Peach Castella
The glossy sugar coating glitters on the peach shape; as you take a bite, the crunchy sweetness of the 'suri-mitsu' (sugar syrup) gives way to a moist, soft Castella sponge. It is a celebratory sweet that is delightful both to look at and to eat. A local Nagasaki confection, it features fluffy baked Castella coated twice with sugar syrup, with leaves and stems represented by nerikiri (sweet bean paste). The peach is considered a sacred fruit of immortality in China, and influenced by this, it developed into an auspicious sweet in Nagasaki. It is widely enjoyed as a gift for Hinamatsuri, the first seasonal festival for infants, weddings, or childbirth celebrations. It is large enough to overflow from your palm, and slicing it will brighten any dining table. With its elegant sweetness and auspicious appearance, it is a treat that colors celebratory moments.
