Nagasaki Castella

Nagasaki Castella is a famous confection that was transmitted from Portugal in the 16th century and underwent unique evolution in Nagasaki. Historic establishments with over 300 years of history such as Fukusaya and Bunmeido compete with each other, characterized by moist dough and the crispy texture of granulated sugar on the bottom. Some stores offer limited edition items only available at their main branch, tastings of freshly baked Castella, and factory tours, making souvenir shopping even more enjoyable. Recently, new flavors such as matcha and chocolate have also become popular, and it boasts an unshakeable position as a standard Nagasaki souvenir.
