One hundred thousand koku manju

About One hundred thousand koku manju

“100,000 koku manju,” which originated in Gyoda City, Saitama Prefecture, is a famous confectionary representative of the Japanese confectionary store “JUMANGOKU FUKUSAYA,” which was founded in 1952. The name comes from the fact that during the Edo period, Gyoda City boasted a stone height of 100,000 koku as the Shinobi Domain.

This sweet potato manju has a moist skin that uses domestically produced tsukune potatoes and rice flour from Koshihikari rice from Niigata prefecture, and wraps a smooth red bean paste made from high quality red beans from Tokachi, Hokkaido. It is characterized by its elegant sweetness and melts in the mouth, and has been loved by many people since its release.

The catchphrase “good, too good” comes from the words printmaker Munakata Shiko praised the 100,000 koku manju, and it is still widely known in TV commercials.

In terms of nutrition, it contains ingredients that are good for the body, such as digestive enzymes and dietary fiber contained in tsukune potatoes, protein from azuki beans, and B vitamins. The elegant flavor, which has a modest sweetness, goes well with Japanese tea, and especially when combined with sencha or roasted green tea, it enhances its flavor even more.

It can be purchased at directly managed stores and online shops in Saitama Prefecture, and is a great gift. Please try that “delicious, overly delicious” flavor.
