What is it?
Hagi no Tsuki is Kasho Sanzen's round Sendai confection: mellow custard cream enclosed in a pale-yellow, airy castella-style sponge. Its soft moonlike shape and gentle egg-and-custard flavor define the product.
It is a trademarked confection, not a generic cake name. A cut piece reveals a broad core of smooth custard surrounded by a thin layer of sponge.
History and local context
The name evokes a full moon over Miyagino, where bush clover, or hagi, blooms. The maker describes it as original custard generously wrapped in soft castella.
Kasho Sanzen also identifies Hagi no Tsuki as an early confectionery use of an oxygen absorber, helping establish it as a room-temperature Sendai travel gift. Current storage and best-before instructions on the package take priority.
How to enjoy it
Try it first at room temperature for the softest sponge and custard, or chill it lightly for a firmer filling. It pairs with Japanese tea, black tea, or coffee.
Look for it at Sendai Station, Sendai Airport, department stores, official shops, and the maker's online store. Confirm that Kasho Sanzen is the maker and check egg, wheat, and dairy allergen information.
This is a branded commercial confection; compare the maker and authorized seller when purchasing.
