Yabusame Manju (Yabusame Confectionery Shop)
A warrior in full armor releases an arrow while galloping on horseback—. This manju is inspired by the heroic Yabusame of Soma Nomaoi. Soma Nomaoi is said to have a history of over a thousand years, originating when Taira no Masakado, the ancestor of the Soma clan, released wild horses in Shimosa Province to conduct military training by simulating enemy soldiers. Designated as a National Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property in 1952, it is widely known as a sacred ritual that heralds the summer festivals of Tohoku. This Japanese sweet, featuring simple dough and bean paste, embodies the pride of a millennium-old festival. It is a unique Soma specialty that you can enjoy while recalling the passion of the mounted warriors racing across the fields.
