Castella
or
Kasutera (カ ス テ
ラ?)
Is a Japanese sponge cake, rectangular made from sugar, egg, wheat flour, and
mizuame (liquid sugar from starch). Castella is famous as a typical Nagasaki
cake, although most likely originated in Spain, and brought to Japan by
Portuguese missionaries in the 16th century.
The name
"Castella" comes from the Portuguese pão de Castella (bread from the
Castilla region). Castella is generally sold in rectangular shaped boxes, and
is called castella bars (sao castella). In addition, baby castella (mini-sized
castella with a variety of popular anime characters) is sold on foot in
matsuri.
