Izumiya Shirakumemachi was selling their products near the entrance of the store. The shop itself seems to be located near the Golden Pavilion, so it's not that far from here, but I had no idea it existed. It's important to have a presence nearby, as there are quite a few chiffon cake shops in this area, and I'm not particularly fond of them to go out of my way to buy. I happened to buy one on my way back from the supermarket, and it was flying off the shelves when they were offering samples. I heard that, so I wanted to try it, and I bought the fig one. I was quite drawn to the fact that it's additive-free and made with rice oil extracted from rice bran. It's also nice that they have various flavors like Satsuma mandarin orange and lotus root, which seem interesting and attractive. When I put it in my mouth, it melted like a cloud, with a super fluffy texture! It's nothing like the image of chiffon cake that takes all the moisture in your mouth. It melts smoothly and moistly down your throat, almost like a drink, so it's surprising. It's like a silky texture like the crumb of high-quality bread, but it's so affordable that it might become addictive. It seems like a good idea to bring it to someone. They seem to participate in various events, so if you come across them, try it out.

Kyoto and Higashiyama's Hidamari Workshop. We tried various types of chiffon cakes. The chocolate banana cake has a strong banana flavor. It is incredibly fluffy and disappears as soon as you put it in your mouth. The texture is unlike anything I've tasted before, and the fact that it's not too sweet makes it delicious. The honey pumpkin, strawberry, and mandarin orange chiffon cakes were all excellent as well. They are all made without additives, so you can enjoy these sweets with peace of mind. It's a shame that they only offer reservation sales. Address: 14-19 Aramicho, Kinugasa, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture. Business hours: Currently, reservation sales only.

There were lots of people, all tasting and buying quickly, so I did the same (lol). I avoided the mango flavor due to allergies, but bought everything else. I especially liked the strawberry flavor. The packaging is so cute, with chiffon cakes lined up vertically in a basket. You pay at the register and they put it in a plastic bag for you to carry home. The cakes are moist, fluffy, and delicious. They use rice oil. Very helpful information!

I purchased these chiffon cakes at a handmade market held in Yokohama. The market took place at Pacifico Yokohama for two days. Handmade goods are popular nowadays, and not just accessories, but also food items were in demand. This booth was very popular, with a variety of chiffon cakes available. I bought the plain and chocolate banana flavors. They also had matcha, black soybean kinako, black sugar whole grain, pumpkin, honey carrot, fig, strawberry, and warm mikan flavors. The plain cake is made with organic soy milk, and the chocolate banana flavor contains organic soy milk, banana, and cocoa. They are all additive-free, with no preservatives, coloring, flavoring, baking powder, or dairy products. I regret not buying more because they were so delicious. They were light and fluffy, disappearing in no time when you take a bite. Luckily, I received a paper for mail order, so I can purchase them anytime. The cakes are only sold by reservation at the physical store. I wonder if they participate in events nationwide. If I see them somewhere, I will definitely buy them first thing.

My partner purchased these chiffon cakes at a festival in Hikarigaoka Park because they were delicious during the tasting. The shop is located in front of Kinkaku-ji Temple in Kyoto, so it's quite a distance to have a booth all the way in Tokyo. Upon researching, it's a specialty shop for natural chiffon cakes. This time, we selected Plain 1/4 cut for 580 yen, Mango 1/10 cut for 280 yen, and Chocolate 1/10 cut for 280 yen. - Plain: The use of soy milk in the batter is wonderful. It's lighter and fluffier than any chiffon cake I've ever had before – similar to the silky and gentle texture of Karina's sandwiches. I've never had a chiffon cake like this before. I wonder how they achieve this fluffy texture? It was a revelation for me. I really liked it! Rating: 4.8 stars - Mango, Chocolate: The base is the same batter as the Plain, but with mango and chocolate mixed in. However, the flavors are very subtle, so it may feel a bit lacking in taste. But I think this level of flavoring is the right choice for this fluffy batter. Rating: 4.8 stars After looking it up, I found out they also sell their products online. They have several other flavors available, so I'm curious to try them out.
