Matsuso Kashiten Mini Tsuruko
Since its founding around 1850, Matsuso Kashiten has continued to make Japanese sweets in Sannohe Town for over 170 years. This 'Mini Tsuruko' is a bite-sized version of their traditional Tsuruko Manju. Smooth bean paste is wrapped in a skin kneaded with brown sugar, baked to a fragrant finish, and lightly dusted with white rakugan powder. The combination of the rich sweetness of brown sugar and the moist smooth bean paste is the very essence of the traditional taste of Sannohe and Hachinohe. It is somewhat nostalgic and provides a sense of relaxation. This hidden gem is so small that you's find yourself reaching for a second or third piece. A simple, exquisite confection perfect for your daily tea time.

Namiki Kashiten Tsuruko Manju
Tsuruko Manju made by Namiki Kashiten in Sannohe Town. This is a traditional Hachinohe baked manju consisting of smooth red bean paste wrapped in a crust made with brown sugar and coated in white rice flour. Its crumbly texture and the deep richness of the brown sugar make it the perfect traditional accompaniment to tea.
Shinbori Tsuruko Manju
It all began in 1955, when the founder, Kazuko Nishinori, sold them by carrying them in a shopping basket at the morning market in front of Mutsumi-Minato Station. This is a simple, traditional taste passed down in Hachinohe: smooth red bean paste wrapped in an oval-shaped dough baked with brown sugar and flour, then generously coated in pure white rice flour.
Marumiya Tsuruko Manju
Tsuruko Manju are individually handcrafted and baked by Marumiya, a confectionery shop in Hachinohe founded in 1933. Following the traditional production methods of the Sanpi region, the smooth red bean paste is wrapped in dough kneaded with brown sugar and then coated in rice flour. It has long been cherished as a staple snack for local tea time.
