Located a 10-minute walk from Shijo Station on the Kyoto Municipal Subway, this shop has no parking. It is a shop that uses rice flour from the Ikariya Group to make Baumkuchen. The exterior and interior have a traditional townhouse style. You can see freshly baked Baumkuchen on skewers from both inside and outside the shop. It is a take-out only shop, but you can also eat on the bench outside. I purchased the Rice Flour Baumzakzak for 1188 yen including tax. I quickly went home and tried it. It is recommended to warm it in a toaster oven for about 1 minute, and it's true. The texture is good and crispy. It is lighter and tastier than regular Baumkuchen. It has a taste that sets it apart from regular Baumkuchen. This would be a perfect Kyoto souvenir. I definitely want to visit again and try a different kind of Baumkuchen.

While walking around the Kyoto Cultural Museum, I stumbled upon some Baumkuchen being dried. I felt drawn to the shop and ended up buying some. They had Rice Flour Baum (Crunchy) for 1188 yen and Rice Flour Baum (White Bean Paste and Chestnut) for 1296 yen. They also had Uji Matcha and Chocolate flavors. When I got home and tried them, I found that they were quite delicious and seemed to have a decent shelf life, making them perfect as souvenirs. The White Bean Paste Baum had a light and enjoyable taste, not too rich or heavy, with the sweetness of the white bean paste and chestnut. The Crunchy Baum, as the name suggests, had a nice crunchy texture on the outside. The combination of the two textures, inside and outside, made for a delightful eating experience.

You can easily buy a moist baumkuchen made with rice flour for around 1,000 yen. It comes in a stylish box from a popular restaurant chain, giving it a luxurious feel. It would make a good gift if it suits your taste. There were no customers when I visited on a holiday around 11am. They offer several varieties of baumkuchen, from regular to limited edition, making it fun to choose. I bought the Rice Flour Baum in White Bean and Chestnut flavor for 1,296 yen. It had a unique taste that I had never experienced before, with hints of saltiness. It wasn't to my taste, but it wasn't bad either. It was moist and had its own distinctiveness. I wouldn't recommend buying it as a gift without trying it first. I suggest trying it yourself and if you like it, then consider giving it to others. Thank you for the meal.

"I want to buy a tour in Kyoto where I can walk and eat at Vescon without sightseeing (souvenirs/takeout)" purchased as a souvenir for home during a February trip to Kyoto. I have purchased this before but this is my first review. I don't remember what I bought last time, but I remember it was delicious, so I decided to purchase again. It seems to be related to Ikariya, an Italian restaurant in Kyoto. I bought 'Fluffy' and 'Hojicha'. They are baumkuchen made with rice flour. 'Fluffy' has a soft texture, while 'Hojicha' has a firmer texture. 'Fluffy' has a light sugar coating on the outside and is a baumkuchen with a light, fluffy and gentle sweetness. 'Hojicha' has a distinct hojicha flavor and a chewy texture. It was recommended to heat it in a toaster oven for 1 minute, so I followed the instructions. It didn't become as crispy as described, but there was definitely a 'crispy' texture. I personally prefer 'Hojicha'. There were also seasonal limited items available, so I would definitely consider repurchasing. [Total] Rice Flour Baum Fluffy @1188 Rice Flour Baum Hojicha @1296 Total @2484 (tax included)"

I bought a Baumkuchen made from freshly ground rice flour, said to have originated in Germany. It was a moist and delicious Baumkuchen. It uses custard and almond powder. IKARIYA is a well-known restaurant, with a creative bistro and an Italian restaurant on the first floor of a hotel in Shimogyo Ward.

"Ikariya Shokudo" in Kyoto is a popular creative bistro located in a renovated 100-year-old Kyoto townhouse, where Western interior design harmoniously blends with the traditional Japanese architecture. They also have a branch in Osaka, offering a wide selection of wines from around the world. The sweets they offer are made from rice flour, but not the usual rice crackers or senbei. One of their popular items is the "Rice Flour Baum," made with freshly ground rice flour. The shop and workshop are located in a small Kyoto townhouse that is over 100 years old, resembling a stylish interior shop. The rice flour baum cake oven visible through the shop window catches the eye. Inside the shop, you can find baum cakes made with their own rice flour. The "Crunchy Rice Flour Baum" has a rugged appearance due to being hand-baked, with a moist and chewy texture inside and a crunchy exterior. The ingredients include chicken eggs, sugar, rice flour, fermented butter, vegetable oil, tapioca starch, almond powder, custard powder, rice, oligosaccharide, rice syrup, salt, trehalose, baking powder, and emulsifier (soy-derived). The shop also offers other variations like "Fluffy Rice Flour Baum" and "Rice Flour Baum with Wazuka Tea," reflecting Kyoto's tea culture. Rice flour is gaining attention as a gluten-free ingredient, suitable for those with allergies or health-conscious individuals.

I found a shop in the Karasuma Oike area while walking around the city. Through the glass window at the storefront, you can see many Baumkuchen rolls. IKARIYA BEIKA KYOTO... it seems to be a shop specializing in Baumkuchen created by the famous bistro restaurant, Ikariya Shokudo. The Baumkuchen is made with rice flour, which is quite surprising! Honestly, I didn't have high expectations for the taste at this point and just bought it for the sake of having something to talk about. I chose the default Baumkuchen, and even within that, you could choose between fluffy or crispy. After discussing with my partner, we decided to go with the crispy one. When we tried it at home, it pleasantly surprised us with its delicious taste. The crispy surface was very fragrant, and the inside was so moist that I couldn't believe it was made with rice flour. I had no issues with the taste and enjoyed it thoroughly. When I first tried rice flour bread, I found it surprisingly easy to eat, so I thought this was worth a try! Although I had some prejudice against rice flour Baumkuchen, this experience changed my mind. I haven't tried the fluffy one, but if there's a next time, I will definitely go for the crispy one again. I've always had a weakness for the word "crispy"! Thank you for the meal!

"I stumbled upon a Baumkuchen specialty store called Ikariya in Kyoto, which has a few locations. The atmosphere was inviting, so I decided to go in. I tried their Hojicha Baumkuchen priced at ¥1,188. - They use rice flour, which is a unique point. - The Hojicha used is from Ippodo Tea Co. - The aroma when you open the package is delightful. - The Baumkuchen is crunchy and satisfying to eat. - It's not heavy, so you can easily finish it by yourself. - It has a luxurious feel, making it a perfect gift. - It pairs well with tea and traditional Japanese tableware. The store is located in a charming Kyoto machiya house over 100 years old. It has been selected as a 'Secretary's choice of exquisite items'. The high-quality packaging makes it a great gift that will surely be appreciated."

I discovered a Baumkuchen shop a little outside of Nishiki Market for the first time! I immediately jumped in and was impressed by the stylish interior and cute antique decorations. Among the three different types, I chose the plain one. It was moist and had zero dryness! It was delicious, so I will definitely come back to try the other variations!

Riding my bike, I came across a sign for freshly baked fluffy Baumkuchen. I decided to buy some and got a whole one for 1080 yen, as well as a slice for 200 yen. I sat on a bench outside and enjoyed them right away. The slice was thick and satisfying, with a gentle sweetness. It wasn't moist like Chiro's style, but it was definitely fluffy and delicious. The fact that even people who can't eat wheat flour can enjoy it is a big plus. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal!

On the way back from slurping ramen, I unexpectedly bought something sweet. Today, I got something crispy and fluffy. It seems to be made with rice flour and is popular in Kyoto. They use matcha and hojicha flavors, which would make a great souvenir. It's been a while since I had something sweet, but it wasn't too overwhelming in sweetness. The crispy texture was a bit fancy for my taste. Alright, I'll boast about it to my usual sweets enthusiast friends next time. It was delicious.

I discovered a Baumkuchen specialty store! I decided to enter the store and found flavors like white bean paste with chestnut, plain, hard, matcha, and roasted green tea. I usually prefer the hard type, but I chose the Kyoto-style white bean paste with chestnut this time. I appreciate that they try to use minimal additives in their ingredients. The texture was moist with a strong sweetness and a sticky feeling, which was a bit too heavy for my taste as I prefer something lighter. I plan to try the hard type next time, which I expect to be well-baked and enjoyable.

I got off at Hankyu Karasuma Station and on my way to "Machimachi Wakuden," I passed by this small shop. Many customers were going in one after another, so I was intrigued and decided to enter!! Inside the shop, there were various Baumkuchen lined up. After some consideration, I ended up buying the Rice Flour Baum White Bean Chestnut (half) for 594 yen. I was drawn to the White Bean Chestnut and decided to buy it first. The Baumkuchen had white bean and chestnut sandwiched in it, but the chestnut part seemed a bit lacking in flavor. The ingredients listed on the package were eggs, sugar, butter, edible vegetable oil, rice, rice flour, chestnut, fresh cream, milk, and other ingredients. I also bought the Rice Flour Baum Fluffy (half) for 540 yen, which was a classic Baumkuchen. It was fluffy and light. It might make a nice little gift. Using rice flour made from homemade milling, Kyoto's rice confectionery artisans create fun sweets that are different from anything you've had before, whether it's Western confectionery from around the world or Japanese sweets. Please give them a try. (Translated from Japanese)

When you go up Sanjo Street from the intersection of Rokkaku Street and Takakura Street, you will find a Baumkuchen specialty store on the left side. The Baumkuchen at this shop is made with rice flour, which is its unique feature. On the day of my visit, the shop was selling five types of donuts: crispy, fluffy, matcha, chocolate, and roasted green tea whole Baumkuchen. They all looked delicious. The size is about 15cm in diameter, so they are not too big. After much deliberation, I decided to buy half-cut crispy and fluffy donuts to take home. It's great to be able to choose like this. Once I got home, I brewed some coffee and tried them. First, I tried the crispy one. It had a clear marble pattern and a firm texture. As the name suggests, the outer layer had a tart or cookie-like texture, alternating with the softness of the Baumkuchen inside, making it enjoyable. It had a simple and homely flavor. On the other hand, the fluffy one was very moist and had a completely different texture from the crispy one. Although it was a traditional Baumkuchen, it was of the highest quality. Both the crispy and fluffy donuts were not overly sweet, with an elegant and gentle sweetness. I completely forgot that they were made with rice flour. That's how naturally delicious these Baumkuchen were. The price was around 1,000 to 1,200 yen, and the size was reasonable, making it a great souvenir option. A larger size might be too much for both the giver and the receiver, so this size might be just right for Baumkuchen. They were really delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Before heading to Otaru, I stopped by this Baumkuchen shop. They specialize in Baumkuchen made with rice flour, which is light and fluffy. The shop has a stylish look with a blue color theme. The "Rice Flour Baum Fluffy (Half)" for 540 yen has a light texture that you can easily finish by yourself. The "Rice Flour Baum Crunchy (Half)" for 540 yen can be warmed up in a toaster before eating to bring back its crunchy texture. They offer four types of Baumkuchen, and the half size is perfect for souvenirs. It seems like a shop where you can find gifts that will be appreciated. The staff's service is also good, making shopping a pleasant experience.

Hello♡ This is a Baumkuchen shop that specializes in takeout. It was also featured in LEAF. They sell two types of Baumkuchen: soft and firm. They also offer half sizes for the soft version. However, on the day I visited, they had a special deal on a crunchy Baumkuchen for staying at home, so I bought that. It was delicious when I toasted it before eating, the crunchiness was enhanced. I want to try the soft version next time...

"I see, so there are stores like this as well." I recently visited a confectionery shop that is one of the branches of the bistro restaurant "Ikariya Shokudo" in Kyoto. I have not dined at the restaurant yet, but "Ikariya Shokudo" is a popular bistro restaurant located along the Kamogawa River in Kyoto, known for being difficult to make reservations. Later, I found out that they have several other types of stores, and one of them is the confectionery shop I visited that day. This shop, housed in a Kyoto machiya building over 100 years old, specializes in producing and selling baked goods made with rice, such as Baumkuchen. I tried the hojicha (roasted green tea) flavor and chestnut flavor Baumkuchen this time. The hojicha flavor Baumkuchen, named "ZakuZaku," has a crunchy texture on the outside with fried rice as an accent. The hojicha used in the dough is from the renowned Japanese tea specialty store "Ippodo" in Kyoto, and the crunchy texture, fried rice, and aromatic hojicha flavor complement each other well. On the other hand, the chestnut flavor Baumkuchen, named "FuwaFuwa," is a limited-time product with chestnuts and white bean paste. It has a fluffy texture, a delicate mouthfeel, and an elegant sweetness from the chestnuts and white bean paste. If you are looking for Kyoto-style sweets or unique flavors, I recommend checking this place out.

I heard about a Baumkuchen shop and was surprised that you could even buy half of it. I also got to try a sample before deciding to purchase. Although I didn't plan on buying anything, the strawberry daifuku flavor was so delicious that I ended up adding it to my purchase.

On the way back from "Kikoya" to Karasuma Oike Station, I took a stroll while peeking into the shops along the street. I came across a Western confectionery shop named "IKARIYA BAKA KYOTO," which I had seen somewhere before. I suspected it might be a new store from the Ikariya Group, which has several casual French and Italian restaurants in Kyoto, so I decided to take a look. The colorful Baumkuchen and Japanese sweets lined up in the showcase caught my eye, and a female staff member kindly offered me a sample. We ended up chatting about Ikariya Dining and this shop for a while, and it turns out they specialize in using rice flour for their Western sweets. The sample was delicious, so I decided to purchase the "Rice Flour Baum Crunchy" for a taste test. It is a rice flour Baum with a crispy texture made with homemade rice flour, carefully baked until fragrant by a rice confectioner. When I tried it as a tea snack at home, it had a much richer flavor than regular Baumkuchen. The texture was indeed crispy and unique. It was really delicious. (^_−)−☆ I'm sure they also serve it at Ikariya Dining. I now feel like visiting a restaurant with a riverside terrace along the Kamo River again. Thank you for the wonderful treat.

After a long time, I'm posting again. I have a weakness for Baumkuchen when it comes to sweets. Although I always passed by without buying, I finally had my first experience at IKARIYA BEIKA KYOTO, recommended by a friend. The taste was light, with a subtle sweetness, giving a healthy impression of Baumkuchen. I enjoyed it with green tea rather than black tea.
