The origins of Shirose Sohonke date all the way back to 1349. It is said that the founder, Join Hayashi, traveled from China to Japan and created bean-filled manju by sweetening adzuki beans for monks who could not eat meat. This was reportedly the first sweet bean paste in Japan. Eventually, these manju were presented to the Imperial Court and were highly regarded by Ashikaga Yoshimasa and Tokugawa Ieyasu. It is said that Yoshimasa even bestowed a sign calling it the "Number One Manju Shop in Japan." A true progenitor of manju, passed down for over six hundred years. An item you can savor deeply along with its long history.
