Minakami Onsen Manju

Minakami is a hot spring district located at the foot of Mount Tanigawa, where waters spring from the headwaters of the Tone River. With famous hot springs such as Minakami Onsen and Sarugakyo Onsen scattered throughout, it is a land that beautifully suits rising steam. An essential staple of this hot spring town is the Onsen Manju (steamed bun). The Tone River is a great river that begins from a single drop of snowmelt from Mount Minakami and travels 322km to the Pacific Ocean; using the clear water near its source, these buns are steamed to achieve a moist and gentle sweetness. A delightful part of walking through the town is discovering how the flavor profile changes slightly from one hot spring area to another. After a soak in the bath, enjoy a steaming hot Onsen Manju. Its simple, gentle sweetness softly envelops the lingering sensation of the Minakami waters. It is a single treat that soaks deeply into a body tired from walking.
