Minato Murafuku Kiku Castella

"Kiku Castella" is a signature confection from Hachinohe's Minato Murafuku, established in 1924, which encapsulates the traditions of Hachinohe, the village of chrysanthemums, into a single castella cake. In the Nanbu region, including Hachinohe, the vibrant yellow edible chrysanthemum "Abagyu" has been cultivated since ancient times. Its name is said to derive from a prestigious palace where the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang, admired chrysanthemums. By kneading dried Abagyu and homemade chrysanthemum-infused sake into the batter, the cake is baked to a moist perfection. With every bite, the delicate aroma of chrysanthemum rises, offering a sophisticated flavor for adults. It is a slightly luxurious castella that carries the essence of Hachinohe's landscape.
