Unzen Onsen Manju

A long-beloved hot spring manju from the steaming streets of Unzen. The gentle sweetness of the simple smooth red bean paste soaks into your body after a soak in the springs. Unzen Onsen is an ancient hot spring said to have begun about 1,300 years ago when Gyoki founded a temple after seeing smoke rising from the mountains. Since the Meiji era, it has been visited by people from Japan and abroad as a high-altitude summer resort and was designated as Japan's first national park. Near the sulfur-scented Unzen Jigoku, souvenir sweets have flourished alongside a long culture of hot spring healing. Wrapped in a fluffy dough, the bean paste offers a nostalgic, gentle taste. It is a masterpiece you will want to take home quietly along with your travel memories.
