Kinone Manju

These are simple, rustic manju (steamed buns) that the Japanese confectionery shop 'Kinone Honpo' in Kotoura Town has preserved since its founding in the Showa era. Their unadorned, gentle flavor has been loved for a long time. The shop's name is derived from the Kinone Shrine located behind it. This shrine, which enshrines the roots of a pine tree as its deity, is known for blessings regarding fertility, marital harmony, and matchmaking, attracting visitors from afar who come specifically to purchase these manju. The ingredients are very simple, and the careful handmade quality is evident in the moist dough. This is a somewhat rare item that can only be found at this shop along the national highway. Please enjoy the gentle sweetness that slowly spreads in your mouth.
