The Last thing we expected to find in Yufuin was a shop selling one of the best Swiss Rolls we have had so far.
What was the giveaway? Well, the shop was already entertaining a queue at 9.30am but only opens at 10am - good? You bet! We were walking from Yufuin Station towards Lake Kinrinko when we chanced upon the B-speak cake shop. There was already a queue of around 8-10 waiting patiently for the shop to open. Not wanting to queue, we walked towards the lake and came back afterwards.

The shop - Yufuin Sanso Murata original homemade cake was much emptier by the time we got there around 2pm. The lady over the counter told us that they had only the large cake which is the 6 inches costing JPY1,420 each. She advised that we the cake could last one day as they use fresh cream for their cakes.
So we brought it back from Yufuin and had it as dessert that night. The box said "Brand New Puffy Taste" - so we were really looking forward to the cake.
Open and it reveals a Swiss Roll wrapped in a layer of (baking) paper.
We touched it and it was indeed soft to the touch.
And the smell of fresh cream... that was unmistakable.
Cutting the cake confirms the softness of the roll.
The cake was definitely fluffy enough and the fresh cream added to the taste of the cake. Not too sweet - just the right amount of sweetness IMHO. So was it worth it? Well... YES!
Yufuin is not just about the onsens and Lake Kinrinko - try B-speak the next time you visit Yufuin. I assure you will not be disappointed. And there is a lot more in Yufuin than just B-Speak. Make sure you check it out!
