Oni Manju (Shinji Seika-ho)
The rugged appearance holds the legend of the ogre of Fukuchiyama—this is the famous 'Oni Manju' from Shinji Seika-ho. It is a quintessential Fukuchiyama sweet, created in connection with Shuten-doji of Mt. Oeyama. Legend has it that the strongest and most evil ogre, Shuten-doject, once resided in Mt. Oeyama. Founded in 1947, Shinji Seika-ho reflected on this legend and created Oni Manju using Shuten-doji's 'Koshikake-iwa' (Sitting Rock) as a motif. Inside the thin skin, sweet bean paste is packed densely. It is a souvenir you must try when visiting Fukuchiyama. Despite its powerful appearance, it possesses a gentle sweetness. This is a unique item found only in Fukuchiyama, with each piece handcrafted one by one.
