Kashidokoro Hirai Kogeman
A popular karinto manju (fried sweet bun) called 'Kogeman' from Kashidokoro Hirai, a long-beloved confectionery in Tamashima, Kurashiki City. This item features smooth red bean paste wrapped in a fragrant crust with the rich depth of brown sugar. While karinto manju is enjoyed nationwide, Kashidokoro Hirai has created its own unique version. It is a humorous confection named after the words of the previous generation: 'Koge-na mitame no manju ga umeen ka' (Is a bun that looks burnt actually delicious?) in the Okayama dialect. The crispy, fragrant fried crust pairs perfectly with the gentle sweetness of the smooth red bean paste. Though simple in appearance, its deliciousness is undeniable from the first bite. Please enjoy it as a souvenir loved by the people of Okayama or as an accompaniment to tea.
