I occasionally stop by Fukusaya for gifts. Their specialty is a Castella cake that is not too sweet, perfect for adults. I recently bought one for myself and it is still delicious. It goes really well with coffee.

I received a cube with two pieces, with sugar crystals on the bottom. The amount of sugar crystals is just right and not bothersome. The castella cake has a strong egg flavor, sweet but not too overwhelming. It is rich but easy to eat, and goes well with coffee. It was tastier than I expected, and the price for one piece is not expensive at all, so I will buy the single pieces next time.

I have mostly bought whole castella cakes before, but I was drawn to the Cube series because it seemed easy to share among multiple people and easy to store if not eaten all at once. I purchased a pack of 5 for around 1500 yen, with 2 slices in each pack.

The Castella cake in the box was a gift, while the small cube was bought by myself. I have always liked Castella, it has been a classic gift for when someone is sick. Especially the Castella from Fukusaya, with sugar crystals at the bottom that are crunchy and sweet, it's delicious. I finished a large box in one go, it's just so tasty. So I bought a small cube for myself as well. Just the right size for a cup of coffee. Fukusaya Castella, established in the first year of Kan'ei in 1624. The characteristic is the sugar crystals at the bottom. Soft, moist, and crunchy at the bottom with sugar crystals, the contrast in texture is addictive. The sugar crystals are not sprinkled on top of the batter, but are mixed in and some are left at the bottom during the stirring process. This traditional handmade method has been passed down for centuries. It must have been considered a heavenly sweet by people hundreds of years ago. In addition to Fukusaya, there are other types of Castella such as Gosen-yaki made with only egg whites, Shirokiku made with only egg yolks, and Kikukiku. Gosen-yaki is available in stores but is expensive, so I haven't bought it yet. Shirokiku and Kikukiku, I wonder if they are still available?

In February 2022, I received a castella cake from Fukusaya. I usually only buy Fukusaya cubes as souvenirs when I visit Nagasaki, so it was a nice change to receive a basic castella cake as a gift. In Osaka, most castella cakes received as gifts are from "Ginsou." I would love to try Dutch cake or Okinawa limited edition castella cakes as well. I immediately tried the castella cake I received, and the fluffy and moist texture, along with the crunchy sugar on the bottom, was just perfect. I have had this cake many times before, and it never fails to impress me. Thank you for the delicious treat!

The characteristic of Nagasaki's Fukusaya Castella is the "Zarame" that remains undissolved at the bottom of the castella. The castella cake itself is firm and not too fluffy. You can feel the traditional commitment of this long-established store through its unchanged texture. Eating it again after a long time, I was able to immerse myself in its nostalgic taste. Thank you for the meal.

Fukusaya is known for having the most delicious castella cake. Although they have many locations, this was my first time trying it. We got a large pack of 10 slices to share with my family. It was fluffy and moist, with the perfect sweetness from the eggs. It truly embodied the essence of castella cake. While other brands like Kurofune and Nisshin are also good, Fukusaya is a classic choice. The crunchy sweetness of the sugar coating was delicious.

I have always loved Fukusaya's castella. I occasionally buy it at the department store, one slice, two slices, three slices... and I just keep eating it. It's moist, sweet, and the crunchy sugar on the bottom is irresistible. Lately, I often give Fukusaya's cute cube-shaped castella as a gift to my friends.

Visited in January 2020 with a rating of 3.07 on Tabelog (22 reviews). I received a castella cake from Fukusaya as a souvenir! I just had this castella recently, but I'm always happy to receive it again. Once again, no one in my family showed any interest, so I'll be eating it all by myself! The cake has a moist and soft texture with a nice crunchy texture from the sugar on top. It's surprisingly not too sweet, so I can eat it quickly. I really like this balanced type of castella. Thank you for the meal.

Everyone must have one or two favorite sweets, right? Castella is one of my favorite sweets. I especially love the classic castella with a strong eggy flavor and a layer of sugar on top. One day, I had some free time so I wandered around the sweets section at Hankyu Department Store. As expected of a department store in Osaka, there were famous shops from all over the country lined up. It was so enjoyable just looking at them! Among them, one that really caught my eye was the castella from Fukusaya. I decided to buy the classic version. The "Small Cut 0.6" (1188 yen) was undeniably delicious. It's a flavor that everyone loves, I think. Oh, happiness. In addition to the classic castella, they also had Dutch cake, special Goso-yaki castella, handmade mochi, Fukusaya cubes, and more, all of which looked delicious. The special Goso-yaki castella that caught my attention is a castella with a richer and more intense flavor, made by using more sugar, double sugar, and eggs, and less flour, a castella that only skilled artisans can make. The "Goso" in Goso-yaki refers to using 5 egg yolks to 3 egg whites. It's priced at a whopping 2916 yen per piece, but unfortunately, it was sold out when I went. I'm thinking of splurging a bit next time to buy this special Goso-yaki castella.

Located near Umeda Station on various train lines. I browsed for snacks at the Hankyu Umeda Main Store basement floor. This place specializes in castella cakes, with a wide variety of sizes on display. I purchased the Fukusaya Cube and tried it out. The cake comes in a small square box with two slices inside. It's moist and fluffy, with a gentle egg flavor. I appreciated the addition of a fork even though the size is small. The texture of the sugar on the bottom was a nice touch for me. Overall, it was a satisfying treat! The price range is wide, making it relatively easy to choose from the selection of products.

The souvenir was delicious!

I received a cute cube-shaped castella for my birthday. I didn't know there was castella in this shape - very impressive from the long-established Fukusaya. Castella is delicious. The shape seems to be popular with girls. Personally, I prefer a slightly larger size (laughs). Thank you for the meal.

Founded in 1624, the long-established Nagasaki castella shop "Fukusaya" offers a unique twist on castella. The "Dutch Cake" features cocoa, walnuts, and raisins, giving it a different appearance and flavor compared to traditional castella. With a less sweet taste and a perfect balance of cocoa, walnuts, and raisins, even those who are not fans of castella will enjoy this treat. Fukusaya products are made without any honey, making them safe for infants as well. "I enjoyed this slightly more mature Dutch Cake. Thank you for the delicious treat."

My husband and I went shopping together, and he bought me Fukusaya Castella as per my request. I asked for the 0.6 size, but my husband recommended the 1 size, so I happily went for the bigger one. A slice of it is quite large and satisfying on its own. The texture is moist, and the sugar coating is delicious. Every time I eat it, I think this Castella is my favorite. I also tried the Tokusen Go-san-yaki before, but it didn't impress me as much as this normal Castella.

Nagasaki Castella... continued... On this day, I went to Osaka city to go to Billboard Live Osaka for a concert. The concert was on a Sunday and ended early, around 6pm. I decided to take my time and visit the department store basement as I hadn't been to Hankyu Umeda store in a while. The store was crowded with lots of people, even though it was a holiday. I could hear people speaking languages other than Japanese loudly. Wow, is it another shopping spree happening here too... First, I went to look at sweets, but it was difficult to walk through the crowded aisles!! As I passed by Fukusaya, I noticed their popular "Cube" cakes were still available. I was surprised because they are usually sold out by this time. I decided to ask the staff about it. "Does this come with the contents inside? Or is it just the packaging?" The staff replied, "A customer canceled their order, but the contents are inside." So, I bought all five that were left. The staff was happy to sell the canceled items, and I was happy to finally get them after a long time!! I got them packed and took them home. At home, I took photos as usual and tried them. The packaging is in a cube shape, with five different colors. Inside the box were two slices of castella cake cut into pieces. The color of the castella cake is a deep yellow, almost orange. The texture is moist and chewy. There is also caramelized sugar at the bottom, which is a nice touch. For those who don't like caramelized sugar, I can't understand their taste haha. When I tasted it, it had a rich flavor with a strong sweetness but still elegant. The sweetness is natural and doesn't linger afterwards. Truly a different taste from Fukusaya. It's delicious!! It's usually hard to eat a whole castella cake at once, but with this packaging, you can eat as much as you want, which is a great idea. I highly recommend it. 2015.07 on Tabelog with a rating of 3.13 points.

On the way home from work on Friday, I decided to stop by Fukusaya at Hankyu Department Store in Umeda to buy a souvenir for my family. I haven't had Fukusaya's castella in a while, so I decided to splurge a little and bought a 0.6 size castella for 1,188 yen (tax included). It's a bit narrower than the full-size version, but perfect for home use. If they sold just the crust, that would be fine too (laughs). When I got home, I made a delicious cup of coffee and enjoyed the castella. It's delicious! The deep yellow color of the cake is appealing. It's moist and fluffy, with a nice texture. There is some coarse sugar on the bottom, which adds a nice crunchy texture. The sweetness of the cake and sugar pairs well with black coffee. I bet it would be even better with milk. The pre-cut slices make it easy to enjoy without any hassle. While I enjoy a cream-filled shortcake, savoring a slice of high-quality castella also brings a sense of happiness. This traditional castella from the early Edo period was a delight to savor. The packaging is also done with care, and it can last for about a week, making it a great gift option. Thank you for the delicious treat.

During the New Year, the dining table tends to be more luxurious than usual, right? Today, I would like to introduce a special Castella cake that you would want to eat on special occasions. It is from the well-known Castella shop "Fukusaya". The regular Castella is delicious, but I heard about a limited edition special item that is quite tasty, so I decided to try it out. I purchased the "Special Goso-yaki Castella" (2520 yen) at Hankyu Department Store in Umeda. It is also available at Hanshin Department Store, but it was sold out there, so I bought it at Hankyu. In addition to the familiar yellow Fukusaya paper bag, they also provided a special red paper bag for the Goso-yaki Castella. Opening the red wrapping... and further opening it... finally, the Castella appears. It is so soft that you don't even need a knife to cut it. It is made with more eggs and sugar than regular Castella, so the color is darker. It is moist, fluffy, and generously topped with caramelized sugar. This is truly a luxurious Castella. It is delicious - Bon appétit! How about using it as a special treat or gift? [Shop Information] Fukusaya 3-1 Funakogimachi, Nagasaki City, Nagasaki Prefecture *Located in department stores.
