Kusaki Manju
The famous confection of Omuta, 'Kusaki Manju.' These are bite-sized steamed buns filled with white bean paste. Their light and elegant sweetness has been cherished by the local community for a long time. Originally called 'Heiwa Manju' (Peace Manju), they came to be known as 'Kusaki no Manju' because they were produced in the Kusaki district of Omuta City during the late Meiji era. Eguchi Sakae Shoten, which claims to be the original maker, was founded in 1914. It is said that for the people working in the Miike coal mines, sweet treats were an essential necessity to nourish both mind and body. With their small, adorable shape and the deeply gentle sweetness of white bean paste, it is a simple flavor that makes you reach for one more, time after time—a taste that continues to be loved by the people of Omuta.
