Starry Night Castella (Hojicha)

This castella is made by kneading plenty of hojicha (roasted green tea) from Tsuno Town, the source of the Shimanto River. The fragrant aroma of tea leaves, carefully finished by master roasters, melts into the moist sponge. Tsuno Town is a prominent tea-producing area spreading across the headwaters of the Shimanto River. The tea leaves, nurtured by pure water and rich nature, are meticulously roasted one by one by the roasters at 'Starry Night.' By using this aromatic hojicha generously in the batter, a rich tea fragrance rises the moment it is sliced. With its soft, fluffy sponge and the slightly bitter aroma of hojicha, this gentle castella allows you to feel the blessings of the river's source town. It is also perfect as an accompaniment to tea.
