Tonozaki commented through the team, "Last year, we mixed apples from Mitsunari's family and my family, but this year we are making sweets that make use of the characteristics of each apple, so please enjoy the flavor and taste of the apples from my family in the baumkuchen! Apple juice is good, but I would be happy if you would also buy the baumkuchen."

The product packaging features players printed on it, and when the two product packages are put together they are designed to look like a double-page notebook.
