About Us

Setoda-cho in Hiroshima Prefecture is Japan's leading lemon-producing region, accounting for 28% of domestically grown lemons (as of fiscal year 2009). Leveraging over a century of lemon cultivation in the warm climate of Ikuchi Island, ideal for citrus farming, and the cake-making expertise acquired by Setoda-born patissiers in Kobe. The Setoda Lemon Cake "Shimagocoro" is the product of aligned intentions from its creators. With 960,000 cakes manufactured annually, it deviates from traditional lemon cakes, which typically incorporate lemon juice into the batter and are coated with white chocolate. Instead, our aim was to create a lemon cake that emphasizes the fragrance rather than the acidity of lemons. This is made possible by Setoda patissiers who possess an in-depth understanding of lemons as an ingredient.

    Using safe and trustworthy Setoda-grown lemons that are able to consume the peel.

    The reason we can use lemon peels with confidence is that the lemon farmers in Setoda cultivate lemons that are safe to eat, including the peel. Setoda-grown lemons are free from preservatives and wax, ensuring safety and peace of mind.

    The secret to the aroma lies in the jam made from lemon peels.

    The secret behind the distinctive lemon aroma lies in our special lemon jam, meticulously crafted to retain the fragrance compounds, particularly limonene, found in the peel. This jam is made using only the peel, ensuring that the aroma components are preserved. The crucial step in this process is carefully removing the peel to prevent the escape of fragrance compounds. Through painstaking manual effort, we have succeeded in extracting the full aroma and flavor of the lemon, resulting in a lemon cake like no other.

Chosen Sweet for G7 Summit

The "Setoda Lemon Cake" by Shimagocoro was chosen as a tea cake during coffee breaks at the G7 Hiroshima Summit. The response has already begun to emerge both inside and outside Hiroshima Prefecture, receiving positive feedback from both within and outside Hiroshima Prefecture. Staff at Shimagocoro Hiroshima Cake Store noted its popularity, especially during the Golden Week holiday, and foreseeing potential growth due to high demand. Yoshika Okumoto, the Executive Director, mentioned increased production post-summit despite a brief quiet period, while Ryuzo Okumoto, the President, expressed delight at the cake's recognition and support beyond Setoda, even in cities like Onomichi, Hiroshima, and Tokyo.

    The lemons grown in terraced fields with good drainage in Ikuchi Island are soft and sweet-skinned with juicy, sharply acidic flesh and minimal bitterness or astringency, creating a wonderful aroma.♪

  • customer5

    The lemon cake is exquisite. They use local lemons for their cakes, and instead of a chocolate coating, it's sugared, which makes it deliciously sweet without being too heavy.
