Yamamoto Seika - Yamamoto's Salt Manju

A simple manju (sweet bun) passed down in the Bizen region, featuring a sharp accent of saltiness. Yamamoto Seika has crafted a unique flavor by adding a touch of salt to a lightly sweetened bean paste. Bizen is an area in eastern Okayama Prefecture, also known for its pottery. Salt manju is a Japanese confection that enhances sweetness while leaving a clean aftertaste by adding a subtle hint of salt to the dough and filling. Its characteristic feature is a deep flavor that is even preferred by those who do not favor overly sweet foods. With one bite, the saltiness gently emerges after a mild sweetness. The balance between sweet and salty is pleasant, with a simplicity that makes you want to eat more and more. It is an enduring taste of Bizen that pairs perfectly with tea.
