The name "Hakata no Onna" did not conjure up images of what kind of confectionery it was, but it is a blend of Japanese and Western sweets with azuki Yokan (red bean jelly) wrapped in a baumkuchen. It is a small bite-sized baumkuchen.

The soft and moist baumkuchen and the smooth azuki Yokan go together better than expected. The strong Western flavor is mildly sweet, and the richness of the margarine spreads out. The azuki beans that waft in the middle add a Japanese flavor. It goes well with coffee, tea, milk, or even Japanese tea.
