Legendary Heichinrou mooncakes

If it were not for these mooncakes, I would not have known that Heichinrou dates back to 1884 and originates from Yokohama, Japan which was their very first branch in Chinatown.

Presently, Heichinrou is still the oldest and most loved Chinese restaurant in Japan.

This year, they have launched two different mooncakes, egg custard and lotus paste with eggyolk.

The mooncake box was Oriental and colourful.

Mini custard mooncakes:

Before I heated them up, the pastry looked dry.
After heating it up, the pastry was a bit soft and did not hold together.

The taste of these mooncakes were quite nice and the pastry was extremely buttery.

Lotus paste and egg yolk mooncakes:


The lotus paste mooncake had perfectly symmetrical large yolks in the middle and it had a nice sweet and savoury balance with the egg yolk soft and starchy.
