Matsue Confectionery: Shinji Lake Clam
The beautiful Lake Shinji has been selected as one of Japan's top 100 scenic views. This unique Matsue manju (sweet bun) is humorously shaped like the lake's famous clams. Lake Shinji is known nationwide as a major production area for these clams. While it looks exactly like a clam, the taste is that of a soft, sweet manju. There is no fishy smell at all; instead, you can enjoy the combination of moist dough and gentle red bean paste. One bite is so delicious it will make you smile. Its cute, rounded shape makes for great conversation when served with tea. It is the perfect souvenir for a trip to Matsue, reminiscent of the sunsets and lakeside scenery of Lake Shinji. Its adorable appearance is sure to bring a smile to anyone who receives it.

Shijimi Manju (White Bean Paste)
A Matsue manju inspired by the shijimi clams of Lake Shinji, which boasts the highest catch volume in Japan. This simple sweet consists of dough shaped like a clam filled with white bean paste. The inspiration comes from the shape rather than clam extract, so it tastes like a traditional Japanese confection.
