    Personally, I like it better without the caramel icing; just a dusting of powdered sugar.

    Oh I have been looking for this recipe for many many many years. This looks like the same recipe I had when in Japan and a friends mom sent it to her. It was delish. Thank you so much for sharing, saving to make soon. You have my 5 forks, wish I could give you more.
