Kokuto Wakaura Manju

The rich sweetness of Okinawa-produced brown sugar permeates the moist dough—this is a traditional brown sugar manju (steamed bun) named after Wakaura, a scenic spot in Wakayama. Wakaura is a beautiful inlet that has been praised in many poems since the Manyoshu era. Bearing the name of this picturesque place, this manju features a simple and warm flavor characterized by deep brown sugar sweetness and soft dough. One bite brings a comforting deliciousness that evokes a sense of nostalgia. Since it can be easily purchased at Wakayama Station, it is perfect for a small souvenir. It is a classic Japanese confection loved across generations, best enjoyed with a cup of warm tea.
