Thin-crust Dadacha Mame Manju
Despite its small size, this manju (sweet bun) has a truly impactful presence. It features bite-sized pieces of dadacha mame bean paste wrapped in an incredibly thin skin. Dadacha beans are a traditional variety of edamame passed down in Tsuruoka since the Edo period; they are considered a masterpiece of edamame, known for spreading a unique corn-like aroma when boiled and increasing in sweetness with every bite. Because the skin is so thin, that rich flavor is conveyed directly to your palate. While there are many types of dadacha mame sweets, this manju style is particularly beloved by wagashi (Japanese confectionery) enthusiasts. It has a gentle flavor that makes you want to reach for one more piece alongside your tea. This is a signature confection that tightly encapsulates the bounties of summer in Tsuruoka.
