Momiji Manju creater's grandson, is now made the mould and saling.
'Momiji Manju' is the most popular souvenir in Hiroshima,
maple leafe shaped sweet sponge cake with bean paste, cheese, chocolate and some other flavours.
Their momiji manju is not like those, as they use glutinous rice flour and so, the cake texture is mochi mochi (chewy), not too sweet too.
they only have red bean flavour, but I think is the best.
cute maple leaf shape. people love to visit Miyajima for autumn jalan jalan.
I feel like having a few and will like to return to the shop and buy.
Most of popular momiji manju is fully automated machine baked, but the shop is hand baked. It's also the point I like.
*Momiji manju is created by Mr. Tsunesuke Takatsu.
It was created for Miyajima's famous ryokan 'Iwasou'.
