Why are we doing?

Auto-translated
Show original
The reason Sangen-an is committed to castella making is because we want to truly pass on the deliciousness of 'honmamon' to the next generation, in Fushimi, Kyoto, a place rich in history and culture. Kyoto has a history of over 1,200 years, and to satisfy the discerning city residents, artisans have honed their skills every day. Born from this tradition, Sangen-an is not just about making sweets; it carefully discerns the state of ingredients that change with the seasons and subtly adjusts them with the artisan's touch, pursuing flavors that machines can never replicate.
　
The reason for launching the brand was the strong belief that current CEO Yoshimasa Yamada held a strong belief that "because these sweets become part of our customers' bodies, we want to promise safety and security." Even in today's world, where mass production and efficiency are advancing, we aim to deliver sweets that are suitable for family gatherings and gifts for loved ones by directly engaging with the origins and producers of ingredients, and by focusing on natural ingredients that can be safely enjoyed by everyone from children to the elderly.
　
What Sangen-an aims to achieve is not just deliciousness, but a memorable taste that stays in the hearts of those who eat it. It is a deep, nostalgic yet fresh surprise unique to Kyoto. Sangenan's castella is crafted with exquisite handcrafts, blended to maximize the natural flavors of the ingredients, and above all, pursues natural deliciousness that can be safely given to children.
　
Going forward, we will continue to preserve tradition while flexibly adapting to changing times, sharing the "deliciousness shining golden" from Kyoto and Fushimi to the nation and the world.

What are we doing?

At Sangen-an, we create castella by hand using carefully selected domestic ingredients and craftsmanship in a land nurtured by the rich waters and history of Fushimi, Kyoto. Our worldview is "the safety of natural materials" and "the pinnacle of craftsmanship." To achieve this, we are thoroughly particular about material selection first. The wheat flour used is domestically produced in Mie Prefecture, bringing out the wheat's natural toasty aroma and chewy texture. The eggs are carefully selected fresh and raised in Kyotanba's rich natural environment, carefully raised from the feed source. Furthermore, we directly communicate with local producers such as Tanba black soybeans, Tanba Dainagon adzuki beans, matcha from Uji in Kyoto, and yuzu from Ehime, using only safe and reliable ingredients.
　
In the product manufacturing process, artisans feel the moisture content and condition of the materials change with the seasons and subtly adjust them each time. The searing is done with perfect heat, as if the center of the castella is visible through, resulting in a moist texture and a beautiful golden finish. No leavening agents or preservatives are used, prioritizing the natural flavor of the ingredients.
　
From the perspective of the SDGs, we actively utilize locally sourced materials and collaborate with local producers to pursue sustainable manufacturing. We also focus on OEM and original product development, collaborating with diverse partners such as restaurants, tourist facilities, and department stores to broaden the world of Sangen-an. While preserving tradition, our mission is to deliver safe, secure, and delicious castella with the flexibility to meet modern needs and social issues.

Commitment to the product

Sangenan's products are all masterpieces that showcase excellent ingredients and craftsmanship, but the three main items—Castella, Roll Castella, and Soft-Boiled Castella—symbolize our shop's dedication.
　
First, "[Nihonbashi Haibara Chiyo Paper Box Included] Luxurious Castella with Chestnuts and Butteris a luxurious castella like never before, featuring a fragrant batter lavishly kneaded with premium Hokkaido butter, generously sprinkled with fluffy 'candied chestnuts with astringent skin.' Additionally, it is gently aromated with shochu, and with just one sip, a rich aroma and refined sweetness spread throughout—truly a masterpiece for adults. The outer box uses a special decorative box made from beautiful Chiyogami paper from Haibara, a Japanese paper shop in Nihonbashi, Tokyo, with a history of over 200 years, exuding a premium feel.
　
Next,Tanba Black Soybean Roll Castellais a luxurious roll castella made by hand-rolling each roll of the candied premium 'Tanba Black Soybeans,' carefully baked by artisans in castella dough. The rich richness and refined sweetness of the large, plump black beans further enhance the original deliciousness of the castella.
　
Next,Soft-Boiled Castella PlainThis is a melt-in-your-mouth texture that overturns the traditional image of castella, as if custard has been baked straight into the oven. You can enjoy the luxurious contrast of texture as the rich, soft-baked cream bursts out from the fluffy outer dough. It is made with an extremely simple ingredient: no heavy cream or butter or other fats, just a small amount of flour, plenty of sugar, and eggs.
　
All products pride themselves on natural deliciousness that brings out the natural flavors of the ingredients and is crafted with artisanal skills, making them 'safe to give to children.' Many customers have commented, "The moistness is different from others" and "You can really taste the flavor of the ingredients."
