Izumiya "Goyoutei no Tsuki”

Sponge cake filled with fine custard cream that is well known as a specialty dessert of Nasu-Kogen Highland in Tochigi Prefecture. It is the signature product of Izumiya, a manufacturer and seller of Japanese confections and Western influenced treats in Tochigi, who has won awards at the National Confectionary Exposition, which has a history dating back to the Meiji era.

The custard cream, which is made with a particular type and amount of fresh cream, is smooth and rich. The sponge cake that surrounds the custard has a fluffy texture due to the way it is heated and mixed. When eaten at room temperature, it softly melts in your mouth, and when eaten chilled, the sponge becomes moist and makes a different texture. All the products are made at the "Okashinoshiro Nasu Heartland" in Nasu-Kogen Highland, and you can observe the production process through the glass window.
