The Japanese have got to be the masters of presentation and packaging. I love receiving gifts from Japan because they're wrapped up as pretty as birthday gifts; I feel like it's my birthday again everytime I unwrap one. Anyway, this little package was bought from a Tokyo train station in Tokyo . What an appropriate name, "Gateaux de Voyage" = "Cakes of Voyage".
I was pretty surprised that this actually tasted as good as it looked. Normally I'm quite disappointed with the taste of some Japanese products because they're created more as feasts for the eyes and not the palate but the outer layer of this cake was moist and light whilst the ganache filling was rich and creamy. This actually tasted like a chocolate twinkie on steroids haha.D
