Otakusa
An adorable Western-style confection where each petal of a hydrangea is expressed through thin layers of pie crust. The name 'Otakusa' originates from Siebold, who traveled to Nagasaki in the late Edo period; he named the hydrangea after his beloved woman, 'O-taki-san' (scientific name: Hydrangeia otaksa). It is produced by Karakusa, a confectionery shop in Isahaya City. Artisans manually shape and bake each thin piece of pie crust into the shape of a petal. It has been a long-selling favorite since its release in 1971. A treat where the buttery flavor and crispy texture are accompanied by a romantic story unique to Nagasaki. Perfect for tea time or as a gift.
