Orangery Shingen CakeOrangery Shingen Cake is a specialty of Yamanashi Prefecture, produced by Orangeryya, a Japanese confectionery store in Dibuki City, Yamanashi.
Although it’s called Katsura Shingenbake, Katsura is not the raw material for this kind of snack, but the word Katsura is added to the store name in order to distinguish it from the Shingenbake produced in Hokuto City.
