The Le Goma ($9), with black sesame roulade, Japanese sesame diplomat cream, and black & white sesame streusel, is essentially its black sesame shuu puff counterpart at Koki, but in cake form. Both have that delightfully distinct nuttiness and aroma. Texture-wise, the cake was fluffy and relatively light, so don't feel (too) bad if you have a whole piece to yourself......

Felt that the crunchy streusel could've done without the dusting of icing sugar but that's just my personal preference. Best with a pot of tea, and I would recommend the Kuki Houjicha or one of the varieties of oolong!!!
