Azusa-do Kobayashi Sekihan Manju
'Is this really a manju!?'—that is the reaction people have to Azusa-do Kobayashi's 'Sekihan Manju.' This Shinshu specialty is a Japanese sweet consisting of chewy red bean rice (sekihan) wrapped in a slightly sweet dough. It gained significant attention after being featured on the TV program 'Himitsu no Kenmin SHOW.' In Nagano Prefecture, sekihan has long been an essential part of celebratory occasions. The idea of transforming it into a manju reflects the warmth unique to the local culture. It is carefully steamed by Azusa-do Kobayashi, which was founded in 1922. A comforting flavor where sweetness and the umami of glutinous rice overlap. Highly recommended not only for celebratory occasions but also as a quintessential Shinshu souvenir.
