Nagasaki Castella Hand-Baking Experience

Nagasaki's famous castella is a Nanban confection that came from Portugal in the 16th century. At some long-established confectionery shops in the city, you can experience hand-baking castella under the guidance of skilled artisans. The approximately 90-minute experience covers everything from whipping eggs to pouring the batter and baking. You can taste the freshly baked castella and take the rest home as souvenirs. It has an authentic flavor with zarame sugar crystals firmly attached to the bottom.
