This is the Lotte Custard Cake Zeitaku Kaju Apple, containing 7.4% juice from Fuji apples.

Each box contained six individually sealed cakes.

They were circular, measuring approximately 6 cm in diameter and 2 cm in height, with a golden exterior and yellow interior. The aroma was sweet and typical of a soft baked cake.

They were reheated in an oven for three minutes at 150 °C (the box recommended two minutes in a toaster oven at 800 W). The short heating gave the top a light crispness while the interior remained moist and tender.

On tasting, the cake had a fine crumb with a slight bounce, carrying a mellow sweetness and a gentle eggy note. Inside, the custard was smooth and sweet with small flecks of vanilla. This was paired with an apple component that brought a brighter, tangier fruit character. The apple sauce was smooth rather than chunky, so it did not resemble an apple pie filling, though the flavour carried a pleasant sharpness that contrasted with the softer custard and cake.

Overall, a well-balanced cake with soft texture, creamy custard, and a fresh-tasting apple element.
