Kujukushima Senpei
Kujukushima Senpei is a signature confectionery representing Sasebo. It was born in 1951, following about a year of trial and error. The hexagonal dough, shaped like a turtle shell, is sprinkled with peanuts, with the white characters for 'Kujukushima' baked into it using meringue. It is said that the hexagon represents the sea, while the peanuts represent the islands floating within Kujukushima. Even the decision to call it 'Senpei' instead of the standard 'Senbei' reflects the predecessor's desire to spread this specialty nationwide and their deep affection for Sasebo. With its crispy, fragrant, and simple taste that spreads the richness of peanuts, it is a long-selling classic of Sasebo that continues to be loved.
