Japanese Cakes
From fluffy Japanese cheesecake to elegant matcha infused cakes, Japanese cakes are beloved worldwide. Typically Japanese cakes are less sweet than Western cakes and often take inspiration from wagashi, traditional Japanese sweets. Both western and Japanese cakes, such as castella from Nagasaki, adopt well-balanced flavors, perfectly matching Japanese tastes.
