Shika Shoin Golden Castella Rusks

This is a specialty item from Shika Shoin in Muromachi, Kyoto, where their signature castella cake has been transformed into rusks. The golden-brown, crispy baked dough offers a light and new texture that differs from the moistness of the original castella. Shika Shoin is a confectionery shop located in a 300-year-old Kyo-machiya (traditional townhouse) in the Muromachi district, an area with historical ties to Sen no Rikyu. They are widely known for their rich, yolk-heavy castella made with eggs from Kyoto Jidori chickens raised on Tamba black soybeans. By re-baking that castella into thin slices, the aromatic fragrance and crispiness are further enhanced. This golden slice, rich in egg flavor, pairs perfectly with both tea and coffee.
