Hiroshima Pref. Hatsukaichishi Miyajimachou Nakae 304-1

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.

Hiroshima Areas

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.
