Osaka Mochimaro-ka

Delicious balance of wasanbon and rustic manju skin

“Osaka Mochimaro-ka” made by Amida-ike Daikoku, a very long-established shop founded in 1805 in Osaka, is a milk manju with a chewy manju skin and a sweet bean paste made with Wasanbon.

The manju is individually wrapped in a luxurious black and gold package design.

It is slightly flat and has a rough surface, but you can see that the outer dough has elasticity. It is made of Japanese glutinous rice and wheat flour, and is said to be a high quality manju dough.

The yellowish red bean paste inside is made of Wasanbon. The bean paste is made with a producer in Sanuki, the home of Wasanbon.

The sweetness of the bean paste is very refined, as one would expect from Wasanbon. The chewy skin also has a rustic flavor, which helps to enhance the sweetness of the bean paste.
