Saikatei Kuroto Manju Taroji

A moist brown sugar manju (steamed bun) infused with the owner's wish for longevity. This confection is crafted by Saikatei, a confectionery shop known for the famous Niigata sweet 'Kasen Sui'. This manju was created to commemorate the 100th birthday of Taroji-san, the owner of Saikatei's predecessor, 'Fukujudo'. The family's wish for him to 'live a long and healthy life' is embedded in both its name and flavor. The thin skin boasts a moist texture that almost clings to your lips. Inside, it is generously filled with brown sugar-flavored bean paste. The rich sweetness of the brown sugar blends with the soft skin, creating a flavor that satisfies the soul in a single bite. It is perfect with tea and makes a wonderful gift for the elderly. Knowing its heartwarming story makes this treat taste even more delicious.
