Intro
Amaiwai City, Kanagawa Prefecture—
Lately, rumors have been swirling that there is a delicious cake shop on the outskirts of town run by the "cakes" themselves.
The source of the rumors consists only of several photos of cakes uploaded to social media and testimonies like "This was sold at that shop," "I found the shop on the outskirts of Amaiwai City," and "There were 'cakes' in that shop."
However, no information about such a bakery appears on maps or gourmet sites, and those who claim to have gone apparently can't remember the shop's name or the specific route they took.
Because of this, various speculations are flying—some say it's a complete hoax, others say only the chosen can reach it—and the rumors are starting to grow legs.
