福岡県·銘菓
Hiyoko
This manju (steamed bun) is incredibly charming, with a little chick shape peeking upward. When you break open the soft skin, it is packed with rich, moist egg yolk paste. The gentle sweetness, fragrant with the scent of eggs, spreads softly in your mouth. Founded in 1897, it was born at Yoshinodo in Iizuka City, Fukuoka Prefecture. It is said that the second generation of the family dreamed of creating something different from the round manju that were mainstream at the time, eventually completing this three-dimensional chick-shaped manju. It offers a simple, rustic flavor, with egg-infused skin enveloping egg yolk paste made from white kidney beans known as 'Otebo'. It is such a charming treat that you might find yourself hesitating on where to take the first bite. It pairs perfectly with tea.
