Kincho-Gold
Japanese notation "金長ゴールド"
I bought “Kincho Gold” a sister product of Kincho Manju, which has long been loved in Tokushima.
“Kincho Gold” is a mild and moist manju baked in a dough made of wasanbon sugar and milk, wrapped in yellow bean paste.
It is a beautiful, round manjuu. It is a little flat and the outer skin is moist. By the way, you can see the origin of “Kincho Manju” here.
The inside is a white yolk red bean paste. It has a silky texture, but it is an elegant red bean paste finished elegantly with wasanbon.
The taste is slightly sweet and rustic, and the use of wasanbon (a type of Japanese sugar made from three grains of clay) is a convincing reason for its elegant taste. The name “gold” in the name made me think it would have a gorgeous flavor, but it was a very traditional, friendly, and gentle taste.
