The flavors of the cakes vary depending on the "train line." The colorful train-shaped box, which you might pick up even if you are not a railroad fan, contains 6 cakes, 2 each of 3 train lines (flavors).

The Tozai Line is "Blueberry. Blueberry grains are mixed into the dough and baked to resemble the Tozai Line's "blue" color. The sweet and sour blueberries accentuate the deliciousness of the dough.

The North-South Line is "Pistachio. Pistachios, which are inspired by the "emerald green" color of the North-South Line, are cut into small pieces and kneaded into the dough. The richness of the butter and the refreshing pistachio flavor are a perfect match. The crispy texture of the pistachios is also addictive.

The Hibiya Line is "Soy Milk Sesame. The "gray" color of the Hibiya Line is represented by the sesame and soy milk kneaded into the dough. The savory sesame flavor can be felt well, making this rich flavor irresistible to sesame lovers.
