Tsumugi-Uta (Pistachio)
Japanese notation "紡ぎ詩(ピスタチオ)"
“Tsumugi Uta (Pistachio)” is a bite sized pistachio-based manju, a sweet bun, made by a long-established Japanese confectionary Tsuruya Yoshinobu in Kamigyo-ku, Kyoto, who was founded in 1803.
Pistachio is quite familiar to be used for chocolates and cookies in Western confectionery. It sounds innovative to use it for such traditional Japanese sweet, manju.
A generous amount of chopped pistachios is studded on the top of the cute gourd-shaped manju.
It includes pasted bean-jam mixed with pasted pistachios so the past is colored with pistachios deep green.
It tastes mild sweetness and slightly bitter among pistachio-flavored bean jam, absolute pistachios! It is understandable to see such perfect balance with the manju skin and the bean jam because of high skill by the long-standing confectionery.
