First introduced to Japan in 1919 by German confectioner Karl Juchheim, the iconic ring cake known as Baumkuchen has evolved into one of the country's most cherished sweets. The brand's flagship location in Kobe's Motomachi district honors this enduring legacy with an elegant European-style café and pastry shop. Visitors can relax upstairs over tea or sample location-exclusive specialties, such as the freshly baked Meister Baumkuchen and the Apfelbaum, which bakes a whole apple inside delicate sponge layers.
