Kasuga Shika Manju "Kanoko"
Chewy dough filled with plenty of bean paste. Kasuga Shika Manju "Kanoko" is an adorable deer-shaped manju inspired by the legend of the divine deer of Nara. According to legend, approximately 1300 years ago, Takemikazuchi-no-mikoto arrived at Kasuga Taisha riding a white deer—because of this, the deer of Kasuga have been cherished as "divine deer." The confectionary shop Ryushoan created "Kanoko" using this legend as a motif. Featuring cute figures of a buck with antlers and a doe looking back, they are generously filled with white bean paste or custard. This popular confection has sold approximately 200,000 pieces in just one year since its release. It is a new Nara staple souvenir that is enjoyable in both appearance and taste.
