Soul food for TsuCity!

This famous manju was created by the founder of Mizutani Bee Farm with the desire to make honey more accessible.

When you bite into a freshly baked piece, the skin is crispy, the strained red bean paste inside is piping hot, and the flavor of honey spreads out slightly.

This famous confectionery from TsuCity is perfect as a snack while strolling.
