Castella and Mr. Bunmeido
Castella was introduced to the Spanish "Sweets of the Kingdom of Castilian" and was introduced to Nagasaki, which was thriving as a port of Nanban trade in the 16th century.
Bunmeido was founded in Nagasaki, Kyushu in 1900.
As you all know, Nagasaki prospered as the only trading port with Western Europe during the Edo period when Japan was isolated.
Bunmeido spread castella grown in Nagasaki from Portugal, Spain, as Japanese sweets.
Confectionery made with scrutinized materials and the skills of skilled craftsmen.
Mr. Bunmeido will deliver the deliciousness created from it with sincerity.
It is Bunmeido's desire to add color to the moment of relaxation, which has been handed down since its founding.
Everything is for the customer's smile. I will continue to do this.
