Mochitora Mitsuhide Manju

This manju (steamed bun) is associated with the Sengoku warlord Akechi Mitsuhide and features a branded bellflower crest. Produced by 'Mochitora,' a Japanese confectionery shop along the Shirakawa River in Kyoto, the 'Mitsuhide Manju' was created from the desire to provide something for visitors to take home when visiting Mitsuhide's grave mound. The surface is imprinted with the bellflower crest, Mitsuhide's family emblem. There are two varieties: smooth red bean paste wrapped in brown sugar dough, and miso paste wrapped in matcha dough, allowing you to enjoy the characteristic flavor of Kyoto's white miso. Comparing the two different flavors is one of the joys of this manju. An ideal souvenir for history lovers or a companion while strolling through Higashiyama. Please enjoy it while reflecting on the era of the warring states.
