I tried the autumn sweets "Pumpkin Baumkuchen" limited to FamilyMart. For a moment, it was a fancy candy with a sweet scent like chestnuts.
There was a Halloween sticker on the package
The price is 140 yen (excluding tax) and the calories are 264 kcal. A cake with a moist texture that makes the best use of the ingredients using Hokkaido pumpkin. The color is bright yellow, and it looks like a pumpkin. The package is designed in black and white only, but there is a small sticker in the corner to celebrate Halloween.
When you cut it and grab it, it has a fluffy and sweet scent. It's a fragrance that is associated with the marron flavor, and if you don't know it's a pumpkin flavor in advance, you might misunderstand it. It is very elegant and finished.
You can enjoy it even if you cut it into small pieces
It was a little different from the taste that comes to mind when you hear pumpkin, but it has an autumn-like flavor that enhances the fluffy mouthfeel and firm sweetness of the dough. If you want to have a drink, it's definitely hot coffee. It looks good in black or cafe au lait.
I wondered if there was such a pumpkin flavor.
