Tora-Manju

虎饅頭

Big, just like a tiger, a very powerful bun.

“Tora-manju” is made by “Meibust Kamado” in Sakaide City, Kagawa Prefecture. The kanji character for “tiger” written strongly on the package. It is a cool package.

The concept behind the manju is “as strong as a tiger,” and the first thing to note is that it is huge! When you hold it, it is so heavy that it is hard to believe it is a single manjuu.

It looks very powerful from the side. The manju skin is baked to a golden brown and looks very delicious.

The thick manju skin is delicious! The tsubuan (sweet bean paste) inside is also standard deliciousness, and the desire to “eat a lot of manju” is fulfilled with just one doughy piece. It was a very satisfying manju.
