Castella (文明堂/Bunmeido)
'Castella is number one, the telephone is number and two.' This is the prestigious brand famous for that phrase. Bunmeido was founded in Nagasaki in 1900 by Angoro Nakagawa. When the company expanded to Tokyo, it used a clever copy involving its telephone number 'two' in TV commercials, playing a pivotal role in turning a local Nagasaki confection into a nationwide snack. The main store preserves a fine-textured, moist sponge and the crunchy texture of coarse sugar at the bottom. Its elegant sweetness is considered the gold standard of Nagasaki Castella. Slicing a piece and serving it with tea makes for a slightly luxurious afternoon moment. It is a classic Nagasaki souvenir that continues to be loved across generations.
