長崎県·銘菓
Kasdose (Hirado)
With one bite, the surrounding sugar crumbles with a crunch, and the meltingly sweet Castella overflows from within. The rich sweetness, coated in egg yolk and molasses, is an incomparable luxury. This Nanban sweet has been loved in Hirado City, Nagasaki Prefecture, for about 400 years. It is made by dipping Castella into well-beaten egg yolk, floating it in hot molasses, and finishing by coating it in sugar. The maker is Tsutaya, Nagasaki's oldest confectionery shop, founded in the 2nd year of Bunki, which served as the official confectioner to the Matsuura clan of the Hirado Domain. The methods for whipping and baking are passed down orally. This masterpiece carries the traces of an era when eggs and sugar were the ultimate luxuries. Please enjoy the sweet history of Hirado along with strong coffee or Japanese tea.
