The description
This product is a slice of chestnut pound cake, and you can find it at Starbucks stores for a limited time. It was priced at 390 yen including tax.
The good
Before I even go into the taste of this cake, I think it's a really pretty one to look at visually. It has a marbled appearance, since it contains both a simple plain pound cake dough and a chestnut pound cake dough. You can also see the candied chestnuts in the center, and the top is covered with a sugary glaze which also adds a bit of a crispy crunchy texture (in a good way!) I appreciated that this was one of the more economical sweets choices at Starbucks right now, coming in at just under 400 yen including tax. If you are planning a Starbucks trip and contemplating what sweet treat to get, then this is a solid option.
The not so good
Like any limited time option, you've only got a short window of time to get your hands on this cake. I'm not exactly sure how long it'll be around for, but if it sounds like a must try item to you I would recommend heading in to your nearest Starbucks store sooner rather than later. I think this cake will appeal to anyone who enjoys chestnut flavored sweets. It's balanced, and the price feels pretty decent (based on general Starbucks prices, anyway!) for what you get. I hope you enjoy it if you end up giving it a try -- happy eating! :)
