The description
This product is a milk bread castella with whipped cream, and it's a limited time offering available at 7-11 stores. It was priced at 162 yen including tax.
The good
If you're the kind of person who appreciates carbs on carbs, then this is a kinda fun, interesting product to try. It's literally a slice of castella cake with whipped cream tucked inside a milk bread bun, and I think for the price it's a pretty economical treat. It's a sizeable portion, so I think there's definitely enough to split with someone else and both get a decent chunk of cake. The cake and the milk bread both tasted fresh and soft, which I'm always pleasantly surprised by with convenience store baked goods.
The not so good
As mentioned above, this product is really just carbs on carbs -- it's very bready. If that's your jam, then yay, you've found the right product! If you prefer your bread items to be more interesting with fillings/toppings, then this might be one to steer clear of. That aside, if you're looking for a filling and wallet friendly bready/cakey snack, then this certainly fits the bill. The portion size to price ratio is great, so you do get some bang for your buck (or yen, in this case!). I personally wouldn't purchase it again just because it is so bready, but I can definitely see how it would appeal to people!
