Nagasaki Castella Pie

This is a bite-sized snack made by wrapping castella sponge cake in pie dough and baking it. It is a unique Nagasaki specialty that allows you to enjoy two different textures at once. The roots of castella date back to the 16th century, when Portuguese missionaries introduced it to Hirado and Nagasaki as 'Nanban' (Southern Barbarian) confectionery; its name is said to derive from the pronunciation of the Kingdom of Castile. We have taken this historic castella and wrapped it in a crispy, thick pie crust. The savory aroma of the outer pastry meets the moistness of the inner castella, creating layers of different textures in every bite. The surface of the pie is also a highlight, featuring motifs characteristic of Nagasaki, such as Nanban ships and churches. Its easy-to-eat size makes it perfect for sharing as a souvenir.
