🎌 Matsubara Seika "SATA ANDAGI (Sata Andagi)"

Sugar is added to the flour and eggs to make the sweet doughnuts, which are then deep-fried to create "SATA ANDAGI (沙翁)." This is a traditional snack made by Okinawan families since ancient times. The outer layer is crispy while the inside is moist. The firm texture gives it a very elastic bite. Unlike doughnuts, it does not contain milk or water but instead uses a large amount of eggs. It is deep-fried at a low temperature, allowing the heat to penetrate the inside, which is one of its notable features, enabling it to be preserved for about a week.
