Tamura Kashipo Uni-Manju (Sea Urchin Bun)
Japanese sweets meets sea urchin—this unexpected combination was born in Sadamisaki. Tamura Kashipo's 'Uni-Manju' is a unique specialty representing Ikata Town, the westernmost point of Ehime Prefecture. Tamura Kashipo is a long-established confectionary in Sadamisaki that began its craft in 1949. Following the opening of the Sadamisaki Melody Line in 1987 and the subsequent increase in tourists, this manju was devised as a way to revitalize the local area struggling with population decline by using the bounties of the peninsula's sea. Sea urchin caught off the coast of Sadamisaki is kneaded into the bean paste and gently wrapped in a milk-flavored dough. A single bite offers a one-of-a-kind flavor where the scent of the ocean meets a subtle sweetness. It is a mysterious and addictive manju where sweetness and umami meet. This unique item from Sadamisaki is sure to be a great conversation starter.
