Chateraise, a popular patisserie from the Yamanashi prefecture, Japan, has been expanding rapidly in Singapore with stores opening in prominent areas one after another. Their prices are kept reasonable, considering that they are flown directly from Japan. Other than cakes which are a hit with the masses, their ice-creams are also pretty popular with the OLs ( office ladies ) working nearby.
The Japanese Matcha Sponge Cake caught my eye so into my basket, it goes. Still have so many snacks in the store for me to try. :P
The packaging looks great and polished. Open up to reveal a very simple looking sponge cake with the green to remind you that its matcha. Being a matchaholic, I will prefer the matcha taste to be stronger and bitter, however this simple matcha sponge cake is still a delight during a tea break.
