It has a stronger milky taste than Japanese castella, and is more like a pound cake. I personally like the fluffy texture. It seems to be made in China.

Fragrant and delicious sponge cake. Soft and moderately sweet.
Sharon Lai
The cake has a dense, soft and moist texture, unlike other cakes of the same brand which are chewy and hard. But there is no old-fashioned cake, and the refrigerated cake is soggy. It tastes a bit like Yakult.
