A discussion of recent search trends
The search trends as of May 4, 2026, perfectly reflect the calm of the second half of GW and interest in everyday life. In addition to the afterglow of seasonal events such as Children’s Day and GW, watching professional baseball games such as Giants vs. Yakult and Chunichi vs. Hanshin, as well as breaking news on Naoya Inoue’s boxing match, attracted high attention during the holiday weekend. Meanwhile, searches related to earthquakes in Nara and Osaka also ranked high, indicating a growing awareness of disaster prevention and interest in safety. At the dinner table, demand for easy, familiar sweets to relieve holiday fatigue and homemade sweets to be enjoyed with the family seems to coincide with the “desire to reset” that is unique to this time of year.

Approximate total calories: 210 kcal per slice
way of making
Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius. Line a pound cake mold with a sheet and sift the flours together twice to make a lump-free, mouth-watering cake.
Beat the butter: Place the soft butter in a bowl and smooth it out with a whisk. Add the cane sugar and let it air patiently for about 3 minutes until the whole mixture is white and shiny.
Add the beaten eggs in several batches. The most important trick to prevent separation and keep the mixture moist is to mix thoroughly without rushing.
Add the flour and soymilk alternately, then switch to a rubber spatula and mix gently in a “no” motion. Stop mixing as soon as the powderiness disappears! This is the secret of lightness.
After 40 minutes, when the sweet aroma starts to waft, it is ready to bake. Check it by sticking a bamboo skewer into it.
This is the secret to the delicious taste! Key Points
If matcha is “browned” too much, the color will sink. Spraying a little mist on the surface when placing in the oven will prevent it from drying out and keep the beautiful green color of matcha bright.
Examples of mistakes we tend to make
We sometimes hear people say, “I didn’t mix it enough and the flour became lumpy,” or “I mixed it too much and it turned out to have a rubbery texture.” Especially after adding the flour, minimize the number of times you mix. Remember that the dough is done when it is shiny, and you will never make a mistake!
At the end.
Thank you for reading to the end. It tastes even better the next day as the flavors blend together. Please enjoy it during your reward time.
