Luisa

When you break open the fluffy baked castella dough, a beautiful violet-colored bean paste is revealed. This Oita masterpiece captures your attention with its elegant sweetness and an exotic atmosphere. It is produced by Zabierly Honpo, also known for 'Zabieru'. The name 'Luisa' is said to originate from the baptismal name of a female Kakure Kirishitan (hidden Christian) who once lived in Oita. The purple bean paste, made by mixing white bean paste with violet liqueur, is wrapped in milk and butter-flavored castella dough and slowly baked in aluminum foil. A product filled with exotic charm, truly representative of Oita where Nanban culture once flourished. Buying it alongside 'Zabieru' makes for a delightful gift.
