Nagasaki Prefecture The Authentic Taste of Nagasaki Castella by ‘Shifuku no Ippin’
Nagasaki is known as the home of the Japanese castella sponge cake, and this lightly sweetened, natural-flavored castella is as authentic as it gets.

Fukuoka Prefecture Fukuoka Amaou Strawberry Jelly, ‘Ryogokochi’
With its brilliant, sparkling appearance and satisfyingly large size, Ryogokochi jelly looks delicious from the get-go. Taste-wise it does not disappoint. The perfect balance of tangy and sweet, this jelly is aptly made from top-grade Amaou, a luxury variety of strawberry widely known as the “King of Strawberries”.
Fukuoka Prefecture Mentai-Ohsaba
Saba mackerel and mentaiko pollack roe join in glorious union for this incredible seafood dish, combining fiery spiciness with a one-of-a-kind, crispy texture.
Kagoshima Prefecture Kagoshima Sweet Potato Nectar Financier
These delicious financiers achieve the perfect balance of sweetness and depth, made possible by extracting the nectar from Kagoshima’s famous orange-fleshed annou-imo sweet potatoes and combining it with salt made with deep sea water taken from Koshiki Island in Kagoshima’s Satsumasendai city.
Saga Prefecture Umakara Ariake Nori Seaweed (in a jar)

This spicy seaweed tsukudani is made by blending fresh nori laver from Ariake with an original blend of punchy, spicy seasoning. The smooth texture and deep umami taste of the nori make it the perfect topping for a bowl of fresh white rice.
Kumamoto Prefecture Brown Sugar Donut Sticks
These luxurious brown sugar donut sticks use unrefined, natural brown sugar fresh from Okinawa and high-quality Japanese wheat flour to create the ultimate sugary treat. The brown sugar crunch gives way to a melt-in-the-mouth sweetness that will transport your tastebuds to the southern isles of Japan.
