Nagasaki Wasanbon Castella “Kinkai no Kokoro” 0.5 ¥1280
I heard that the Grand Food Hall in Roppongi, Tokyo has a stock once a week, so when I want to eat it right away, I go to buy it. It is said that Kinkai's heart is that he "ordered castella from all over Nagasaki and selected it after a blind test"!
Ms. Akiko Yamane, a mimore blogger who loves snacks and eats snacks almost every day 365 days a year, will serve as the chairperson of the selection committee and select 10 items that resonate with her heart. From the snacks eaten from December 2020 to November 2021, we have selected the ones that captured Mr. Yamane's heart.

I was. Among them, the one that caught my eye was the castella called "Kinkai no Kokoro" from "Kinkaidou" in Nagasaki. A friend who has similar tastes said, "It's delicious!" Kinkaido's castella is all made with Wasanbon sugar, but Kinkai no Kokoro uses the highest quality Wasanbon sugar from Tokushima Prefecture to the limit, and the eggs are carefully selected Taiyo Eggs from Nagasaki Prefecture. To the limit, when you hear it, you may imagine a considerable sweetness. It's sweet, of course, but it's not a stinging sweetness, and a gentle and elegant sweetness spreads in your mouth. The cross section is dark yellow and moist as you can see. The combination of refined sweetness and the large, crispy grains on the bottom is delicious! I also liked it (I'm a grainy person! Which one is everyone?). By the way, wasanbon is very fine, so if you put it to the limit, it will be really difficult to bake it cleanly. This is made to order because it can only be done by hand by skilled craftsmen with reliable techniques. It will arrive 1-2 weeks after ordering. It was so delicious that the day after I had it for the first time, I bought it again as a gift, and even sent it to my sweet-loving aunt. Size 0.5 is just the right size to give as a gift to someone who lives alone, and it's also the perfect size for my daily snacks. Ah, but my dream is to nibble on a large piece of freshly baked castella! I hope to make it happen someday (laughs)! 2303 Business hours: 9:00 to 17:00 Regular holidays: Irregular Online shop Shooting / Keiichi Sudo Hair & Makeup / Fuyumi Kubo (ROI) Composition / Text / Rina Koyama
