Yamanaka Ishikawa-ya Musume-musume Manju
A specialty manju from Yamanaka Ishikawa-ya, which has continued its tradition in Yamanaka Onsen, part of the Kaga Hot Spring region, since 1905. The name 'Musume-musume' comes from 'Nyaa-nyaa,' a Kaga dialect word meaning 'young lady.' Legend has it that the origin lies in a suggestion from the former owner of a local long-established inn to 'create something under the name Musume-musume.' The smooth red bean paste, subtly scented with brown sugar and local miso, is shaped into an oval like a gold coin for easy, single-bite enjoyment. Smooth red bean paste (koshian) was chosen over chunky paste (tsubuan) to represent the elegance of Kaga beauties. Its mellow, lightly sweet taste makes it hard to stop at just one. Perfect as a treat after a soak in Yamanaka Onsen or as a souvenir. Please give it a taste.
