Ogori Manju
This is a somewhat unique baked manju shaped like the flag of the Mori Clan. It is said to have originated in 1900 (Meiji 33) when Yuzukido created these baked manju to coincide with the opening of Ogori Station. For over a hundred years since its founding, they have maintained a simple flavor featuring a thin skin packed with smooth red bean paste, with a subtle sweetness that lets the bean's natural flavor shine. It is also an accomplished confection, having won the Minister's Award at the National Confectionery Expo. Even today, they are not mass-produced; instead, craftsmen hand-mold each one and bake them while carefully monitoring the temperature of the iron plates. With its fragrant crust and gentle bean paste, its small size that fits perfectly in your palm is also adorable, making it a perfect companion for tea. It is a taste of the local hometown, loved by people traveling to and from Yamaguchi.
