Tamba Chestnut Keiki

Spring limited-edition Lemon no Keiki. Available from 3 1 to 6 30.

Autumn limited-edition Matcha no Keiki. Available from 9 1 to 11 30.

This rich Matcha no Keiki is made with Uji matcha, a Kyoto speciality, in a moist sweet-potato cake. The natural sweetness of the sweet potato softens matcha’s characteristic bitterness while allowing its full flavour to come through. Dainagon azuki beans from Hokkaido, simmered in additive-free organic brown sugar, are scattered through the cake for depth, and chestnuts from Kumamoto with their skins on give it an autumnal character. The shop says it uses neither chlorella as a colouring nor sencha powder to add bitterness; its Matcha no Keiki is made with Uji matcha alone.

Tamba Chestnut Keiki (half size)

Tamba chestnuts are described as particularly rare and among the finest Japanese chestnuts, with a distinctive texture and sweetness as well as notably large kernels. The cake is topped with 4 whole Tamba chestnuts. Along with Japanese chestnuts soaked in maple syrup, it contains 7 chestnuts in all. Fresh blueberries add a bright accent to the sweet-potato cake. The shop presents this luxurious cake as a popular gift and a choice for special occasions. Please note that the half size does not include the gold-leaf service.

Lemon no Keiki (Lemon Cake, half size)

Spring limited-edition Lemon no Keiki. Available from 3 1 to 6 30. Fragrant lemons from Awaji Island are used throughout the cake, with Turkish apricots, made without additives, scattered through it. The shop describes it as its most aromatic keiki. Bright lemon juice, the gentle bitterness of lemon peel and the soft sweetness of apricot complement the sweet-potato cake, giving it a moist, rich texture. The shop’s original Lemon no Keiki is described as both refreshing and warming, and as a taste of spring.

Matcha no Keiki (Matcha Cake, half size)

Available from 9 1 to 11 30. This rich Matcha no Keiki is made with Uji matcha, a Kyoto speciality, in a moist sweet-potato cake. The natural sweetness of the sweet potato softens matcha’s characteristic bitterness while allowing its full flavour to come through. Dainagon azuki beans from Hokkaido, simmered in additive-free organic brown sugar, are scattered through the cake for depth, and chestnuts from Kumamoto with their skins on give it an autumnal character. The shop says it uses neither chlorella as a colouring nor sencha powder to add bitterness; its Matcha no Keiki is made with Uji matcha alone.

01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

At AMATERRACE, pound cakes put sweet potato at their heart, paired with fruit and nuts. A good place to start is the plain Mitsuimo no Keiki, generously made with Anno sweet potato. The shop says the aged potatoes lend the cake their natural sweetness, and that each cake is baked in a wooden box. Half sizes are available for ¥1,500. For a chestnut-focused choice, try the Waguri no Keiki. Its sweet-potato cake combines maple-glazed Japanese chestnuts from Kumamoto with chestnuts in their skins; the shop says each whole cake contains 13 chestnuts. Blueberries add a fruity counterpoint to the rich chestnut flavour. Half sizes are available, too, making it easier to choose a portion for yourself or a whole cake as a gift.

Some customers say the Waguri no Keiki brings together the sweet-potato cake and its two kinds of chestnut particularly well, with blueberries adding a change of pace. Another customer found the Mitsuimo no Keiki easy to enjoy for its moist texture and gently sweet potato flavour, and bought it as a gift. Whether you opt for chestnuts or want to start with the cake itself, these two offer different ways to experience the shop’s signature ingredient. The fruit and nut cakes have their own appeal. Ringo no Keiki combines raisins and cinnamon with apples simmered in brown sugar. Kurumi no Keiki is made with plenty of Californian walnuts in a cake enriched with brown sugar and butter; it has a substantial texture. Both come in half sizes, a useful option if you fancy something other than chestnut.

Seasonal keiki change throughout the year. The menu lists lemon from Awaji Island with Turkish apricot in spring; Japanese orange in summer; Uji matcha with Dainagon azuki beans and chestnuts in their skins in autumn; and, in winter, bittersweet cocoa with raspberry and macadamia nuts. As each seasonal cake is sold for a limited period, check what is available before visiting if you have a particular flavour in mind. Takeaway is available, so you can enjoy a slice with coffee at home or bring a cake along as a gift. Compare the whole cakes and half sizes, then choose between the simple flavour of sweet potato and combinations with chestnuts or seasonal ingredients. The range makes it possible to consider both the recipient and the number of people sharing.
