Matsuo-ken Castella
This is Castella from Matsuo-ken, the 'original progenitor of Castella,' boasting a history of over 340 years since its founding in 1681 (Tenwa 1). It is one of the three great Nagasaki Castellas, alongside Fukusaya and 文明堂 (Bunmeido). Made using only four ingredients—eggs, sugar, flour, and starch syrup—the key to its flavor is the fresh eggs delivered every morning from contract farmers. The traditional method, where artisans carefully bake each piece by hand, has been preserved through generations. The fine, moist sponge harmonizes beautifully with the crunchy texture of the granulated sugar (zara-me) settled at the bottom. This is the taste of a prestigious shop that has been quietly loved in Nagasaki without expanding nationwide. Please take your time to savor this authentic Castella that has continued since the Edo period.
