[ Taste: 5.0 Value: 4.0 Volume: 4.0 Design: 5.0 Portability: 4.0 Shelf life: 3.0 ]

A fragrant kasutera (castella sponge cake) with a deep, vivid yellow from its eggs. It travels well and its shelf life is not much of a concern, so it is often requested by friends on Honshu (Japan's main island) and is a souvenir you can give with confidence.

What Japanese buyers say

The one reviewer says Morimoto's castella is easy to carry, has no shelf-life worries and is often requested by friends in Honshu. The plain and honey versions both have a deep yellow color and aroma from quality eggs, a gift they offer with confidence.
