Tsuki de Hirotta Tamago (Egg Picked Up on the Moon)
When you break open the soft, moist steamed castella sponge, smooth custard cream overflows, and bits of chopped chestnut peek through—this is Yamaguchi's popular confection, 'Tsuki de Hirotta Tamago.' It is produced by Asahi Seika/Kashinoki in Yamaguchi Prefecture, a company with over a hundred years of history. When steaming the dough, they use 'Kotona Mizu,' famous spring water drawn from Mount Kotoishi, and employ a unique double-steaming method to achieve a fluffy and moist finish. The cream uses fresh milk from local Yamaguchi, boasting a mellow melt-in-your-mouth texture. The domestically produced chopped chestnuts provide a wonderful accent within the cream, harmonizing with the egg-rich sponge. Please treat yourself to this gently sweet steamed confection.
