Mochi-mochi Yomogi Manju
Japanese notation "もちもちよもぎ饅頭"
“Mochi-mochi Yomogi Manju” is made by “Chichibu Nakamuraya” established in 1924 in Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture. This confectionery shop has also recently become a hot topic of conversation for making “Chichibu Mayu“.
Manju steamed with plenty of “Yomogi(mugwort)” kneaded into the dough. It has the texture of a steamed cake.
The inside is filled with a sweet bean paste, and the dough is generally moist and chewy in texture.
The fresh aroma of Yomogi(mugwort) and the moist manju dough are delicious, and the sweet bean paste is refreshingly sweet and goes well with the flavor of Yomogi. Chichibu is a place of rich nature and scenic beauty, and the Chichibu Railway is the perfect souvenir to take with you on a short trip.
