What Japanese buyers say

Reviewers praise this moist baumkuchen coated in white and milk chocolate to resemble birch bark for its gentle, not-too-sweet flavor, Hokkaido ingredients and pretty box, noting it pairs well with coffee and comes pre-cut or in individually wrapped pieces. Buyers also like that it keeps well and, at roughly 200 g, is easy to carry; flavors include plain, chocolate, maple and winter-only editions.
