Kakuni Manju (Iwasaki Honpo)

When you open the fluffy dough, you see the glossy, glistening braised pork. As you bite into it, the melting fat and mellow sauce spread through your mouth, making you close your eyes in delight. The inspiration for this was 'Dongpo Pork,' a dish from Nagasaki's Shippoku banquet cuisine. It is said that Hirotaka Iwasaki, the first generation of Iwasaki Honpo, created the 'Kakuni Manju' with the desire to make this Chinese-born braised pork more accessible and delicious. The secret sauce uses no chemical seasonings, relying on a unique soy sauce for its flavor. The compatibility between the dough and the pork is meticulously calculated. A single small piece that fits in your palm is packed with the essence of Nagasaki's food culture.
