This cake came with mixed feelings. Personally I think the mainstream crowd may not enjoy it as much as I did, so I would be as objective as I can. The red beans tasted much like natural beans aka starchy with a hint of nut. This was balanced off with its matcha cream which had abit of sweetness, and its slightly roasted whipped cream which provided the main sweetness as well as that extra "oooomph" from that slight roast on its top. No ratings, cos this would be for the adventurous and the bean lovers.
