Tsuki de hirotta tamago by Asahi

AN EGG PICKED UP FROM THE MOON!?

Yamaguchi local speciality sweet called "Tsuki de hirotta tamago", "Tsukitama" in short. Meaning "an egg picked up from the moon". I haven't had a chance to see an egg from the moon in my life, so this must be it.

Blown away knack for naming their product for sure. But the name isn't the only thing makes you fly.

Soft castella and so creamy cream is something unforgettable. There had been more than 100 flavors of "Tsukitama" were sold as limited edition, Depending on which season you visit Japan, you may be able to find their limited flavor.
