Ganso Harimaya Salted Manju
With one bite, an elegant sweetness is followed by a subtle hint of saltiness. This is a prestigious Banshu confection, the original salted manju passed down in Harima, maintained by a long-established shop founded in 1764. It is said that in 1849, the head of the house was moved by the beautiful semicircular sunset sinking into the sea of Ako, leading to the creation of this sweet using pure white Ako salt, white sugar, and kanbai (winter plum) flour. Eventually, their proven skill was recognized, and the shop rose to become the official confectioner for the Ako Clan. An exquisite harmony of sweetness and saltiness unique to Ako, a famous salt-producing region. With a soft crust reminiscent of rakugan and smooth red bean paste, it is the perfect accompaniment to tea.
