News, Press release

As a company that manufactures and sells sweets, Okashigoten aims to contribute to the SDGs, which are the sustainable goals of the world, by continuing to provide delicious sweets to customers.

The Ganso Beni-imo Tart, which has been established as a souvenir from Okinawa Prefecture, currently purchases Beni-imo directly from more than 140 Beni-imo farmers. We are working on regional revitalization by promoting agriculture, commerce and industry collaboration.

This time, we would like to contribute to the local community and contribute to the SDGs by making sweets ordered from local Okinawan ingredients instead of souvenirs and having people all over the country eat them and let them know about the goodness of Okinawa. We have decided to develop and sell “Okinawa Freshly Picked Acerola Cheesecake”.

Acerola full of the blessings of the sun

Acerola (Acerola) is an evergreen shrub that is native to the Caribbean West Indies, northern South America and Central America.When ripe, the fruits are bright red, 2 to 3 centimeters in diameter and shaped like cherries.

Raw acerola is rarely found on the market because the skin is thin and lasts only 2-3 days.

Although it is a small acerola, it contains the number one vitamin C among fruits and is a fruit with excellent nutrients. Vitamin C per 100g is about 34 times that of lemons.

Other nutrients such as vitamin E, beta-carotene, folic acid and copper.Polyphenols (anthocyanins), which have antioxidant properties, are also attracting attention.

It is a special product of Okinawa and is produced in Motobu Town in the northern part of the main island.

A cake that takes advantage of the acerola acidity

I wanted to make a cake that takes advantage of the unique sourness of acerola, so I made a cheesecake that goes well with it.In addition, by adding manuka honey, the acerola and cheese will be more united, and the rich aroma will spread in your mouth, complementing the deliciousness.

Each of them can be eaten alone, but I made it so that it tastes best when eaten together with acerola gelée, cheesecake, and honey mousse.Please enjoy the taste of the trinity.

ThisCheesecake made with soft ingredients

The cheesecake uses premium French cream cheese and is hand-made to make it smooth.The batter is made with a lot of meringue, giving it a fluffy and gentle texture.

It is carefully and slowly baked in a 160°C oven in a hot water bath to create a moist cheesecake.

A honey mousse made by combining the same cream cheese as the cake and high-quality Italian mascarpone cheese is squeezed onto the cheesecake base.

Cream cheese brings out richness, but it also has a sour taste, so I adjusted it so that the mellow taste of mascarpone cheese is just right.

The texture is lighter than baked cheesecake, and it is finished in a rich cheesecake that is firmer than soufflé cheesecake.The carefully selected eggs have a strong meringue rise, making the dough firm and satisfying.

The sweet and rich aroma of Okinawan vanilla beans spreads throughout your mouth.

A fun-looking cake that was commercialized based on the voices of SNS

The Okinawan freshly picked acerola cheesecake is based on the image of energetic bees playing in the acerola fields in the mountains of Motobu Town.

The design is based on the official Okashigoten Instagram account (@okashigoten) conducted a public survey before the release of the followers.We have commercialized it based on the results of the questionnaire and the opinions we received.

Pioneer of Domestic Acerola, Acerola Fresh Acerola

In order to use freshly picked acerola, the company is a pioneer of domestic acerola, which has its head office in Motobucho in the northern part of Okinawa Prefecture, which boasts the largest number of shipments in Japan, and is spreading the appeal of acerola from Okinawa to the whole country. We use Acerola Fresh's discerning acerola.

Rare domestic vanilla, vanilla beans from Yomitan Village

Rare vanilla from Yomitan Village, Okinawa Actually, most of the vanilla in Japan is imported.We use vanilla from Okinawa Yomitan Village, which produces such rare domestic vanilla.We used vanilla, which is organically cultivated without pesticides, to create a flavorful cheesecake.

Cage-free eggs from Yomitan village perfect for making sweets

Cage-free eggs from Yomitan Village, Okinawa Prefecture Cage-free is a breeding method in which chickens are kept free-range and released on the ground.In addition, the eggs are made from healthy chickens that have been fed a special diet containing pyroligneous acid, seaweed, mugwort, and good bacteria, so they have a strong sweetness, richness, and no fishy odor, making them ideal for sweets. I am using.

It comes in a gift box, so it is also recommended as a gift.
