Baumkuchen baked in Otaru tile kilns
Couldn't load pickup availability
Many of the tiled roofs seen in the city of Otaru are made from Wakasa tiles that were brought over by Kitamae ships. "Otaru Kawarayaki Baumkuchen" is a Baumkuchen that resembles the stacked tiles, with a crispy caramel texture.
Traditional Baumkuchen made by skilled craftsmen is cut, placed in an oven, and slowly baked into a rusk shape. Once golden brown, the surface is generously sprinkled with caramel powder and placed back in the oven. This is our original confectionery, handmade one by one with no effort spared.
Eggs, sugar, butter, wheat... Because it's a Hokkaido confectionery, we've used plenty of local ingredients. It's a rich flavor packed with the bounty of the north.
Traditional Baumkuchen made by skilled craftsmen is cut into pieces and placed in an oven, where it is slowly baked into a rusk shape. 
Once the surface is golden brown, a generous amount of caramel powder is sprinkled on top and the cake is baked again. This "triple baking" is the secret to its deliciousness. Each cake is handmade with great care.
The Kitamae-bune ships played a major role in the development of Otaru. Shipowners set out on their ships in the hope of making large profits, but at the time, sailing the rough waves of the Sea of Japan was a life-risking undertaking. Ship votive plaques, which were dedicated by Kitamae-bune shipowners and boatmen to shrines and temples at ports of call, praying for safe voyages, remain in Otaru.
