Here's another snack I bought from Okashi World. It's a baumkuchen that's cut smaller slices! 8D

If google translate is correct, the name of the snack is Koukiri Cut Baum, which means 'thick slices of cut baumkuchen'. For those unfamiliar with baumkuchen, it's a German cake that's quite popular in Japan. It also looks like kek lapis. 8D

The cake is dense, but not too dense. It's also not too sweet. It's actually quite pleasant and easy to eat. A nice snack to eat with your afternoon tea or coffee. Only thing is, once you open the large packet, you should consume the cakes as soon as possible or put them in an airtight container, because the cakes dry out pretty quickly. I've let mine sit out for a week or two, and despite still being in their individual packaging they've become as dry as a desert. T___T (Don't judge me, they've haven't reached their expiration dates!)

It's different from kek lapis in that it's not as oily/moist, and that it lacks spices used in Indonesian kek/kuih lapis. I like both baumkuchen and kek lapis, but thanks to Japan's tendency to give exotic flavours to everything, I end up favouring baumkuchen just a little bit more, lol.
