Mikan-daiko

Japanese notation　"柑太鼓"

Elegant citrus manju.

There are many souvenirs from Yamaguchi Prefecture, but this is “Mikan-daiko” made by Sanin-do, a talented manju that has been loved for a long time.

The flat bun is topped with a summer orange peel.

It has a slightly Western-style manju flavor, and the manju dough has a slight buttery aroma. However, the filling is white bean paste. It is a Japanese-style manjuu.

柑太鼓断面

I felt the traditional Japanese style of this bun, which has a slightly Western taste, was also very much like a traditional Japanese confectionery.

The white bean paste was very delicate and fine-grained, with a refreshing sweetness and a light but present presence. It was a fine white bean paste that spoke of the store’s tradition.
