Bi-an Akamai Manju Uradon
This is a rare manju (sweet bun) made with Akamai (red rice), an ancient grain that has been passed down in Soja City. You can enjoy its subtle coloring and the rustic flavor unique to red rice. Soja City is known as one of the few places in Japan where the cultivation of ancient red rice and related Shinto rituals are still practiced today. It is said that the history of red rice dates back to the Yayoi period when rice cultivation was first introduced, and it has been carefully preserved as a sacred rice offered before the gods. Sweets made with such prestigious red rice breathe with the long history of the Kibi region. Beyond its rarity, its gentle flavor is also a major attraction. Please pick one up as a memento of your visit to Soja.
