It is very sweet and soft. It is rich, so it is hard to eat more than one.

It was a satisfying amount even when shared between two people. Since it arrived frozen, letting it sit for a while before eating made the cream wonderfully fluffy.

The cake is fluffy, the cream is rich, not too sweet, and tastes delicious.
tammyho1994
The original milk filling has a pure and mellow milky aroma, the cream is smooth and creamy without being cloyingly sweet, the old-fashioned bread is soft and airy, and the filling is generously generous. It tastes great whether you let it sit at room temperature for a while or eat it chilled. My family prefers light milky desserts, so it's perfect as a small dessert after a meal. I also bring one to work to share with colleagues; the light and not-too-sweet flavor is very universally appealing. The individual packaging makes it easy to store, making it an essential item for everyday stocking! I especially love the white one; the original flavor is the best! I buy it every time!

One of my favorites , sweet light and a delectable balance so it doesn't punch you in the face with sugar like you'd expect. Definitely buying more from Sayweee, that i finally have a way to get them without taking a half out drive both ways to the Asian grocer.

Very delicious and not too sweet.
Heidi 0305
The chocolate flavor is rich and smooth, with a silky, creamy filling that avoids the sourness of inferior cocoa. The soft outer layer encases a generous, bursting filling, and it's refreshingly smooth when chilled. Individually packaged for hygiene, it's perfect for breakfast with milk or as a snack. My family loves chocolate desserts. I bought several to share at work; the rich flavor was a hit with my colleagues. It keeps well when frozen, so there's no need to worry about it spoiling quickly. Great value for money, I keep buying it! I still prefer the original white flavor though

I didn't expect the ice cream bread to be so big! I can eat my fill of chocolate ice cream all at once!

Of the three flavors, I think Choco is the best. I'm not even a huge fan of Choco. The other creams from this brand are so rich that I get sick of them after a few bites, but I've almost finished Choco. It's not too sweet or greasy, which is nice.

Very creamy and tasty
Emerald_layla
Frozen bread, no baking required. After thawing, the bread is soft and fluffy, bursting with a generous matcha filling when you break it open. The subtle bitterness of the matcha balances the sweetness of the cream, creating a refreshing, ice cream-like texture. The crust is soft and not dry, and a single loaf is just the right size for a meal. My family loves chilled desserts, and one is perfect for afternoon tea. I occasionally bring a few to the office, and my colleagues are all hooked after trying them. The ingredients are high-quality and the filling is generous. I always order some with the matcha flavor – rich, with a subtle bitterness and tea aroma – absolutely amazing! I always stock up on the matcha and original flavors whenever they're in stock! Go for it!!

First off, the bread is incredibly soft and chewy, and it's delicious. The aroma of matcha hits you as you open the package, and the flavor is slightly bitter, but with a long chew, a subtle sweetness develops, suggesting a high matcha content. Eating it with coffee, the cream melts and blends beautifully, creating a delicious flavor. While I understand this is the original style of bread, I personally find the amount of cream too overwhelming. The cream feels like chewing on a stick of butter fresh from the fridge.

I thought it would be creamier. Maybe it’s because I put it in the fridge and waited one day to eat it, but it was a bit dry and could have used more cream. Still good though! I would buy it again if it had more cream.
Yuki
It's delicious and full of cream! 3rd time! The price isn't too expensive either.
inori
Tastes like a dinner roll with whipped cream. the cream is not evenly distributed throughout the roll, it's only a strip in the middle. The cream has no coconut flavor. There are sweet coconut shavings on top. the bread itself is chewy and not super soft, but I did put it in the fridge. I will probably not purchase this again.

This was a little smashed but still yummy.
