What's in this?

              JPY30

 

You might think confectionaries sold in this country are over-decorated, and their packages are tacky. If so, I totally agree with you. No objection.

 

Then, how about this?

In a plain white paper bag are top and bottom pieces of chiffon cake.

worth 30yen?

The rest of the cake would be beautifully decorated and sold at about JPY200 a piece (a eighth of a whole cake).  When I found them, as a born enthusiast for end bit of food (in other words, being stingy), I instantly fell in love with these small pieces though in my fridge there were muffins I baked the night before.

 

The confectionary where I found this is run buy a lady who looks quite snappy. She could be trustworthy for not wasting every bit of her own made cake, which I thought show her love for her products. Or maybe she is a savvy merchant getting profit from every bit.

 

Anyway, at the cost of just JPY30 with this volume, don’t you thing this could be a good pudding in the time of austerity like now?
