Ice Manju (Kuwana)
In Kuwana, there is a somewhat rare, old-fashioned cold snack. Kuwana's Ice Manju is a local frozen dessert consisting of red bean paste densely packed inside a frozen milk ice bar shaped like a stick. It is made using a traditional method where condensed milk-based milk and red bean paste are poured into iron molds and frozen together with a stick. It is said to have originated around the time soft-serve ice cream began to become widespread, and several long-established shops in Kuwana continue to preserve their unique flavors to this day. The combination of chilled, sweet milk and warm, gentle red bean paste is a summer tradition that has been loved by the people of Kuwana for many years. While it is perfect for the hot season, enjoying it while sitting around a kotatsu on a cold day is also a special pleasure.
