A limited-season kasutera (castella sponge cake) with a pink batter lightly infused with the flavor of sakura (cherry blossom). The taste of egg still comes through clearly, giving it a deep, layered sweetness, and it is a Hokkaido souvenir sweet that is sure to please as a gift.

What Japanese buyers say

The one reviewer, a fan of Morimoto's castella, tried this limited-period sakura version: pink sponge with a subtle cherry-blossom note while the egg flavor stays strong, which they call superb. It was very well received as a gift.
