Kimuraya Sohonten Launches Premium Steamed Cakes
Kimuraya Sohonten, a pioneer in bakery products since 1869, is set to elevate its offerings with a new product line of Premium Steamed Cakes. Starting from September 1, 2026, the company will introduce two delightful flavors—Plain and Chocolate—crafted from carefully selected free-range eggs. This initiative reflects a commitment to animal welfare and quality ingredients.
The Premium Steamed Cake Lineup
Premium Steamed Cake Plain
The Plain variant of the Premium Steamed Cake is a delicious treat made from free-range eggs, offering a rich vanilla aroma. Each bite is designed to provide a comforting and satisfying experience, making it a perfect choice for those who cherish the simple pleasures of life.
Premium Steamed Cake Chocolate
The Chocolate variant boasts a deep, rich cacao flavor, delivering a taste reminiscent of an indulgent gateau au chocolat. The use of free-range eggs in this cake not only enhances its flavor profile but also aligns with modern expectations for ethical food sourcing. Each slice promises an enriching experience that satisfies both the palate and the conscience.
