The character "Rin" from "Kemono Friends" is described as a cool and collected individual who is cautious due to past experiences of losing family members. She initially sees the mysterious entity, Wakaba, as a threat but softens her attitude towards him over time. The review then shifts to discussing "Nenrinya Otemachi Tokyo Store," a Baumkuchen specialty shop in Daimaru Tokyo. The shop is known for its soft and moist Baumkuchen, offering a variety of flavors. The reviewer tries the "Moist Sprout" and a 5-piece set with different flavors, noting the unique textures and flavors of each. Overall, the reviewer enjoyed the experience at the shop.

I also bought these as souvenirs. Since there was a seasonal Mont Blanc menu, I bought two regular items and two seasonal items. This is also a safe choice. I really wanted to try the huge one in the showcase, but I already had my hands full with other purchases, so I settled for the smaller one.

When I went to Daimaru, I was planning to buy the Baumkuchen. It seems to be even moister than the "Moist Sprout". The price for "Moist Sprout" is 1296 yen. When I was paying, the lady told me to carry the box horizontally when taking it with me. When I opened it, I could see that it was indeed very soft. It feels moist and fluffy at the same time. The thin layer of sugar coating around it is well balanced with the dough. The expiration date is 10 days, and it seems like a good souvenir with the added value of being exclusive to Daimaru Tokyo. I think I would be happy to receive it as a gift. It was busy on the weekend after 3 pm on the 1st floor of Daimaru, but Nenrinka was not that crowded. The crowded place was Baker's Gonna Bake at the Gift Palette, with more than 10 groups waiting in line! Maybe it was crowded because of the collaboration with Funawa's scones. When I peeked at the almond, there were still Napoleon pies available! September 2023, 3.53 stars.

Met relatives at Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station. Finally met my 86-year-old mother's older sister after a long time. Bought Tokyo Daimaru limited edition "More Moist" as souvenirs for my daughters. I hope Nenrinya, located in the basement of Hankyu Department Store in Osaka, will also sell this product.

Seasonal limited edition one-bite balm assortment, 4 types, 5 pieces for ¥1,380. Firm sprout x2, soft sprout, matcha, lemon. I love Nenrin-ya. The lemon is refreshing and lovely. I still prefer the firm sprout, but the simple soft sprout is also delicious. I will definitely buy again! Thank you for the meal.

According to the website, Baumkuchen, a delicacy that is layered and baked one layer at a time until it resembles tree rings, is a basic and simple tasting baked treat. The goal of Nenrinya was to create a Baumkuchen that resonates with the delicate, rich, fragrant, and flavorful essence that touches the soul of the Japanese people. In order to achieve the desired Baumkuchen, a kiln that can simultaneously carry out the contradictory processes of drying and steaming baking was built from scratch. The result is Nenrinya's Baumkuchen. Nenrinya offers a variety of flavors and textures in their Baumkuchen, ranging from soft to firm. This variety, along with the opportunity to taste and compare different types, adds to the charm of Nenrinya's Baumkuchen. This time, I purchased the soft sprout and caramel flavors, both of which are my favorites.

The "Motto Shittori Me Tokyo Daimaru Store Limited Baumkuchen" is a moist and unique treat. The texture is different from other baumkuchen when you first insert your fork. The chewiness and moistness when you bite into it are on a whole other level. However, the next day, the texture becomes more like a regular delicious baumkuchen. It is best to consume it all on the day you open it. That's the kind of baumkuchen it is.

This time, I received a Baumkuchen from "Nenrin-ya" from a friend in Tokyo. There are several varieties, but this time I tried the "Motto Shittori Me" one! When I tried it, I was amazed by how moist it was. It was so moist that when I pressed it with a fork, it was soft and squishy! Personally, I love Baumkuchen, so I would like to try it again next time. Thank you for the meal.

〜◉About the Store◉〜 A highly popular Baumkuchen specialty store originally from Japan with its main store in Ginza. Awarded as the "No.1 Baumkuchen Specialty Store" in a survey conducted by the Japan Marketing Research Organization in February 2021. 〜◉About the Purchase◉〜 I went to the store on December 26th at 4:40 PM and was able to buy the product by 4:45 PM. 〜◉About the Ordered Item◉〜 ◆Mount Baum "Firm Sprout" 1 piece for ¥1728 - Butter flavor - Baumkuchen in the style of French bread - Crispy sugar coating on the outside, moist and mature inside - Baked slowly in a unique kiln 〜◉Review◉〜 As soon as I opened it, a lovely buttery aroma filled the air (*ﾟ▽ﾟ*). The crispy sugar coating on the outside had a fantastic crunchy texture and was very sweet! As a sweet tooth, I was delighted as it was my preferred taste (≧∀≦). The texture of the dough was moist and substantial, and the rich flavor of the fragrant butter was irresistibly delicious (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵). It may be different from the typical Baumkuchen, but I think those who like it will absolutely love it! 〜◉Final Thoughts◉〜 My favorite Baumkuchen! I'm curious about other products too (*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)

I received a souvenir from Tokyo, "Nenrin-ya" Mount Baum Firm Sprout. "Nenrin-ya" is a specialty store for Baumkuchen located in Ginza, Tokyo. The Mount Baum Firm Sprout and the Straight Baum Soft Sprout are their main products. The Firm Sprout is packed tightly and has a chewy texture. It is the first time I have experienced Baumkuchen with such a satisfying chewiness. The sweetness is just right, and the aroma of butter tickles the nostrils. It can be said that this Baumkuchen is quite delicious. If I have the chance next time, I would like to try the Soft Sprout as well. Thank you for the meal.

Visited "Nenrinka Daimaru Tokyo Store", a popular Baumkuchen shop connected to Tokyo Station Yaesu Exit. Arrived around 11:50 am on Saturday and was 8th in line. It took about 10 minutes to place an order. Bought a Soft Sprout Straight Baum (216 yen) and a Matcha Mount Baum (280 yen). The Soft Sprout Baum was as the name suggests, soft and not too sweet, very delicious. The Matcha Baum had a firm texture with a strong matcha flavor, slightly sweet and tasty. Enjoyed them both until the last bite.

When you become a regular customer at Nenrin-ya, it's hard to keep your mouth moist. However, these days even convenience stores have moist Baumkuchen available, so you can't help but indulge. The matcha flavor is especially delicious!

I received a souvenir from Tokyo, a Baumkuchen from Nenrin-ya. It has two textures, Mount Baum and Straight Baum, to enjoy. I tried the autumn limited edition Mount Baum Mont Blanc. It was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, very delicious. Thank you for the meal.

In late August, based on information obtained online, I went shopping. Starting from September 1, 2022, a limited to 6 stores, a new product called "Straight Baum in various sizes" will be sold every Thursday. You can purchase it at a slightly discounted price, made from the leftovers of the shop's popular product "Soft Sprout Straight Baum". On a drizzly Thursday around 4:10 PM, I arrived at the entrance closest to Nenrin House and was just in time to receive a numbered ticket. Limit of 2 per person. I got the ticket successfully and bought two bags, each containing 2 pieces for 648 yen. Of course, I bought two. I shared one with my relatives. The bags were heavy, and the weight made me feel happy. The Baumkuchen made with plenty of eggs. The shape may be a bit irregular, but the taste is still excellent. I would love to buy it again if I have the chance.

【Purchased Item】Straight Balm Soft Sprout... 1,080 yen 【Date Visited】Tuesday around 5:00 PM 【Crowdedness】1 group of customers ahead 【Impressions of Item and Shop】It was soft and fluffy, and delicious. It was slightly sweet.

Nenrin-ya is a leading store in the Baumkuchen world where even crying children fall silent. The store used to have long lines that never seemed to end at the Daimaru store, but now with more branches, the rarity factor seems to have disappeared and there is no longer a need to wait. I felt like having it again after a long time, so I bought it! ★ Lemon-scented Mount Baum with a firm texture (810 yen including tax). The biggest feature of this Baumkuchen is its crispy surface. The icing seems to have gathered and all the moisture has completely evaporated, giving it that texture. The inside is more like a firm pound cake rather than a typical soft Baumkuchen. The first time I tried it, I was impressed. Yes! It's delicious! It has a refreshing lemon-like flavor, although it's more of a lemon-scented taste due to the fragrance. By the way, there seems to be a lemon boom going on right now. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

I received this as a Valentine's return gift. I had heard rumors about it, but I never expected it to be this amazing... Straight Balm [Soft Sprout]. It was carefully wrapped in Japanese paper, and when I slowly opened it, a nice fragrance wafted out. The texture was soft, with a rich eggy flavor and a refined sweetness. The outside and inside were both soft, and I finished it in no time. If I have any reason to be nearby (even if I have to make one up), I would definitely stop by to purchase it. I remembered something an acquaintance chef once said, that adding an extra egg to a whole cake recipe results in a fluffy and delicious sponge cake. This brought back memories, and it was a truly delicious dish.

<About the Shop> Baumkuchen specialty store opened by Grapestone Co., Ltd., which also operates Gin no Budouya, Tokyo Banana, and Sugar Butter no Ki, in February 2007. The shop was opened in November 2007 during the renewal of Daimaru Tokyo, featuring a villa-style building with an attached kitchen. <Products> - More Moist Baum: Price: 1188 yen Size: Diameter - approx. 14.4cm, Height - approx. 3cm, Thickness - approx. 4cm, Weight - approx. 224g Layers: 22 Calories: 401kcal/100g Shelf Life: 15 days at room temperature Ingredients: Liquid egg, sugar, processed fats (vegetable fats, butter, refined processed fats, skim milk powder), wheat flour, natural cheese, emulsified fats, glutinous rice flour, sweetened skimmed condensed milk, liquor, salt, reduced malt syrup/stabilizer (processed starch), trehalose, emulsifier (soy-derived), flavoring, leavening agent, carotenoid colorant Manufacturer: Abeya Confectionery Co., Ltd. This Baumkuchen is a limited edition product sold exclusively at Daimaru Tokyo to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the founding of Daimaru. It was first released in April 2017 but was later discontinued. It made a comeback on August 7, 2020, with a moist and tender texture described as a "soufflé." It is similar in size to the main product of Nenrinka, "Straight Baum Soft Bud," but with some differences in ingredients, such as the use of glutinous rice flour and stabilizer instead of sugar-added egg yolk, and a higher amount of natural cheese. It is also lower in calories compared to "Straight Baum Soft Bud." Despite not meeting the official definition of Baumkuchen set by the German National Confectionery Association, this Baumkuchen is delicious with a milky and buttery flavor. It is a great value at 1188 yen and suitable for gifting as a whole cake. The manufacturer, Abeya Confectionery Co., Ltd., located in Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture, holds outlet sales every Saturday morning, where you may find discounted irregular products of Nenrinka Baumkuchen.

I bought a souvenir for my parents who are celebrating their 60th birthday when I went back home. There was a shop right inside Tokyo Station Daimaru, and I quickly decided to buy something because the shop's name seemed auspicious. I purchased "Yawaraka Me" (soft sprouts), which is so soft that it tilts like a cake when held. It is very delicious and highly recommended.

I wanted to buy something sweet on my way back from Tokyo Station, so I chose Baumkuchen. It's been a while, so I went with a simple plain flavor. This Baumkuchen has a crispy sugar coating on the outside, which is just lightly dusted. I'm not a fan of heavily coated ones, so this was just right for me. The coated part is slightly firm, but the Baumkuchen is very delicious.
