A slice of the Le ‘Omm’ cake from Nesuto. Our cake was definitely threatening to collapse and wouldn’t stand up straight, but thankfully, it tasted alright!

I enjoyed that the matcha taste was rather strong, particularly with the coating of matcha powder on top of the cake. (Sadly, they’ve changed the design. I much prefer the older design.) The sponge cake is soft and moist and goes well with the cream. The azuki red bean layer is thin and you can only taste it slightly, but I liked this because I think it’d be too overpowering otherwise.

Overall, it was an average cake for me. I would have preferred if there was some kind of textural contrast (some sort of crunch?) because after a few bites, it feels somewhat one-dimensional. Also, it’s a bit pricy, but okay with the 1 for 1 from #burpplebeyond.
