A mix of Japanese and Western styles! Castella with kiri cream cheese
Castella made with kiri cream cheese is on sale from Imuraya. "Kiri cream cheese castella" and "same orange" (170 yen each, tax included). It was recommended by KALDI near my home, so I bought it and compared it!
● Amasa Hikaeme's cream cheese flavor
kiri Cream Cheese Castella is a cake-like castella that is softly baked with 12% of kiri's rich cream cheese. One orange flavor is finished with kiri cream cheese and Spanish orange peel. The orange one has a slightly yellowish appearance.
Slightly yellower than plain
First, pour the plain flavor. With a moist mouthfeel, the refreshing cream cheese flavor spreads slowly afterwards. It's sweet and refreshing. The edge part is fragrant enough to feel bittersweet, and the taste gap with the dough inside is a good impression.
And orange flavor. From the moment you bring it to your mouth, the fruity scent of citrus spreads like orange juice. You will feel a little cream cheese after swallowing, but the orange flavor is stronger. The slight bitterness of the peel is also heard.
If you want to taste cream cheese directly, try plain. The orange flavor seems to go well with alcohol such as mulled wine as well as coffee and tea.
● Toaster is not recommended
By the way, when I tried to eat it even if it was lightly baked in a toaster, it was refreshing and delicious, but I personally do not recommend it because the "moist feeling" that is the goodness of kiri cream cheese is diminished. May I add ice cream etc.!
