Yakimochi Saki-chan

This is a chewy manju (steamed bun) said to be the origin of 'Nama Momiji.' It is an autumn-exclusive confection crafted by Nishikido, a long-established shop in Hiroshima, and is modeled after 'Saki-chan,' the mascot of the 51st Hiroshima National Sports Festival. Richly flavored smooth red bean paste made with Hiroshima-grown adzuki beans is softly wrapped in a mochi dough, resulting in an even chewier and more elastic texture than the standard Nama Momiji. The gentle sweetness and mochi-like chewiness create an unforgettable taste. This seasonal flavor can only be encountered in Hiroshima during autumn. Please enjoy it slowly with a cup of warm tea and savor the chewy texture to your heart's content.
