Nagomi Cake House, 15915 S Western Ave # D, Gardena, CA 90247

If you like Japanese style soft cakes with whipped cream that are delicate and not too sweet, you should check out Nagomi Cake House. All their cakes (roll cakes, cream cakes, cheesecakes), puddings, cream puffs, and eclairs need to be refrigerated but will last a few days in the fridge. There is a wide variety of choose from and everything looks pretty and perfect (clearly baked with love). The Japanese flavors include hojicha, Sakura, Mont Blanc, matcha. Whole cakes and cake slices are available.

Matcha cream cake ($5.50): the cake is light like a sponge cake and the cream layers add moisture. There are three thin layers of matcha sponge cake, a layer of red bean whipped cream, a layer of matcha whipped cream, a top layer of whipped cream, and a heavy dusting of matcha powder on top. It’s light, delicate, moist, and soft. The matcha powder is slightly bitter but that actually makes the cake more interesting.

The shop is cute but there is no seating and I don’t think they sell any beverages. It’s really meant for takeout. Closed on Wednesdays

4.5 out of 5 stars
