Japanese-style Cardamom Roll by Kamome Bakery

Many people love a warm cinnamon roll done in traditional American style for how aromatic, fluffy and buttery they are. So I had to try this cardamom version by one of my favourite bakeries. Kamome Bakery is Japanese in style despite being based in Singapore, and what I love about Japanese bakeries is their wide range of textures achieved by a combination of baking techniques and different flours such as rice (or komeko), almond poudre, potato or sweet potato, for example. I often don't know what they use, but they are great at achieving the perfect combination of crispy outside but fluffy inside. I also love Indian sweets and desserts because they often use cardamom, but I just find them too sweet, and I haven't seen the spice used in other types of Asian or Western desserts such as cakes and breads. So this is one of the firsts that I've seen. This cardamom roll indeed did not disappoint.
