Experience the Delights of Hachijo Island's Natural Gifts

Get ready to treat yourself to a unique dessert at the Tokyo Station Ikebukuro Shop, where Yokumoku will unveil its special handmade cookie choux featuring the aromatic Hachijo Citrus Lemon starting on June 12, 2025. This limited-time offering is part of Yokumoku's initiative to connect smiles with the blessings of Tokyo, utilizing the region's local specialties.

The star of the show, Hachijo Citrus Lemon, is unique in its cultivation. Ripe directly on the tree, it's known for its sweet flavor and mild acidity, significantly reducing any bitterness typically associated with lemon peel. Customers will be delighted to know that the cookie choux isn't the only treat on the menu. There will also be a delectable lemon cake and a roll cake available, perfect for a light and refreshing snack, showcasing the iconic flavors Yokumoku is celebrated for.

Whether you're looking for a memorable souvenir from Tokyo or a special treat for yourself, these locally-inspired sweets represent a perfect choice.

The Story Behind the Creation

The development team at Yokumoku was highly inspired during a visit to the lemon farms. Their excitement about the extraordinary size and flavor of Hachijo Citrus Lemons was evident in their sincere words: _“Experiencing the less bitter peel and the nuanced acidic juice revealed the potential to create something extraordinary.”_

The Choux promises an unparalleled taste, blending smooth lemon custard made with the zesty juice and peel of Hachijo Citrus. Baked with a signature Langue de Chat-like wafer that incorporates Yokumoku's original vanilla essence, this delightful treat perfectly balances sweetness and a slight bitterness with each bite. For an even fresher experience, pairing it with a tea that has a light astringency, like green tea, is highly recommended.

As they proudly state, these treats represent the mastery of local farmers who nurture these unique Hachijo Citrus Lemons. Don’t miss out on savoring the deliciousness born from their hard work!
