Satsuma Joukiya Karukan Manju
A representative steamed confection of Kagoshima, made by a long-established shop in Tenmonkan. Karukan is a famous Kagoshima sweet passed down since the era of the Satsuma Domain. It is a steamed cake made with Japanese mountain yam (jinenjo) and rice flour; its name appears in the Shimadzu family records from the 12th year of the Genroku era (1699), and it was once known as 'Tonosama-gashi' (Lord's sweet) enjoyed by daimyo families. Satsuma Joukiya in Tenmonkan, Kagoshima City, is a Japanese confectionery shop founded in 1988. This Karukan Manju is a masterpiece where the bean paste is gently wrapped in a chewy white dough and steamed. Its charm lies in the natural sweetness of the mountain yam and its soft, elegant texture, making it a beloved signature product of Joukiya, alongside the popular 'Custardon'.
