Momiji Manju (Nishikido)
An adorable confection that seems to capture the very essence of autumn in Miyajima, a famous spot for viewing autumn leaves. It is a staple Hiroshima souvenir. Momiji Manju itself was created in 1906 by Miyajima confectioner Josuke Takatsu, inspired by the Momijidani (Maple Valley) area. Nishikido, founded in 1951, has inherited that flavor and grown into a leading manufacturer representing Hiroshima. Their simple, timeless taste—smooth red bean paste wrapped in castella sponge cake and baked into the shape of a maple leaf—has been loved across generations. In 2009, responding to the sentiment of 'If Yatsuhashi has a soft version, why doesn't Momiji?', they developed 'Nama-momiji,' which uses a chewy dough made from rice flour. While preserving tradition, they continue to evolve even today.
