Mushagaeshi is a refined Japanese pastry from Kumamoto, named after the majestic stone walls of Kumamoto Castle.

This elegant confection features a mellow red bean filling made by carefully peeling azuki skins before slow-kneading into a smooth paste. The delicate puff pastry, folded over 100 times by hand, is rich with the aroma of butter and bakes to a crisp, golden finish.
