Canned type cake "Yokohama Haikara"
Matcha is now available in a series of canned cheesecake and gateau chocolate wrapped in a cute package.
Under the supervision of a pastry chef, the only manufacturing technology in the Japan that swells the dough in a can (Patent No. 6338317) allows you to enjoy a plump and smooth texture anytime, anywhere.
No preservatives are used, and it can be stored at room temperature for 2 years from the time of manufacture. It can also be used as a "delicious disaster prevention food".
Based on Belgian white chocolate, it is a luxurious blend of Uji matcha from Kyoto and Nishio matcha from Aichi.
By using two types of matcha, we succeeded in expressing a rich aroma, a well-balanced bittersweetness and sweetness, and a deep shade of green.
The manufacturing process is not completely mechanized, and the process of whipping the meringue is carefully done by hand to create a moist and fine texture like patisserie sweets.
The "Matcha Gateau Chocolat", which is delicious until the aftertaste, is a finish that foreigners visiting Japan should also taste.
Matcha gateau chocolate is drawn with two types of illustrations using the common motif of "cat".
"Nekofune" is designed with flowers and birds from Kanagawa Prefecture in a Japanese atmosphere, and contains the idea that matcha cats in canned goods will reach many people from the sea of Kanagawa.
"Panda Neko" is an image of Yokohama Chinatown, and expresses a panda-patterned cat offering canned sweets, and Chinese animals and flowers celebrating the birth of new sweets.

Growing up surrounded by nature and animals from an early age, he naturally began to draw illustrations with pen drawings and fine touches, focusing on animals and plants. We produce a wide range of expressions from original paintings for exhibitions such as solo exhibitions to deformed works that can be used as packages.
<Artist and Brand Commentary>
It went on sale in the spring of 2018, and the packaging is based on the concept of "wrapping the Western culture of cakes with the traditional origami technique of Japan." Yokohama, the setting for the dawn of the modern era, has two faces: a window into Japan's traditional culture and Western culture. At the time of the opening of the port, "Haikara" was a term used to describe people who preferred to dress and live in the Western style. It is a Yokohama-like confectionery that harmonizes Japanese and Western exquisitely, so we named it "Yokohama Haikara".
