Itami Sake Manju
A sake-flavored steamed bun unique to Itami, the birthplace of sake. A subtle aroma of sake lees drifts from the fluffy dough. Itami is a town that laid the foundation for sake brewing, where mass-production techniques for clear sake were established during the Edo period. At its peak, vast quantities of sake were transported to Edo, gaining fame under the name 'Itami Shirohari.' This manju, which uses the sake lees—a byproduct of that brewing process—as part of its dough, is a true specialty of this land. It is the perfect companion for a stroll along Sakagura-dori (Sake Brewery Street). As you take a bite, a soft, fermented aroma spreads through your mouth. This local specialty allows you to enjoy the long history and rich culture of the sake town, Itami, through a heartwarming sweet treat, making it a delightful companion for exploring the brewery district.
