Savor Fresh-Baked Sweets at the Flagship Store of 'Egg Found on the Moon'
About this spot
The flagship store of Asahi Confectionery, maker of the Yamaguchi specialty 'Egg Found on the Moon' (月でひろった卵). This fluffy steamed cake wrapped around silky cream is the signature product, and the spacious shop showcases a wide array of Yamaguchi confections—from traditional Japanese sweets to Western-style pastries and freshly made baumkuchen. The factory-adjacent shop offers the advantage of freshly made items and limited-edition products you won't find elsewhere. An adjoining café space allows you to enjoy your purchases with a beverage—the perfect spot to cap off your afternoon of food walking with a well-deserved sweet break.
Tips
The shop is about 10 minutes by car from central Yanai, with ample parking. Boxed confections are standard souvenirs, so plan your selections with gift recipients in mind. If buying fresh confections, bringing a cooling bag is a good idea.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour. Visit during afternoon snack time to fully savor fresh-baked items in the café.
