The design of the box is inspired by the Bible. The black box is impressive.

It looks like a tube-shaped manju, but the outer dough is like a cookie.

Inside is a white bean paste.

ざびえるを食べる

The outer dough is crispy and the bean paste inside is moist and delicious. By the way, there are two types of filling, one with white bean paste and the other with white bean paste with rum raisins, and the one with rum raisins was also delicious.
