Aoyagi Sohonke Kaeru Manju (Frog Manju)
With its round little eyes, it's impossible not to smile. This popular Nagoya treat, 'Kaeru Manju,' is also considered lucky due to the pun on 'Buji Kaeru' (returning safely). Created by Aoyagi Sohonke, a company founded in 1879 (Meiji 12), to commemorate its 110th anniversary, these manju are shaped like their trademark frog. The logo of a frog jumping toward a willow tree represents the spirit of perseverance embodied by Aoyagi. Smooth smooth bean paste is gently wrapped in soft castella dough, with the eyes and mouth carefully branded by artisans one by one. Seasonal varieties of bean paste also appear periodically. With its adorable appearance, it is extremely popular as a souvenir for trips or business travel. It is a Nagoya specialty manju that will make you smile the moment you pick it up.
