📖 More about the product
What is Castella?
Castella (Japanese: カステラ) is a traditional sponge cake that originally came to Japan from Portugal and is particularly popular in the Nagasaki region. It is characterized by its airy texture, fine sweetness and golden crust - a classic of Japanese tea culture.
Why Uji Matcha?
Uji Matcha comes from the Uji region near Kyoto - Japan's most famous matcha growing region. The finely ground green tea gives the Castella a noble, slightly bitter note that harmonizes perfectly with the sweetness of the dough. The chlorella it contains also intensifies the green color naturally.
Premium quality for special occasions
The SAKURA Castella Uji Matcha is more than just a cake – it is a small piece of Japanese food culture. Whether as a souvenir, gift or for a stylish tea ceremony - this cake brings enjoyment and elegance together.
