It is definitely a must try delectable in Japan.

Its shape is visually appealing and unique with cube shaped cakes with visible air pockets surrounded the edges of the dessert so as to make it look like a fine, tender and fluffy soufflé. After being featured on TV, it became even more popular in Japan.
