Experience the Holidays with Grand Castella's Unique Creation

This holiday season, Grand Castella, the renowned original Taiwanese castella brand from Tamsui, Taiwan, is making waves with its latest innovation: the world's first Christmas castella, named "Snowfall Bûche de Noël Castella." Under the expert guidance of master baker Lu Taichen, this limited-edition delight promises to bring festive cheer to dessert lovers in Japan.

With a reputation for scrumptious and fluffy castella cakes, Grand Castella has continually surprised its fans with over 36 creative flavors since its inception. This year, they have decided to break the mold by presenting a holiday-themed flavor that captures the essence of winter — the Snowfall Bûche de Noël Castella. This delightful dessert features a rich buttery aroma that harmoniously combines with silky sweetness, making it a perfect treat for the festive season.

A Taste of Winter

The Snowfall Bûche de Noël Castella is not just visually stunning; it offers a unique flavor experience as well. The display of fluffy castella is lightly sweetened with condensed milk, and generously filled with a robust rich butter that melts in your mouth, evoking the sensation of snow quietly falling and leaving a gentle, lasting aftertaste. The luxurious treat is further beautified with a delicate topping of white chocolate and milk powder, reminding us of serene winter landscapes.

Available from December 1 to December 25, this seasonal indulgence comes at a price of 2,490 yen (approximately 2,689 yen including tax), making it a must-try for anyone looking to enhance their holiday celebrations.

Pop-Up Store at Lumine Omiya

In addition to the main stores located at Tokyo Skytree’s Solamachi and Yokohama Takashimaya, Grand Castella will be holding a special pop-up store at Lumine Omiya from December 3 to December 17. Following the resounding success of their previous event, which attracted long lines and daily sellouts, the brand is all set to introduce the Snowfall Bûche de Noël Castella to fans who seek to indulge in the festive spirit.

Grand Castella has solidified its status in Japan as a favorite for both sweet cravings and versatile breakfast options. Known for its attention to detail, the shop takes pride in using recipes that deliver a light and delightful texture that fans have come to adore. Each store offers not only an exquisite selection of castella but also an atmosphere that invites you to enjoy a taste of Taiwan right in the heart of Japan.
