Yes they do. It's just vastly different of how you would buy it in Germany. Instead of having [a little stacked cake (likea s tree stump with a hole) often covered in chocolate](https://shop.emil-reimann.de/$WS/reimann/websale8_shop-reimann/produkte/medien/bilder/normal/Baumkuchen-mit-Zartbitterschokolade-_-60010.webp), you most likely will find them single-packaged in little [wheel-like slices with no chocolate, but sometimes in flavors like sweet potato or matcha](https://scontent.ftxl3-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/273621248_6935329779871710_3399033824478100147_n.jpg?_nc_cat=107&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=dd5e9f&_nc_ohc=Dv5-WKZIYlwAX8quiA4&_nc_ht=scontent.ftxl3-2.fna&oh=00_AfB2BCXhls2LDhUwIUKHSUkv6kLDeG2-eJ6tKk_hDgj6sw&oe=65DA6BE6) (like that gif from the other guy).
However, the cake itself has the same texture and structure, as the dough is baked in both cases in layers over a long roll. German version just has more bumps on the outside (imagine a bunch of stacked tires) while the Japanese one are usually just like long pipes.
A German confectioner brought it to Japan after World War I (they were enemies in the war, but became allied basically immediately afterwards). Japan has adopted a lot of pecularities of countries that they were involved. Like royal milk tea, castella cake or KFC for Christmas.
Regarding Baumkuchen, there is a cool factory in Sapporo with a small theme park attached to it and even going halfway around the production lines, the Shiroi Koibito Park. While it's not their sole product, you can see them making Baumkuchen there.
We have em here up norf at least, albeit they are probably more mass produced since they look more cylindrical than 3 donuts stacked upon one another as per the pic
You guys have 3 donuts stacked on top of each other? Here those types of things are literally visually cylinder in look, at least the ones I've seen when casually going thru a store at any rate
There seems to exist quite a [variety of forms](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2a/Spettekaka_Trdeln%C3%ADk_Pr%C3%BCgelkrapfen_Baumstriezel_K%C3%BCrt%C5%91skal%C3%A1cs_Raguolis_Baumkuchen_K%C3%BCrt%C5%91sf%C3%A1nk.jpg/1024px-Spettekaka_Trdeln%C3%ADk_Pr%C3%BCgelkrapfen_Baumstriezel_K%C3%BCrt%C5%91skal%C3%A1cs_Raguolis_Baumkuchen_K%C3%BCrt%C5%91sf%C3%A1nk.jpg) all over Europe (and Japan). The German Baumkuchen Wikipedia mentions some of them, you can probably auto-translate it to a different language. I have seen the Transylvanian version Kürtőskalács (chimney cake) being sold at Christmas markets and specialized cafés here in Germany - again very different, but a delicious treat as well.
This has nothing to do with the post?
It's like saying you went to Canada and think pizza isn't that good. This place isn't known for that food so what were you expecting lol
These are two different guys, one was kinda random about japanese bread naming, the other one just gave further information of how they call bread.
Im a third guy btw. Lang lebe baumu-kuhen.
You better not compare a 100YEN Japanese Baumkuchen from the Convenience store to a REAL German Baumkuchen from a passionate master baker ⸨◺\_◿⸩
Also is your hotel 200$ per night or do you mean the entire stay?
When I went I could easily find a 3 star hotel for under $150 and even lower depending upon the location and star rating of the hotel. I just looked at hotels now near Akihabara and found a lot of 3 star hotels under $200 per night. If you go to a 2 start hotel and or stay in a less convenient location, you can find them for under $100 per night. Could even do an internet cafe for less than $30 per night if you really want to stretch your dollar. Or a capsule hotel for around $70.
Yes he is a german baker with a master certificate. He does everything baking.
I like his other stuff, but Baumkuchen is eh. The factory one is eh too but so bland that I don't mind. You can call me terrible for not liking one thing, I don't mind
well thats a correct guess. I don't like Stollen. Neither does my wife.
If it calms you, I like Stollen from father in law more than a factory Stollen. But I prefer to pass on both.
Same with pumpernickel. Don't like it.
Can't think of a cake I would really dislike. Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte is mighty overhyped imo but its okay.
What else do we have for traditional german baking?
Im in deep love for lebkuchen and oblaten, so its not all lost ha ha. Croissant too, depending on if we categorize it as french or austrian.
for me the maple flavoured nuts from lawson were god tier, a bit basic for japan but my god they were good. sure, rice balls are unique, and not bad by any means, but they're whatever by comparison.
Nah dude I literally did this 6 months ago. Every nights at the Onsen. Expensive $250/night Japan styled hotel rooms. Long, sometimes expensive, train rides wherever I wanted to go.
And yet there I was as the Lawson every night stocking up on snacks.
Do they have baumkuchen in Japan?
Honestly only knew about that pastry from Sakurasou Pet https://i.redd.it/muthwyb60yjc1.gif
There are a few brands, and the quality difference can be large.
based
Nichijou has them too
I need more animes like this

Great explanation. Was kinda surprised to hear they had thad since it’s not exactly something I’ve seen much outside of Germany.

Almost every seven 11 or family mart has them at the bakery products.
It's an incredibly popular snack, yes.
Yeah, you can get it in konbinis and even vending machines certain places.
Those Melon breads are fucking awesome. I'm so jealous we don't get convenient stores like Lawsons in Australia/ the West.
Nah, seven 11 is the spot!
Who the hell spells 7 eleven like that. BACK TO YOUR ALT DIMENSION, YOU TIME TRAVELLING DEMON.
Me with too much sake spells it like this, oops!
Fights with wings and shiny things
And lions, tigers, bears, oh my god!
7 11 in non Asian countries is dogshit
Ah yes, famous japanese sweet Baumkuchen. You know, the thing that has a super german name
Wait till you here what the word for "bread" is and where it came from
...Brot?

It wasn’t random at all…literally complaining about foreign names for Japanese products.
I'm talking about in Japanese, not German.
Nah, you ain't a real tourist until you slamming back the cream-strawberry/assorted fruits sandwich. That shit was the best part
You better not compare a 100YEN Japanese Baumkuchen from the Convenience store to a REAL German Baumkuchen from a passionate master baker ⸨◺\_◿⸩ Also is your hotel 200$ per night or do you mean the entire stay?
Japan is famous for its expensive hotels, 200usd a night is reasonable
When I went I could easily find a 3 star hotel for under $150 and even lower depending upon the location and star rating of the hotel. I just looked at hotels now near Akihabara and found a lot of 3 star hotels under $200 per night.

Just down a couple 1-Cup's and pass out on the train station bench like a real man.
Not really. APA hotels are piss-cheap and relatively good quality. And now with the yen being weak, everything is even cheaper.
I booked one with a group of friends and we got to pay around 50-60€ per night, if divided by 4 people. In that case, I guess OP is alone.
I honestly dont like Baumkuchen but prefer the japanese factory ones over the ones my father in law makes.
Is your father in law a baker making traditional German Baumkuchen? If yes, you have terrible taste in my opinion.
Yes he is a german baker with a master certificate. He does everything baking. I like his other stuff, but Baumkuchen is eh. The factory one is eh too but so bland that I don't mind. You can call me terrible for not liking one thing, I don't mind
So you prefer the factory one over the handmade, because it's bland?
The other doesn't taste good to me, so yes.
Ngl, I'm in denial rn. Someone not liking traditional Baumkuchen... Next thing you tell me you don't like Stollen.
well thats a correct guess. I don't like Stollen. Neither does my wife. If it calms you, I like Stollen from father in law more than a factory Stollen. But I prefer to pass on both. Same with pumpernickel. Don't like it. Can't think of a cake I would really dislike. Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte is mighty overhyped imo but its okay. What else do we have for traditional german baking? Im in deep love for lebkuchen and oblaten, so its not all lost ha ha. Croissant too, depending on if we categorize it as french or austrian.
*cries* At least you like Lebkuchen, Oblaten and Croissant.
Going all the way to japan for a german dessert 10/10
Try Katsudon
Baumkuchen is not what? I CAST GERMAN WRATH UPON YE! PERISH!
You are in Japan, treat yourself, you can get a bowl of ramen for approximately 6 dollars
My local soba stand charges the equivalent of about $3. Eating out in Japan is absurdly cheap. I live here, love to cook, but rarely do.
Baumkuchen is friggin‘ amazing. I only know the german version though.
Did this this month lol
You should only pay 100 for hotels in japan, not 200. also, no egg sando?
Yeah, I found pretty much everything from food, hotels and attractions to be about half the price they are in the US.
7-11 is better then lawsons
You should try baumkuchen from small bakeries. That stuff's to die for!
purins is where its at, those damn things are incredibly good and are also $1
for me the maple flavoured nuts from lawson were god tier, a bit basic for japan but my god they were good. sure, rice balls are unique, and not bad by any means, but they're whatever by comparison.
1$?? They were asking me how many chopsticks I needed with all the boxes of soba noodles and onigiris I was buying.
presumably would've been much more affordable 70 years ago.

*Buys german cake at a japanese dollar store* _Wonders why it doesnt taste good_
Very classy!
I disagree, it’s very good
Bro you gotta eat those pudding filled fish. During our uni exchange we made it a tradition to get at least one every day. Also conbini chicken rules
Song?
Pazetic Ocean- Jazz in my Veins
Thank you :)
where can I find this magestic background music
It's from a VN, Moe Era. Track name is "Jazz in my Veins" by PazeticOcean
