Portos

The package is too cute. Portos of love!

“Portos” are custard buns sold by Chidori Manju Sohonpo in Fukuoka Prefecture. The package is very cute. The retro illustration conveys a gentle atmosphere.

This expression, with the little bird perched on his head, is also very cute.

It says “sweets of love. This must be Chidoriya’s concept, and I feel the spirit of the confectionery shop.

On the surface, “1630” is written. The year of Chidoriya’s establishment is stamped on the surface, and it is amazing that the company was founded in 1630. The battle of Sekigahara took place in 1600. It is too deep history.

When you cut it in half and look at the cross section, you will see that the custard bean paste is neatly placed. The custard filling is moist and plentiful, so even though it is small, it is surprisingly substantial.

It is delicious. The custard kneaded into the white bean paste makes it suitable for both green tea and coffee. The skin is also a traditional manju dough. Children will love the taste, and of course, adults can enjoy it as well.
