Castella or Kasutera

Castella or Kasutera (in Japanese) is Japanese traditional snack

made of Egg, Sugar, flour, and starch syrup. 

It shapes rectangle. Color is yellow and dark brown on top of the castella.

Now, Nagasaki is the most famous city known as making tasty Castella in Japan. 

When I went to Nagasaki to eat castella, I was really surprised because 

the taste there and Japan are totally different. Castella in Nagasaki is more expensive

and not sweet that much. It is a little bit expensive as snack, but I definitely recommend

you to buy castella in Nagasaki!!!!

I would like to talk about a history of Castella.

In 16th century, when Portuguese reached to Japan, they broght many different kinds of thing that Japan did not have that time. Castella was in part of those things.

Sailor in Japan ate castella because it is easy to carry and healthy. 

Now, there are different color and taste Castella in Japan. (image above)
