ABOUT My heart is always in castella

Founded in 1900 by Nakagawa Yasugoro.Since then, our aim has been to “make sweets that everyone will enjoy.”We have also made efforts every day to research and improve ingredients and manufacturing methods.Here we introduce the carefully selected ingredients for our castella cakes.

Nanban eggs, eggs made especially for castella

We use Nanban eggs specially for castella, which were developed in collaboration with a contract farm.Nanban eggs are high-quality eggs made specifically for castella.Castella has its roots in the Nanban region, so they were named “Nanban eggs.”*We do not use Nanban eggs in our chocolate castella and matcha castella.

Domestic wheat flour

We use wheat flour that is finer in grain and less prone to gluten formation than regular wheat flour. The fine bubbles created by whipping the flour create a moist castella cake. After milling, the dough is left to mature, which allows it to rise and become elastic. Bunmeido Sohonten’s castella cakes are made with 100% high-quality domestic wheat flour.

“zarame-sugar” (granulated sugar)

The defining feature of Nagasaki Castella is the”zarame-sugar” (granulated sugar) that remains at the bottom.

Castella cakes are made using starch syrup made from glutinous rice.This gives the cake a moist texture, and the amino acids in glutinous rice give the castella an exquisite flavor.
