The Tanuki from Ponpoko Hill has become a souvenir! Castella Manju
A unique Castella manju inspired by the legend of the 'Bunbuku Chagama' (the tea kettle tanuki) passed down at Morin-ji Temple in Tatebayashi. The long and charming product name has an impact that makes you want to pick it up. Shaped like a tanuki with the word 'Ponpoko' engraved on its belly, it is filled generously with white bean paste. The fluffy dough has a flavor close to Ningyo-yaki, making it a friendly treat for both children and adults. Morin-ji Temple is known nationwide as the temple associated with the fairy tale 'Bunbuku Chagama,' and many tanuki statues line its grounds. A sweet filled with the stories of Tatebayashi that will make you smile through both its appearance and name. It is a fun Gunma souvenir that serves as a great conversation starter for your travel stories.
