Our Adventures in Japan: echigoya tareido

Wednesday, March 17, 2021

When we were in Kyoto, we received this castella from SIL.

I did not know about Echigoya Tareido.

Apparently they have been in business since the end of the Edo period!

Love the package!

Since we could not eat all of it before the expiration date, I sliced it and then wrapped each slice in plastic wrap and stuck it into the freezer.

Love how quickly the castella defrosts, only about 30 seconds in the microwave.

Thanks SIL!
