Three features of "100nen Shifuon": New texture created by traditional ingredients

This product has achieved unique features not found in conventional chiffon cakes by combining the techniques unique to a specialty store with traditional Nara ingredients.

Feature 1: "Melt-in-your-mouth" texture created by Yoshino-honkatsu

By blending Yoshino honkuzu into the chiffon cake batter, we have achieved a deep and delicate melt-in-your-mouth texture that melts on the tongue while remaining moist, in addition to the fluffy texture of ordinary chiffon cakes.
