For the most part, Lawson¡¯s new Sakura Kaoru Cheese Souffle Cake looks more intriguing than it actually tastes, though it packs a surprise twist.
The cake (?230) looks as pretty as a convenience store offering can be, themed after the soon-to-arrive cherry blossoms. Despite its pink sheen, this fluffy dessert tastes like cheesecake with sugary whipped cream on top ¡ª tasty, but nothing new. Until, that is, you get to the petal that crowns it, which is pickled and packs a salty rush. The experience is fleeting, but offers a nice twist to an otherwise familiar theme.
