Omi Local Sake Castella - Chikubushima

As soon as you take a bite of the sponge, the aroma of Japanese sake gently wafts through. This is a slightly sophisticated castella born in Nagahama. The name 'Chikubushima' comes from the local sake inspired by Chikubu Island, a mystical island floating in the north of Lake Biwa. Known for Benzaiten and Hogon-ji Temple, Chikubushima is an island of faith, and sake bearing its name has been brewed in the Nagahama region for generations. By kneading this sake into the batter, we have achieved a deep flavor where a subtle hint of alcohol drifts through the sweetness. With a moist texture and a fragrance of sake that lingers in the nose, it is a quintessential item from the Kohoku region, perfect as a gift for sake lovers. It also pairs beautifully with coffee or tea.
