Nyanko Manju (Kitty Manju)
These are cat-shaped steamed buns so adorable that you might hesitate to eat them. They are handmade confections from Kasen Takadaya, a Japanese confectionery shop in the 'Showa Town' of Bungotakada. The three cats each have their own name and personality. The white cat, 'Nyanta,' is a Joyo Manju with smooth bean paste; the black cat, 'Nyankichi,' is a Nerikiri kneaded with edible bamboo charcoal with matcha bean paste; and the brown cat, 'Nyansuke,' is a Joyo Manju with cinnamon and chunky bean paste. The fact that each one has a different flavor makes it fun. Each piece is carefully finished by hand, and it is mysterious how even their facial expressions seem slightly different. A heartwarming sweet that suits the retro streetscape. It is a perfect item for gifts to cat lovers or as a souvenir of your travels.
