Kasdose from Hirado Tsutaya
The 'phantom sweet' that was once kept secret within the Hirado Domain is Kasdose. It is a rich, Nanban-style masterpiece made by dipping firm Castella into egg yolk, simmering it in hot molasses, and finally coating it in sugar. Its roots trace back to the Nanban trade following the introduction of firearms. The producer, Tsutally, was founded in the 2nd year of Bunki (1502) and is one of Nagasaki's oldest confectionery shops, serving as the official confectioner for the Matsuura clan of the Hirado Domain for generations. In the past, it was a special sweet of the domain that was out of reach for commoners. It is a special masterpiece where you can feel the weight of history, only found in Hirado. With its golden glowing appearance and melting sweetness, it is a luxurious dish that encapsulates the history of Hirado.
