Akihodo Castella Manju
A Hamamatsu specialty, these Castella Manju consist of white bean paste wrapped in fluffy castella sponge cake. Produced by Akihodo, this treat was once long loved by locals as 'Matsubishi Manju' within the Matsubishi Department Store. Following the closure of the department store, the shop moved in 2002, renamed itself 'Castella Manju,' and made a fresh comeback. Smooth white bean paste made from white kidney beans is wrapped plumply in moist, gentle castella dough. While not flashy, it offers a simple sweetness that provides comfort with every bite. For the people of Hamamatsu, it is a flavor filled with nostalgia. Please enjoy it when you want to take a break with some warm tea.
