Kuri Manju (Kogetsudo)
Kogetsudo was founded in Kokura in 1895. Its flagship product is the elegant 'Kuri Manju,' shaped like a chestnut. It has long been loved as a representative confection of Kitakyushu. The manju is baked to a glossy chestnut color, enveloping smooth white bean paste. At the time of the company's founding, this sweet—which uses 'kachimuri' (winning chestnuts) considered an auspicious symbol—is said to have gained great popularity. The main store also houses the cafe 'Kissako,' serving as a relaxing spot for shoppers and locals. A combination of gentle, smooth white bean paste and fragrant, baked skin. It is a long-loved flavor of Kitakyushu that makes you want to take a relaxing break with a cup of warm tea.
