Torahiko Waremanju
This is a traditional Japanese confection inherited by 'Torahiko,' which renamed itself from the long-established 'Toraya' that has been loved in Nobeoka since the first year of Reiwa. It is the representative confection of a famous shop that has continued to create sweets in northern Miyazaki Prefecture for over seventy years under the motto of 'Quality and Trust.' Its name is inspired by Takachiho, the setting of the myth of the descent of the heavenly grandson. It is shaped like the 'Ogatama fruit' said to have been held and danced with by Ame-no-Uzume in front of the Ama-no-Iwato cave; it came to be called 'Waremanju' (broken manju) because the skin naturally cracks when steamed. Smooth bean paste is softly and plumply wrapped in a tender skin. It is a unique confection from Nobeoka, imbued with the stories of the mythical village.

Torahiko Yabure Manju
A prideful creation featuring chunky red bean paste made by slowly simmering adzuki beans from Tokachi, Hokkaido. The white skin, made with rice flour and mountain yam as a binder, is moist and soft; the name 'Yabure Manju' (Broken Manju) comes from the fact that the filling is so generous that the skin breaks during steaming.
