Nanxin Food Shop Introduction
Established in 1953, Jia Xiang Wei has been a beloved establishment in Chiayi for over half a century. Using carefully selected fresh ingredients, it crafts nutritious and delicious treats, inheriting the confectionery skills learned from the Japanese during the colonial period by the founder's father. From the original yokan to steamed buns, snowflake cakes, sweet potatoes, and innovative square pastries, each item reflects a commitment to quality. Among them, the retro-tasting Nanxin Snowflake Cake is made with premium butter as the filling, available in lemon and pineapple flavors. Sprinkled with a layer of powdered sugar, it resembles snowflakes, hence its name. Soft and fluffy, it melts in your mouth and can even be frozen in the summer for a taste similar to ice cream cake. This is a delightful treat that has been loved for 60 years in Chiayi. Recommended gift: Nanxin Snowflake Cake.
