My mom's coworker, who recently came back from Japan, received a gift from her relatives in Osaka for Valentines Day:
Which she brought back to Canada in her suitcase
and gave to my mom.
The box was gorgeous and inside was baumkuchen! From a place called Club Harie
Sadly the expiry date was February 12 - but we figured it would be fine.
It was a soft cake that tasted like sponge cake and we felt it was way too moist for a cake that should have expired a few days ago (makes you wonder about the preservatives that go into this cake). The fondant was sticky and melted (according to the website, the optimal location of Baumkuchen is the cool, dark place of 18 - 24℃).
Regardless, we found that the baumkuchen from Club Harie didn't have as much flavour compared to Nenrinya's and definitely didn't have the same consistency and texture as Nenrinya.
Conclusion: Loved the packaging, but not so much the cake.
