Nanbu Toji no Sato Sake Manju

A sake manju (steamed bun) unique to Iwate, featuring a subtle aroma of sake. Produced in Shiwa Town, this area is known as the birthplace of Nanbu Toji, one of Japan's three great brewing lineages alongside the Echigo Toji of Niigata and Tanba Toji of Hyogo. Its history dates back to the 1600s, and as a sake-brewing region blessed with abundant rice and water since ancient times, it has produced numerous master brewers. There is an exquisite balance between the aroma rising from the dough, which is kneaded with sake lees, and the gentle sweetness of the smooth red bean paste inside. This flavorful treat allows you to easily experience Iwate's long-standing sake brewing culture through a simple tea-time snack. It would also make a delightful gift for sake lovers.
