Cultural note from the author:

When I was a child, my mum sometimes invited visitors to our house on the weekends. This turned out to be a special occasion for me, as my mum always bought nice cakes from the nearby cake shop. I remember volunteering to make hot drinks for the visitors so that I could join them in eating the special cakes. Have a look at the variety of delicious cakes that are available at Sweets Takayoshi in Utsunomiya, Tochigi in Japan. Their cakes remind me of the special cakes that I had during my childhood.
