A popular Japanese chick-shaped snack originally invented in Kyushu in 1912. What it is – a thin, soft pastry shell wrapping sweet lima bean paste with a consistency similar to egg yolks. This treat is simple and delicious, perfect with a cup of hot tea!
Unwrapping the packaging reveals the chick-shaped cake. Cute? Cute!

I like so much . Very delicious.
I never noticed there was a face
I love the wrapping though! Almost like an onigiri!
Japan has always excelled themselves with presentation. My Japanese friend returned from his annual trip back home and gave me items from Japan – from the wrapping paper, to how it was wrapped, to what was inside – all were carefully constructed to convey a message. I loved it. The gifts were so thoughtful – I still have them sitting on my bedside table!
Very tweet!

Where can I buy those cake in Tokyo, preferably near Hatsudai station?
Can these be purchased in the United States. My neighbor gave us some. We would like to order some. We went to the site, however the online store was in Japanese.
These are my favourite of all Japanese treats! Is there a mail order option for Canada?
Hello can we buy even if not in Tokyo? I am in PHilippines
