Hi,
They seem to be almost identical, though sometimes the Japanese version is sweetened with honey.
From the site JapaneseCooking101: Just like French sponge cakes called génoise, this recipe doesn’t have any leavenings such as baking powder. The batter rises in the oven because of well beaten eggs.
I hope that helps!
