Each sweet potato from Oita Prefecture, 'Beniharuka', is carefully washed, steamed with the skin on in a steam kettle, then further baked in a pot to bring out the sweetness. A special sweet bean paste made with butter and egg yolks is wrapped in a separate dough, placed in a mold, and baked slowly to create a 'realistic and more delicious sweet potato dessert'.

A rich pudding made with Jersey milk from Aso Koguni, accented with a slightly bitter caramel sauce. Sandwiched with custard cream in a fluffy pancake-style dorayaki skin.

A dorayaki filled with homemade sweet red bean paste made from Hokkaido-grown 'Ogura' azuki beans, cooked slowly over time, and mixed with honey, sandwiched between a fluffy pancake-like dorayaki skin that Kikuya has been protecting since its founding.

A baked confectionery wrapped in pie crust with red bean paste kneaded with crushed walnuts. The 'Bondia', known for its buttery aroma, crunchy texture of walnuts, and rich flavor that is not too sweet, was created in 1978 to commemorate the sister city relationship between the city of Aviero in Portugal and Oita. 'Bondia' means 'good morning' or 'have a nice day' in Portuguese.
