山口県·銘菓
Shitatatsumi
With a single bite, the fluffy gyuhi and smooth white bean paste melt together, allowing a subtle sweetness to spread throughout your mouth—a fine Yamaguchi confection with a delicate softness, much like a baby's cheek. This gyuhi manju was created through extensive research and trial and error by Sanindou, founded in 1883. The white bean paste uses Otebo beans from Hokkaido, and the basic ingredients and methods have remained largely unchanged since the company's founding, still preserved through manual craftsmanship today. The name originates from an anecdote where Terauchi Masatake, the Prime Minister of the time, suggested renaming it 'Meika Shitatatsumi' (The Famous Confection Shitatatsumi). Its gentle melting texture pairs perfectly with warm tea. Please savor its elegant sweetness gently on your tongue.
