Sponge cake filled with the kindness of Mr. Goto
The scene where Mr. Goto offers a sponge cake to Sumijiro in hopes that he will recover.
Do you all remember it?
Why Castella? What kind of food was sponge cake back then?
By digging deeper into Castella, you can feel Goto-san's love for the "main character," who is now a trending topic on X (formerly Twitter) after each broadcast!
appearance scene (e.g. in a movie, television program, etc.)
The scene where Mr. Goto offers sponge cakes to Sumijiro is from the first episode of "The Village of the Sword Forge.
I bought it for Sumijiro, who had not regained consciousness since the battle in the "Yugaku-hen."
I thought that Sumijiro, who has a good nose, would be awakened by the smell of sponge cake, a luxury confectionery. I thought that he would be awakened by the smell of the high-quality sponge cake.
In fact, Sumijiro regained consciousness just before Goto-san's visit.
Surprised that Sumijiro was awake, Goto-san dropped the entire plate of sponge cake on the bed.
At that time, one of the four slices fell on the floor.
It's a waste of a fine pastry and sponge cake. ......
How expensive was sponge cake back then?
History of Castella
Toward the end of the Muromachi Period, the Portuguese visited the newly opened port of Nagasaki.
Their baked sweets were introduced to Japan and developed into a uniquely Japanese confectionery called Castella.
It was already a Japanese confectionery in the mid-Edo period, and was even served at Edo Castle to entertain foreign envoys.
Oni no stage: The price of sponge cakes in the Taisho Era
It is considered that Oni no Kai takes place in the early Taisho period.
At that time, sponge cakes were an expensive confectionary that was out of reach of the common man, costing about one-third of a person's starting salary.
From the Edo period to the prewar period, it was sometimes fed to tuberculosis patients as a highly nourishing food.
Who is Mr. Goto who can present luxury goods?
Goto-san is a member of the "hidden" (kakushi) unit, a unit that does not engage in combat but is in charge of post-combat processing.
Although he is only 23 years old, it is assumed that he has had a reasonably long career in the Onikagitai, as he is depicted giving instructions to other members of the unit.
According to the official fan book, the starting salary for the Onikagitai is 200,000 yen in today's prices.
It would be about the same as the starting salary in a typical company.
Based on Goto-san's career, it is likely that he is receiving a little more.
Even so, giving away 60-70,000 yen worth of candy in our current sense of the word is a very manly thing to do.
In summary: Goto-san is so kind!
Mr. Goto wished Sumijiro's recovery, and offered him a high-end pastry, Castella.
It shows Goto-san's respect for the front line troops and his concern for Sumijiro as an individual.
Goto-san ...... is too nice ......!
The anime "Blade of Demons" finally reaches its final battle.
Let's look forward to great things to come from the beloved mob, Goto-san!
Come to think of it, there was a scene like that.
Huh? But was sponge cake that expensive?
