Hira Shoten Ijuin Manju

A simple manju (steamed bun) that has been loved in the castle town associated with the Shimazu clan. Ijuin in Hioki City is a place connected to the Shimazu family, where the Sengoku warlord Shimazu Yoshihiro spent his childhood. A dignified statue of Lord Yoshihiro stands in front of JR Ijuin Station, and historical spots such as the family temple Myoen-ji and Tokushige Shrine, which enshrines Lord Yoshihiro, are scattered throughout the town. In this town steeped in history, Hira Shoten produces this Ijuin Manju. Its charm lies in its unadorned, simple flavor, with sweet bean paste wrapped in a gentle dough and steamed. Rather than chasing trends, it is a heartfelt product that has been long cherished by local residents. Please enjoy it as a companion during your stroll through the castle town.
