Showado Kishi-do Koma Manju

These are incredibly stylish manju (steamed buns) shaped like Shogi pieces. It is said that the history of Tendo City began during the end of the Edo period when the Oda clan encouraged piece-making as a side job for impoverished vassals. Today, it is known as the 'City of Shogi,' boasting a national production share of over 90% for Shogi pieces. Showado's 'Kishi-do Koma Manju' is a product that reflects this local heritage. The name 'Kishi-do' (The Way of the Professional Player) embodies respect for Shogi, featuring soft dough wrapped around a gently sweet bean paste. Not only is it a perfect souvenir for Shogi lovers, but it is also a heartwarming manju that allows you to taste the history of Tendo and the spirit of the artisans with every bite. It is the kind of treat you'll want to snack on while gathered around a game board.
