including Original (240 yen), Chocolate (250 yen), Azuki Bean (250 yen), and Durian (260 yen). The Azuki Bean tart has strained red bean paste, while the Durian tart has a unique aroma different from the fresh fruit. The texture is sticky and lingers in the mouth, which is actually quite good. I also bought the Taro Tiger Skin Egg Cake Roll (Sweet Potato Roll Cake: 900 yen) with a slightly chewy skin and yellow cake filled with taro paste and shredded pork. The Cheese Cream Cranberry Bread (550 yen) was supposed to be a cheese flavor, but turned out to have taro paste and shredded pork when I cut it at home. Lastly, I bought the Black Rice Sweet Potato Shredded Pork Something (950 yen) as a gift.

Next to the ramen shop, there is a shop that sells what seems like Chinese or Taiwanese desserts from a vending machine. I was initially passing by, thinking this was another ramen shop. They had some desserts that I had never seen before, which piqued my interest. Since I like egg tarts, I decided to purchase one. They were out of plain flavor, so I got chocolate and red bean instead. The tarts were crispy and crunchy, well-baked, and delicious. They were a bit oily, but overall, I think they were quite good.

I visited Rokki, a shop that sells delicious egg tarts despite my limited Japanese language skills. I bought one Original egg tart (216 yen) and two Chocolate egg tarts (216 yen each) since there was only one Original left. The Chocolate egg tarts had a nice crispy pastry and were delicious.

I entered Rokkatei because it was open. I bought 3 original egg tarts (200 yen each, excluding tax). There was no longer a sign saying "My Japanese is not good", but I was able to purchase them normally. The original egg tart has a crispy pastry and delicious custard, but I feel like the custard has more of a pudding-like texture.

- Food procurement route, from Takedaya to Sakata Shopping Street through the alley. A Chinese sweets shop has appeared officially named "Lixi Youdiantian Cake Shop". Chinese sweets are not very popular, perhaps because they are not familiar. According to the information on Tabelog, their main item is the "Egg Tart". Our team's small eater who loves sweets is a tart lover. I was thinking of inviting her if there was an opportunity. After procuring fruits at Takedaya, I stopped by. Oh, here it is! That day, the menu seemed to change, giving off a different impression. When I peeked in the other day, there was a menu item that wasn't there before. When I checked back, the menu had increased from 3 to 6. The Egg Tart series (as written in the description): 1. Original 2. Chocolate 3. Taro 4. Cheese and Ham 5. Red Bean 6. Durian. The small eater is cautious and doesn't trust easily upon first meeting. She carefully chose a safe, non-betraying type and a challenging menu, the "Ham and Cheese". I, on the other hand, have not been into sweets lately. I'm in a state where I can't even enjoy a meal, let alone sweets. The small eater's impressions: - Original (Plain) There are several options, making it hard to choose. The staff's recommendation is the plain one. When I got home, the gentle sweetness of the egg was still lingering. It's a different deliciousness from pudding. The take-out packaging is sturdy, almost too much so, making me feel guilty. I think simpler packaging would be fine, but it's probably necessary to protect the important product. - Ham and Cheese It's lighter in flavor than a quiche, with just the right seasoning. Some parts of the ham sticking out from the egg mixture were a bit burnt, which was disappointing. In terms of size, taste, and cost performance, it's passable. My knowledge of Chinese sweets is limited to mooncakes, so I'm not very adventurous when it comes to food, but maybe it's because this one has a modern and Western twist that I had a good impression. Certainly, the combination of "Ham and Cheese" in a sweet treat was a bit unusual for me. Cheese is familiar, but ham? But when you think of sweets as snacks, it makes sense.

The egg tarts at Rokki were delicious, so I have been coming back multiple times, but they were always closed. However, today they were open. The opening hours today were written as 13:30-18:00. I realized that the opening hours change daily, so even though I went during the day before and they were closed, it made sense. Last time, I ordered chocolate but received an original one instead. Today, the original was sold out in front of me, so I bought chocolate egg tarts (200 yen excluding tax) for me and my daughter, and a red bean egg tart (200 yen excluding tax) for my wife. Last time it was 220 yen, but I was informed that the takeout price is with an 8% tax rate (probably in Chinese). The egg tarts here have delicious pastry crust. I think the simple original one I had last time was tastier than the chocolate, but the chocolate egg tart was also very delicious.

A shop near Naka-Okachimachi Station that sells egg tarts. It's not too far from Showa Street, but the store itself is not very noticeable. The showcase has several types of egg tarts, and there are packed baked goods next to the register. The egg tarts, of course, as well as other items, change daily. I went there for the durian tart, but they didn't have it today. So, I got two of the basic egg tarts, the "Original". It has a flaky puff pastry crust and a rich egg filling with a mild sweetness. This is a Portuguese egg tart. When warmed up in a toaster oven, the deliciousness really spreads in your mouth. The egg tarts come in aluminum foil cups, making them easy to carry and warm up in a toaster oven. I will continue to visit and try out different items. Delicious!

Today was a rare visit to a sweets shop. It might be my first time posting about sweets (・∀・) The reason was that I received a message from a friend inviting me to this shop... I happened to be passing by and decided to visit. After trying the sweets, I was so impressed that I called a drinking buddy (・∀・) I didn't know there were different types of egg tarts. They change depending on the day, but on this day, they had the following types: - Original - Chocolate - Red bean - Cheese and ham - Durian My drinking buddy doesn't usually eat sweet things, but he tried the original egg tart. It was really delicious and seemed like it would go well with alcohol (・∀・) Thank you for the meal.

I visited a Chinese sweets shop called Rokuji that had just opened on 2/8. There was a sign saying that they were not very good at Japanese yet. They seemed to specialize in egg tarts. Despite ordering a chocolate egg tart (220 yen), when I tried it at home, it turned out to be a simple egg tart. It was delicious with a mild sweetness and a crispy texture. It seems like they are still a young female working alone, and their menu changes daily.

New store❣️ Delicious chocolate tart❣️ The durian tart is (^◇^;) delicious authentic Seoul food tarts available in the Ueno area. And lucky to have them serve it fresh.
