Horaku Manju
A famous Kobe confection with a heartwarming origin: providing relief for wounded soldiers. It is produced by Horakudo, founded in Kobe in 1923. Legend has it that the wives of officers from the Russo-Japanese War began selling them to aid wounded veterans. The elegant sweetness of the bean paste, a secret recipe passed down since the company's founding, harmonizes perfectly with the fragrant crust baked on a horaku (clay oven). With its fluffy crust and smooth filling, its simple yet profound flavor quietly evokes 100 years of history. Each manju is carefully baked with care. It is an item we highly recommend choosing as a souvenir from Kobe.
