A day for hand-rolled Swiss Roll Cake

The 6th of every month is Hand-Rolled Swiss Roll Cake Day 手巻きロールケーキの日. The date was chosen because the cake’s cross‑section looks like the number 6 and because “rō‑ru” matches the sound of 6 in Japanese wordplay.

The anniversary was created by Monteur, who has created several other anniversaries, all food related, of which you will find many on City-cost! You will also find some of Monteur's dessert products reviewed on City-cost too. But just because Monteur chose the date, it is not just for Monteur roll cake, but for all the hand-rolled swiss roll cake in the land! 

A hand‑rolled Swiss roll cake is simply a Swiss roll that’s rolled by hand instead of using a machine, giving it a softer, more artisanal look and texture. Monteur hand‑rolls each cake gently to protect its soft, fluffy texture and sells them nationwide alongside cream puffs and éclairs.
