Bizen-yaki Milk Manju
Japanese notation "備前焼みるく饅頭"
I received this as a souvenir from a colleague who went to Okayama Prefecture on a business trip. It is a unique manju with a pattern that resembles a “Hidasuki” just like real Bizen ware.
Bizen Pottery is made in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture, and is famous for its clay flavor, which is expressed by firing without painting or glazing. It is one of the six oldest kilns in Japan with a history of 1,000 years, and has a very long history.
The pottery is fired at high temperatures without glaze or painting, and the characteristic feature of this pottery is that a pattern called “Hidasuki” appears.
It is a simple milk manju, but the milk filling is sweet and the manju skin is as fine as porcelain. The manju is an interesting recreation of a “Hidasuki” in a confectionery. It would be a perfect souvenir for those who love Bizen ware.
