Okashi-nai

Akita's manju with a big smile

It is a cheese manju with white bean paste and cheese inside a sponge cake dough crust. “Okashi-nai” is the name of one of the stations on the Akita Railway in Akita Prefecture, and is also the name of a region in the northern inland part of Akita Prefecture.

The station is located deep in the mountains of inland Akita Prefecture, and although it appears to be unmanned, it seems to be a scenic place.

When you open the package, you will see a smiling manju!

You may think they are too cute to eat.

But I eat it!

I wondered if cheese and white bean paste would go well together, but it feels like a perfect harmony. It is simply delicious.

The cheese and white bean paste mingled together in perfect harmony. It was a nice manju that looked cute and tasted simply delicious.
