Taste

A taste of its own, unlike any other cake on the plateau.

How to enjoy it

Eat it as a cake while the buckwheat is in flower. The Đồng Văn festival is typically mid-to-late November.

The bloom runs from white in late September to pink through October and November and deep red by the end of December, and different counts put the season anywhere from October to December.

Where to try it

On the plateau in buckwheat season, and at the Đồng Văn festival.
