When you take a bite of this round bun with its distinctive pointed top, the elegant sweetness of the smooth egg yolk paste melts in your mouth. It is a deeply delicious manju that makes you crave a cup of tea. A specialty of Kotohira Town in Kagawa Prefecture, famous for Konpira-san. The filling, made from egg yolks, is wrapped in a thin dough and baked into the shape of moxibustion pellets. The origins of this business date back to 1765, when it was an inn located along the approach to Kotohira-gu Shrine. It has long been loved as a quintessential souvenir for pilgrims. The fragrant thin crust and the mellow richness of the egg yolk paste provide a level of sweetness that is perfect for a break after climbing the stone steps. Please enjoy it alongside your visit to Konpira-san.
