What Shooken (Castella Ganso Shooken) is known for
Founded in 1681, Shooken has spent over 340 years perfecting Nagasaki castella, including the rich gosan-yaki and a chocolate-layered Chocolatte created by its eighth-generation master. Its cakes are sold across several Nagasaki and Fukuoka shops and an online store, with a cafe above the Uonomachi main store.
