Gion Tsujiri Co., Ltd. will relaunch its ‘Matcha Castella’, made with premium matcha, via its official online store and all six company-owned shops from Wednesday, 20 May 2026. With its aroma, colour and texture, this is a masterpiece that perfectly balances a moist and fluffy texture—a product we are proud to present to customers who have been eagerly awaiting the return of our Castella.
With its vibrant deep green colour and rich aroma, our ‘Matcha Castella’—which captures the essence of matcha—now offers an even more refined taste.
This ‘Matcha Castella’ is crafted by a long-established confectionery using traditional methods, carefully baking a cake richly infused with premium matcha meticulously selected by Gion Tsujiri. To bring out the deep green hue of the matcha, we have paid meticulous attention to every single ingredient, including the use of eggs from hens fed a diet of sweet potatoes.
Furthermore, by creating a unique blend of flours specifically suited to castella, we have achieved a satisfying texture within a light and airy mouthfeel. With every bite, a gentle sweetness spreads across the palate. The sugar content has been adjusted time and again to create a moist, lingering finish that harmonises perfectly with the rich flavour of the matcha.
Using the unique ‘bubble-removal’ technique of Nagasaki Castella, our artisans carefully refine the texture of the batter to create a delicate, beautiful cross-section and a smooth melt-in-the-mouth sensation. Each slice is a blend of the deep aroma of matcha and the skill of our artisans. The rich flavour that fills your mouth offers a moment of pure relaxation.
