Satsuma Jokiya Tenmonkan
restaurant
薩摩蒸氣屋 天文館店
Famous for 'Kasutadon' (custard cake) and freshly baked donuts.
Satsuma Jokiya is a long-running Kagoshima confectionery in the Tenmonkan covered arcade, known primarily for Kasutadon, a soft custard cake that splits the difference between a Western sponge and a Japanese wagashi. The shop also bakes fresh donuts throughout the day, which sell quickly. The presentation is tidy and the packaging is designed to travel, making it a sensible souvenir stop after exploring the arcade. Quality has been consistent enough over the years to earn it a reliable local following.
