Vitamin Castella

Delicious sponge cake with the best crumbly texture.

Vitamin Castella” made by Takahashi Seika Co., Ltd. is famous as Hokkaido’s soul food. This is because “Vitamin Castella” has been a part of Hokkaido’s pioneering history.

The prototype of Vitamin Castella, called “stick Castella,” was created in 1921, and around 1950, vitamins B1 and B2 were added and the product name was changed to “Vitamin Castella”. In the postwar period, when many people struggled to procure food, the Castella dough was filled with vitamin nutrients and sold at a low price, making it a very popular snack for working people.

Although they have a strong socially beneficial character, the reason they have become such a stalwart is because they are delicious.I have been eating them for a long time, and I like them so much that I buy them whenever I see them in stores in Tokyo.

And the most important characteristic of Vitamin Castella is its crumbly!

Many people may not have a good image of a crumbly texture, but Vitamin Castella’s crumbly texture is the best. The texture is crispy in the mouth despite the elasticity of the sponge cake dough. It is as if you are eating a crispy sponge cake!

The taste is so good that you can tell it has been loved for a long time. If you give it to someone who has never had it, they will be very pleased. Milk and coffee go great with it. This sponge cake is sure to remain an eternal staple of Hokkaido.
