Hiyoko little chicken cake is one of the well known Japanese traditional confectionery from Chikuho Iizuka city, Fukuoka prefecture. It's originally produced by a company named after its popularity, Hiyoko Honpo Yoshinodo whom the founder, Shigeru Ishizaka put so much love in creating unique sweets for people around the city.The idea comes from the demand from the city miner workers who demand more 'sweets' in order to fulfill their energy back. Shigeru then introduced this cute sweets that is appealing not just from its outer appearance but inside as well. More than 100 years since it's invented , Meika Hiyoko Cake gains love not just from Japanese people but foreigners too.

The outer skin texture is delicate yet study at the same time.Originally made from 'hiyoko flour' and honey that only hiyoko cakes has. The fillings inside has light yellowish color like an egg yolk and it actually it is, combined with bean paste that every egg lover will love.Once you eat the yellow filling , it's like you actually chew a perfect boiled egg yolks but more concentrated. Slightly sweet ! This little chicken cake will makes you fell full enough after eat one in a break time.
