Fuki Shiritataki
The unusual name is sure to bring a smile to your face. This is 'Shiritataki,' a white bean paste manju (steamed bun) made by the Hakata confectionery shop, Fuki. 'Shiritataki' is the name of a traditional festival passed down since ancient times in Kasuga City, Fukuoka. It was a custom where children would gently tap a bride's buttocks with straw sticks, wishing her fertility and a long, settled life in the local land. Fuki created this manju in the early Heisei era so that this important festival would never be forgotten. With the gentle sweetness of soft white bean paste, you can truly feel the warmth of the local community. Handing these over while sharing the origin of their unique name is sure to spark conversation. It is a heartwarming Japanese sweet that is quintessentially Fukuoka.
