Swiss Roll ... or rather Japanese roll ?

I first tried an authentic Japanese sponge cake roll when i was at Mt Rokko in Japan. It was just so light and the cream inside was not too rich which made it a really nice balance. The sponge is made to look like a cow too and this was not only just painted on the exterior of the sponge roll it actually goes through the whole sponge sheet (unfortunately I was too busy eating to take more pictures)



So This is my attempt at the swiss roll . Pretty successful I thought although definitely not as pretty. I got this recipe from a Japanese website. I am quite proud of my attempts with a bit of guess work and google translate :)
