I tried eating Bunmeido's castella.

Previously, I wrote an article titled 'I want to try eating Bunmeido's castella.' ⇩

As a completely ordinary person, I was surprised at the time because it received more likes than I deserved for an article that was just about my simple desire to 'try eating castella'...

I think it was likely due to the 'trigger that made me want to try Bunmeido's castella' provided by my neighbor on Note, Kinya Okano-san's immense power in introducing the article, and the fact that there are so many castella lovers in the Note community.

Thankfully, I also received many comments, and there were even castella lovers from Nagasaki, the home of castella, who taught me about recommended castella shops in Nagasaki, which made me very excited♪

.........Despite that!!

Every time I got a craving for castella, I ended up buying the convenient pre-cut castella from the local supermarket twice, so...

I missed the timing again and again...

And I continued to race down the path of never having experienced Bunmeido's castella...! (← Fool)

However, the other day, finally...

I, Itsuki, was also able to become someone who has experienced Bunmeido's castella.

This is the one that took my first time. 🩷 ⇩ ← Stop it

A savior for Itsuki the cheapskate, who got cold feet about buying a whole loaf at gift prices—it's the snack-sized individually wrapped version ♪

The packaging alone is super cute!

A dazzling palm-sized treat in castella colors.

On the side of the package, there's a playful illustration based on the commercial, 'Castella is number one, the phone is number two, and the three o'clock snack is Bunmeido ♪'—my heart skipped a beat. ⇩

Fine-textured and springy dough with a moist mouthfeel.

Beautifully browned, fragrant crust.

Bunmeido's Castella was the 100-point perfect castella flavor that pops into Itsuki's head whenever I imagine the taste of castella.

It's not trying to be fancy; it's a somewhat nostalgic, simple taste.

This kind of thing is just right.

The one I had this time was the most orthodox type.

Honestly, this is already delicious enough.

However, it seems that Bunmeido's product lineup offers three even higher grades above this one.

Of course, the price is also top-tier.

The ingredients for Castella are just bread flour, eggs, sugar, and honey, right?

I feel the true prowess of a long-established Castella shop in how Bunmeido manages to differentiate itself using such limited ingredients.

I would love to try them side-by-side.

I wonder if someone will give me some as a New Year's gift? (← zero plans for that)

Since we're on the topic of Castella (lol) ⇩
