Nagasaki Castella, Fika & Kamakura Beniya
by Isetan Kuala Lumpur | 25th October 2024
The Well-Known Traditional Nagasaki Cake
Since 1624, Fukusaya has been making fine castella cakes 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.
Crunchy and sweet coarse sugar is an essential ingredient that brings out the best in freshly-baked castella. This dissolves over time, soaking into the sponge cake and helping keep it moist. Furthermore, they have new flavour – chocolate, which is chosen carefully to match castella perfectly. Every bite of it will melt in the mouth.
Fika: A Scandinavian Sweet Treat Experience
Introducing Fika, the brand bringing the cozy tradition of Swedish “teatime” to life with a blend of rustic, authentic flavors and stylish Scandinavian design. Known for its charmingly simple yet vibrant sweets, Fika combines classic flavors with contemporary Scandinavian aesthetics, making every bite a delightful experience.
In Japan, Isetan Shinjuku, the No.1 department store, showcases Fika as its top brand. At the heart of this recognition is Fika’s iconic Hallongrottor Strawberry Jam Cookie – a treat that’s won the hearts of fans and topped bestseller lists.
Each Hallongrottor pastry bursts with bright strawberry jam set against a soft, delicately sweetened white dough that crumbles with each bite. It’s a perfect pairing for any cozy moment, whether you’re with loved ones or treating yourself to a quiet coffee break.
Kurumicco: Japan’s Iconic Sweet
KURUMICCO, Japan’s highly-coveted treat, is finally here! A timeless favorite from Kamakura Beniya, established in 1954, this beloved delight draws eager fans daily in Japan. The homemade caramel is stuffed full of walnuts, then wrapped in buttery dough. These three ingredients come together in delicious elegance to create the wildly popular Kamakura Beniya staple called KURUMICCO.
Made to have a definite sweetness without being too rich. Along with the superb balance of caramel and walnuts, firm dough adds the finishing touch. Enjoy it as is, or try it chilled for an even more delightful experience.
