1. Matcha Strawberry Warabi – Earthy Meets Sweet

Matcha has been a steady favorite for years, but in 2025, it’s all about pairing matcha with bright, fruity notes. Our Matcha Strawberry Warabi brings the slightly bitter, earthy tones of matcha together with the juicy sweetness of strawberries, layered in a soft warabi mochi base. It’s a flavor combo that feels both wholesome and luxurious, making it a perfect treat for matcha fans looking for something new.

Why it’s trending: Wellness-driven desserts with superfood ingredients like matcha are in high demand, and pairing them with fruit adds freshness.

2. Pistachio Warabi – Nutty, Creamy, and Oh-So Luxurious

Pistachio has taken the dessert world by storm—and for good reason. Its vibrant green hue, natural sweetness, and buttery texture make it a favorite among pastry lovers. Our Pistachio Warabi combines soft, mochi-like layers with smooth pistachio cream for a delightful bite that’s chewy, nutty, and indulgent without being overly sweet.

Why it’s trending: Pistachio is everywhere—cakes, gelato, lattes—thanks to its premium feel and aesthetic appeal on Instagram.

3. Yuzu Mango – A Tropical Citrus Twist

If you love a burst of freshness in your dessert, this one’s for you. Yuzu, a Japanese citrus fruit with aromatic, tangy notes, meets the sweet, juicy mango in this bright and vibrant flavor. Together, they create a refreshing tropical-citrus profile that feels light, fragrant, and perfect for warm weather (or any time you need a mood boost!).

Why it’s trending: Yuzu is one of the hottest flavors of 2025, loved for its unique citrus aroma and culinary sophistication. Paired with mango, it’s a tropical dream.

4. Earl Grey Yogurt White Peach – Tea-Infused Elegance

This flavor is all about sophistication and subtlety. Earl Grey tea, known for its distinct bergamot aroma, is blended with creamy yogurt and juicy white peach for a cake that’s refreshing yet indulgent. The yogurt brings a slight tang that balances sweetness, while Earl Grey adds an aromatic depth.

Why it’s trending: Tea-based desserts are gaining momentum as consumers look for elevated flavors that pair beautifully with coffee or afternoon tea.

5. Black Sesame Taro – Earthy and Comforting

Looking for something rich, nutty, and deeply satisfying? Our Black Sesame Taro cake layers two classic Asian flavors for a dessert that feels traditional yet modern. The nutty intensity of black sesame meets the soft sweetness of taro, creating a harmonious blend of texture and flavor.

Why it’s trending: Earthy flavors and nostalgic Asian-inspired desserts are becoming mainstream, appealing to those who love desserts that aren’t overly sweet.

2025 is shaping up to be a year of creative flavor pairings, cultural fusion, and textural surprises. Whether you’re into the nutty elegance of pistachio, the refreshing zing of yuzu, or the comforting depth of black sesame, there’s a trending cake flavor for everyone.
