Sweet bean paste, made from specially selected azuki beans, is wrapped in a moist castella sponge cake and baked to create Tsurigane Manju. Created at a time when bananas were considered luxury products, the playful Nadai Basho banana castella imitate not only the shape of a banana, but also its flavor. The nostalgic Bite-sized Castella, made with the best batter and baked into little bell shapes, has tasted and looked the same for over a hundred years.
