Kumori best sellers start with the Hanjuku Cheese, the half-baked Japanese cheesecake that built the chain’s name in the Philippines, followed by the Signature Cheese Tart and the Fuwari Cheese Cup. If you only try one thing, make it the Hanjuku Cheese in Original flavor.

What are the Kumori best sellers in the Philippines?
Kumori is a Japanese bakery and cafe chain known for soft, cloud-like breads and pastries baked without preservatives, which is why regulars say the goods are best eaten within a couple of days. Across launch coverage, food blogs, and customer reviews, the same names keep coming up, and the ranking below follows that pattern.
1. Hanjuku Cheese
The signature item. A palm-sized, half-baked Japanese style cheesecake with a rich, moist cream cheese center, sold in Original and Chocolate flavors. Reviewers keep calling it the one item to try first, and it is the classic pasalubong pick.
2. Signature Cheese Tart
A flaky, buttery tart shell filled with warm, soft cheese filling. It was Kumori’s first cheese tart launch in the Philippines and still draws its own crowd.
3. Fuwari Cheese Cup
A light cheese cup sold per piece or by the box of 6. It sits between the Hanjuku Cheese and the tarts: creamy, small, and easy to share.
4. Custard Butter Bun
A soft bun with egg custard filling and buttercream. Food writers named it among Kumori’s best sellers years ago, and it still appears on the current price listing.
5. Karafuru Pan
Colorful buns in Creme Brulee, Matcha, and Tiramisu flavors. They are a good pick if you want something sweet that is not cheesecake.
6. Soft Milk Bun
Plain, soft, and milky. This is the quiet favorite for people who want Kumori’s famous soft bread with nothing fancy on top.
7. Milky Cheese Roll
The cheapest item on this list, and a solid everyday buy. Soft bread rolled with a milky cheese filling.
Two more longtime names, the Fuwa-Fuwa Cream Bun (creamy egg custard in soft bread, dusted with snow sugar) and the Soft Matcha Bun (matcha cream filling), were called best sellers in Kumori’s launch coverage. Their prices were not published in the recent price listing we checked, so they are listed here without a price: price not published online, confirm in store.
How much do Kumori best sellers cost?
Prices below come from a third-party Kumori price listing whose data was last verified on September 24, 2026. The listing itself warns that prices are subject to change and may not match in-store pricing, so treat these as a guide and confirm at the counter.
| Best seller | Details | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Hanjuku Cheese | Box of 6, Original or Chocolate | Php390 |
| Signature Cheese Tart | Box of 6 | Php410 |
| Fuwari Cheese Cup | Per piece | Php68 |

A note on older prices you may see online: blog posts from 2015 and 2016 list much lower prices, for example Php45 for the Custard Butter Bun and Php48 for a single Hanjuku Cheese. Those are historical prices, not current ones, so do not use them to budget a visit today.
Which Kumori best seller should you try first?
It depends on what you like, and this is the honest way to split it.
If you love cheesecake
Start with the Hanjuku Cheese Original. It is soft, milky, and not overly sweet, and it is the item Kumori is known for.
If you love flaky pastry
Go for the Signature Cheese Tart, ideally warm. The crust is crumbly and buttery, and the filling is at its best fresh from the oven.
If you want a cheap first taste
Pick up a Milky Cheese Roll (Php39) or a Soft Milk Bun (Php49). Both show off the soft bread Kumori is famous for without the cheesecake price tag.
If you are buying for a group
Boxes are the move: Hanjuku Cheese box of 6 (Php390) or Signature Cheese Tart box of 6 (Php410). Boxes also travel well as pasalubong.
Where can you buy Kumori best sellers?
Kumori started in the Philippines with counters at SM Makati and Landmark Makati, then added The Block at SM North EDSA. A recent mall listing also places a Kumori Japanese Bakery and Cafe at Gateway Mall 1, Upper Ground Floor. Branch lineups change over time, so check the mall directory or Kumori’s official Facebook page (KumoriPH) before you travel to a specific branch.
Most Kumori spots are small counters or kiosks with limited seating, so plan for takeaway if you visit at peak hours. Breads contain no preservatives, so eat them within a day or two of purchase.
