Kastean Aizu Aoi
The flagship product of Aizu Aoi, whose main store is located right next to Tsuruga Castle in Aizu-Wakamatsu. This is a flavorful castella filled with bean paste, born from the meeting of Nanban (Western) culture and Aizu tradition. The surface is stamped with the 'Aizu Hifu' seal, the library mark of the Matsudaira clan lords. In Aizu, many traces of the distant Nanban culture remain, such as those left by the Christian daimyo Gamō Ujisato, and that history lives quietly within this single item. In 1962, it received an award from the Director-General of the Science and Technology Agency. Moist sponge cake paired with elegant bean paste. It is a versatile sweet that pairs beautifully with coffee, tea, or Japanese tea. Please savor each bite along with the stories of the castle town.
