Ukeian Higashiyama Store ［烏鶏庵 東山店］

The gold leaf version is only available at this store. The soft serve ice cream made with silkie eggs is popular.

"Ukeian" is a confectionery shop with six stores in Kanazawa City and one in Tokyo. They sell castella and sweets made with the eggs of Tenrai Silkie chickens, which are raised with care in the mountains of Kanazawa on their own farm. Silkie chickens are rare and highly nutritious, as they lay few eggs. "Silkie Castella" is made with these eggs, carefully baked by craftsmen one by one. In order to make the most of the natural flavor of the silkie eggs, the amount of sugar used is kept to a minimum, resulting in a rich flavor that brings out the texture of the ingredients. With its modest sweetness, fine, moist and gentle texture, and beautiful appearance, it is popular as a gift and is a product that is enjoyed by people of all ages and genders.

Also worth checking out is the Silkie Egg Soft Serve Ice Cream, which has a rich flavor that makes use of the nutritious silkie eggs. Located in a corner of Higashi Chaya District, one of Kanazawa's most popular tourist spots, the Mount Higashiyama store serves special soft serve ice cream sprinkled with gold leaf that is only available here. In addition to soft serve ice cream and kasutera, they also stock a wide variety of light-tasting sweets such as pudding, baumkuchen, chiffon cake, and boro, all made with silkie eggs, making this the perfect place for anyone looking for a Kanazawa souvenir.
