Gotsu Iwami-yaki Manju
Gotsu is a town of pottery where the warmth of artisans resides within its simple appearance. This is a beloved souvenir sweet from such a land. The Iwami region, centered around Gotsu City, is a production area for 'Iwami-yaki,' which has flourished since the Edo period. It is characterized by being durable and resistant to cracking, produced by firing highly heat-resistant clay at high temperatures. Large water jars called 'Hando' were transported across the country via Kitamaebune ships and were highly valued for their robustness. In 1994, it was designated as a national traditional craft. This is a Japanese sweet with a simple sweetness, made in a town where such pottery culture is still very much alive. The gentle flavor evokes the warmth of handmade Iwami-yaki. It is the perfect item to commemorate a visit to Gotsu, the village of craftsmanship.
