3 Best Sweets made with the finest eggs, improved fruits and high-quality vegetables from Chiba Prefecture

Chiba prefecture can be reached in about an hour by train or bus from Tokyo. In spite of being a part of the metropolitan area, it is one of Japan’s leading agricultural prefectures with the 4th largest production of agriculture due to the rich nature including Tokyo Bay and mountains, farmers’ high skills and the support by the local government. In addition, Chiba Prefectural Agriculture and Forestry Research Center and farmers are proactive in breed improvement. Thus, we focused on sweets using plenty of the finest eggs, improved fruits and high-quality vegetables from Chiba. Here is 3 selections popular among not only locals but also people living in other prefectures.

All of these shops are great access to Kisarazu Station, so you can easily stop by them while exploring its surrounding area.

The Baumkuchen specialty shop ‘Sennen no Ki (せんねんの木)’ has been so popular that there are lines every day because TV programs and magazines feature this shop. The most essential ingredient of their Baumkuchen is ‘Princess Egg’ which is said to be the finest egg in Japan. It is a fresh one laid by young chickens from Kitagawa Chicken Farm, located in Sodegaura City, Chiba Prefecture, and makes doughs moist and fluffy. Among flavors such as matcha, tiramisu and mango yogurt that we can hardly find at other shops, “Toronama Chocolate (とろ生チョコ, meaning Melting Chocolate) is the most popular. It features two layers: chocolate mousse with a rich flavor and Baumkuchen baked by patissiers. Gold leaf is sprinkled on the outside coated with chocolate.
