Hello everyone! This is Saori from Japanese Snacks Republic!

This time! Named after the concept of a ‘little trip,’ a super delicious lemon cake flavor has arrived in a sweets series that makes you feel as if you are casually touring delicious sweets shops across Japan!

The sweet that co-Trip is focusing on this time is the ‘Lemon Donut’ from ‘Yamanoue no Roastery,’ a specialty coffee shop with an attached roastery located within an olive grove in Okayama Prefecture, Southwestern Japan! At this cafe overlooking the Seto Inland Sea, they carefully ice donuts made from ‘sourdough’—a dough naturally fermented with wild yeast—and top them with lemon peel. It’s a classic and popular sweet! They look incredibly cute, and the bittersweetness and sweet-and-sour taste of the lemon peel match the donut flavor perfectly, earning them a great reputation!

This time, that donut is recreated as a fluffy cake! Using 1.0% Setouchi lemon juice, the cream contains a double blend of Setouchi lemon juice and powder! While you can strongly feel the presence of the lemon, the chocolate and fluffy cake create a well-balanced deliciousness that is neither too sour nor too sweet, earning extremely high praise from lemon lovers! Since they are individually wrapped, you can share them with someone or save some for tomorrow!

I really want lemon lovers to try this new release! You can easily enjoy a super delicious fluffy cake, and since it’s lemon-flavored, it goes great with both tea and coffee! Please, by all means! Try the co-Trip Soft Petit Cake Lemon Donut from Setouchi!
