Rahotsu Manju
If you look closely at the head of the Great Buddha in Nara, you will see many spiral-shaped curls. These are called 'Rahotsu' and are considered a symbol of wisdom. Nara Shorak's 'Rahotsu Manju' is modeled after these spiral curls. This is a Karinto-style manju, where bean paste is wrapped in high-quality brown sugar dough and deep-fried in rice oil, creating an enjoyable contrast between the crispy exterior and the moist, sweet interior. A wide variety of flavors is available, including smooth (koshian) and chunky (tsubuan) red bean paste made from Hokkaido Tokachi adzuki beans, as well as Yamato Matcha. With its unique Nara-inspired appearance, it makes for a great conversation piece when given as a gift. One bite allows the fragrant aroma and sweetness to spread softly through your palate.
