Stone Buddha Manju
When people think of Usuki, they think of the National Treasure Usuki Stone Buddhas, which remain from the Heian period. "Stone Buddha Manju" is an adorable manju inspired by these statues. The Usuki Stone Buddhas are approximately 60 rock-carved Buddhas (magabatibutsu) carved into the rock faces between the late Heian and Kamakura periods. They are a mysterious heritage of prayer, whose carvers and timing remain unknown, and were the first in Kyushu to be designated as a National Treasure. The manju, reflecting the peaceful expressions of these stone Buddable, features a gentle sweetness with smooth bean paste wrapped in moist, soft dough. Take a moment to relax while reflecting on the long millennium of prayers. It is a classic item that you will naturally want to bring home as a souvenir on your way back from visiting the stone Buddhas.
