The delicate and delicious pastry making is quintessential.
Japanese notation "茶和(さわ)"
Tawaraya Yoshitomi, a very long-established confectioner founded in 1755 in Kyoto City makes “Sawa” manju, a sweet bun filled with green tea bean paste.
A bamboo grove is drawn on the package and it looks very image of Kyoto .
It is hard to tell green tea bean paste filled inside manju. The dough skin looks smooth and beatutiful.
Deep colored green tea bean paste is filled. The dough skin is thin and is very spingy texture.
The green tea bean paste tastes slightly bitter and astringency of the green tea among the sweetness. The authentic matcha, green tea flavor goes well with spingy sweet bun skin and the bean paste. It is very approach like Kyoto style.
