Dipped in brandy! Chocolate goes very well with it.

The “Horoyoi Momiji-manju” made by Tenkodo in Naka Ward, Hiroshima City, is a “Momiji-manju” filled with alcohol. Chocolate also seems to be used, giving it a blend of Japanese and Western flavors.

The word “Horoyoi” means a little bit drunk.

Bright red film pakage, I kept it in the refrigerator because it said it tastes better when chilled.

It looks not much different from a typical Momiji-manju, but when you flip it over,,

It is generously coated with chocolate. Moreover, the chocolate gives off a soft aroma of brandy.

Itself seems to have been dipped in brandy and the whole dough is very moist.

The Momiji-manju, moistened with brandy, tasted like tiramisu. It is strange that the aroma of Western liquor and Japanese sweets go so well together, but the harmonious taste made it very tasty.
