Original Mt. Unzen-Fugen Eruption Manju

This is a famous manju from Kasho Shimada, popular for its mechanism where steam puffs out when you pull a string on the box. Since its release in 1990, it has been a unique representative souvenir of Shimabara. When the string is pulled, a heating unit at the bottom of the container activates, steaming the manju placed on top in about 4 to 5 minutes. It earned this name because the rising steam resembles the volcanic activity of Mt. Unzen-Fugen, known for its eruptions. Inside is an aromatic sake-manju filled with homemade smooth red bean paste, allowing you to enjoy it piping hot right after 'eruption.' Triggering an 'eruption' in your hands and eating it fresh makes this a fun, delicious Shimabara souvenir that serves as a great conversation starter.
