    宮島フェリー乗り場の入口に有ります。うまくタイミング合えば出来立ての熱々もみじ頂けます。味は大納言、こしあんの定番以外にチョコやチーズ、クリームが有ります。店内で出来立て食べていると熱いお茶も頂きました。おもてなしです。

    A long-established momiji manju store specializing in deep-fried momiji cakes, opened in 2006 and located in Miyajima Town, Hatsukaichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture. The store, which is a refurbished old townhouse built in the Edo period, has a very Japanese style reminiscent of how the shops used to be in the old Miyajima shopping district. The shop has an eat-in space where visitors can enjoy some of the piping hot, deep-fried momiji with a cup of tea. Their deep-fried momiji cake topped with cold ice-cream is also very popular.

    A long established momiji manju store founded in the late Meiji period and located in Miyajima Town, Hatsukaichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture. The shop sells momiji manju filled with homemade bean paste made with adzuki beans from Hokkaido. They sell only two varieties, koshian, a smooth bean paste filling, and tsubuan, a more granular, lumpy bean filling. It is said that this was the first shop to think up the tsubuan variety momiji manju. Their signature product, tsubu-momiji is known for its flavorsome adzuki beans and its refined sweetness. The castella dough of the cake is plump and soft, and remains so even after a few days, making it a perfect gift or souvenir.

    This is a small bakery which makes some tasty pastries filled with bean curd. I had one warm which is the way to do it. Great little snack for one dollar. Enjoy.

    This historic momiji manju buns shop has been in business for over 100 years. Still located on the exact same spot as when it was founded, the shop continues to make momiji manju, a traditional Miyajima confection. The shop’s momiji manju are baked a golden yellow and have a fluffy, delicate texture. The shop uses only domestic Momiji eggs and whips them for an extended period of time, resulting in a batter that is air-filled and fluffy. The shop’s crispy, piping hot deep-fried momiji manju, a staple for tourists to enjoy while walking around Miyajima, were invented by the shop’s fourth generation owner out of a desire to find a delicious way to make use of momiji manju whose shape didn’t come out quite right in the production process.

    Bought to try but loved it. Bought few flavours to try them all. Delicious. Went back for seconds. Whilst in miyajima dont miss trying them.

There is more than meets the eye awaiting any Hiroshima-bound traveler. Kicking off in Hiroshima city, the Peace Memorial Park, Hiroshima Castle, and Shukkeien Garden offer a couple of days of exploring; however, the real beauty lies along the southern coast of the prefecture. There, a series of islands spreads across the Seto Inland Sea: from the mysterious sea-submerged Great Torii Gate at Miyajima Island to the first half of the islands that connect Honshu to Shikoku via six spectacular suspension bridges.
