Navona Long Life (Vanilla)

Sadaharu Oh said, 'Nabona is the home run king of sweets.'

The “Navona” (by the way, the Navona we bought this time was “Navona Long Life,” which is smaller than the regular Navona and has a longer shelf life) from Kameyama Man’nendo, a long-established confectioner in Jiyugaoka, Tokyo, is so famous that this TV commercial was the catalyst for it becoming a household name.

What a commercial in which Sadaharu Oh of the Giants says, “Navona is the home run king of sweets.

At a time when baseball was extremely popular, the effect of Sadaharu Oh’s proclaiming that Navona was the “Home Run King” was tremendous.

The Navona, a soft sponge cake with cream in between, is now the originator of this style of pastry.

The combination of fluffy dough and refreshing vanilla cream.

It is a mouthwatering and moderately moist sponge cage. The dough is fluffy on the inside with a bit of crispy roasted powdered sugar on the outside.

The black dot in the cream, the vanilla bean, is well defined. Both the dough and cream are well balanced, and the high quality of the ingredients also makes “Navona delicious any time of the year” possible. It is no wonder that this quality has been loved for many years.
