Hakone Specialty: Kunosuke Sake Manju
A slightly humorous name that carries stories of the old Hakone highway. 'Kunosuke' refers to the porters who once carried travelers' luggage along the highway. They are figures that reflect the local history, having supported travelers navigating the steep mountain passes of Hakone. This sake manju (steamed bun), bearing that name, is a simple steamed confection consisting of smooth red bean paste wrapped in dough with a subtle hint of sake aroma. It is a beloved local specialty that allows you to savor a taste while reminiscing about the arduous journeys of travelers crossing Hakone in the past. Enjoy the faint scent of sake drifting from the fluffy dough. Why not pair it with tea while immersing yourself in the mood of a traveler walking the old highway? This item also serves as a great conversation starter for Hakone souvenirs.
