In Japan, the traditional Christmas Eve meal isn’t over until you’ve had a slice of Christmas cake.
The tantalizing cross-section reveals a layer of strawberry-flavored cream between the layers of sponge cake, and a rich whipped cream topping.
The star attraction may look like a strawberry slice, but it’s actually a chocolate shaped and colored to look like the fruit.
The Chanmery will be on sale for slightly longer, with your last chance to order one of the 1,000-yen bottles (Taki here, Mitsuha here) being December 31.
