Nagasaki Castella
Our castella cake is hand-mixed by experienced bakers, combining simple, carefully selected eggs, sugar, thick rice syrup, and flour to create this fragrant, delicious masterpiece. Fukusaya is famous for the sugar crystals remaining on the bottom of the cake even after mixing called "zarame-sugar" (granulated sugar). Enjoy that delightful crunchy flavor at the bottom of each piece!

Since our establishment in 1624, we have been making fine castella cake for over 390 years. Our founder learned the secrets of making castella from a Portuguese visitor, and over the years it has evolved into a Japanese treat representing a perfect fusion of Eastern and Western cultures. We will continue to make the finest treats, with loving care.

Seitaro, the 12th head of Fukusaya, adopted the bat as the shop’s symbol in a wish to make castella one of the most famous cakes of Nagasaki. In China, the bat is an auspicious symbol said to bring a happiness and good luck, along with peach. In addition, the sound of one of the characters in “bat” is the same as the “fuku” in Fukusaya in Chinese, and with the active trade between Nagasaki and China over the centuries, the bat symbol evolved into the corporate trademark.
