Choshu no Onna (Woman of Choshu)
A Castella manju (sponge cake bun) where Japanese and Western styles melt together, reminiscent of the women who lived in Choshu during the end of the Edo period. Produced by Ganryu Honpo, a long-established Shimonoseki store dating back to the Taisho era. Soft Castella dough gently envelops elegant bean paste. While written as 'Choshu no Onna,' it is read as 'Choshu no Hito.' It is said to express the passionate emotions of Choshu women, much like how the tides of the Sea of Japan and the Seto Inland Sea meet in the Kanmon region. It also comes with a bookmark featuring handwritten manuscript by Kaoru Furukawa, a Naoki Prize-winning author associated with Shimonodeki. With soft dough and moist bean paste, every bite invites you to reflect on the stories of the late Edo period. A profound Shimonoseki confection that allows you to enjoy both history and flavor.
