JR West and Fukutomi Release Hakata Castella and Doctor Yellow Collaboration Product
JR West and Fukutomi have released a collaboration product featuring Hakata Castella and Doctor Yellow.
JR West and the city of Kasuga in Fukuoka Prefecture entered into a comprehensive partnership agreement in May 2023, focusing on community development by leveraging the Hakata General Vehicle Center. Therefore, they have collaborated with Fukutomi, which is headquartered in Kasuga and is committed to preserving traditional flavors. They’ve crafted a gentler-tasting Hakata Castella using milk and fermented butter.
The product had an initial release on October 15 in all Fukutomi stores, and from October 16, it is available at the Hakata Souvenir Main Store and Hakata Souvenir Highway. Starting December 1, it will also be listed for hometown tax contributions in Kasuga. The pricing is 1,300 yen (tax included) for a box of 6 pieces, and 200 yen (tax included) for individual sales.
