Fukusaya: 400 Years of Artisanal Excellence in Traditional Castella Making

Fukusaya, a distinguished Japanese Castella brand, boasts a rich 400-year history since its founding in Nagasaki Prefecture in 1624. Renowned for its commitment to traditional craftsmanship, Fukusaya's Castella is a testament to a legacy of flavor passed down through generations. Each artisan at Fukusaya is fully dedicated to the entire manufacturing process, ensuring consistency and quality from start to finish. Employing the 'separate beating method,' where egg whites and yolks are beaten individually, Fukusaya's artisans hand-crack each egg to create the Castella's unique texture. This method, combined with the use of simple, premium ingredients without additives, results in a distinctively fluffy and moist texture with a rich sweetness and aromatic appeal. The characteristic crunchy sugar layer at the bottom of each Nagasaki Castella piece is a tribute to the artisan's skill, finely tuned to adapt to seasonal temperature and humidity variations.

Fukusaya's dedication to these labor-intensive, time-honored methods sets it apart in a modern, fast-paced world. Having won the hearts of connoisseurs across Japan, Fukusaya is now taking its revered flavors to the global stage. The upcoming pop-up store in Hong Kong marks Fukusaya's exciting international expansion. Here, connoisseurs and new fans alike can savor the handcrafted delicacy that encapsulates nearly four centuries of cherished traditional flavors and methods, meticulously baked to perfection.
