Every region has its own local sweets that have been popular since long ago. This time, we would like to introduce "Tengu Manju," which is well-known to all Iwamizawa citizens. Let's take a look at what kind of manjuu it is.

Tengu Manju was established in 1954 and is sold by Tengu Manju Honpo. Currently, there are two stores in Iwamizawa City, one in front of the station and the other at the 5-jo branch.

Upon entering the store, we were greeted by sweets sitting in a traditional showcase. I immediately checked out the tengu manju!

They come in three colors (red, white, and brown)! They are small enough to eat in two or three bites and reasonably priced at 110 yen per piece including tax. You can eat all three colors at a reasonable price of 110 yen per piece.

When you break it open, you will see that it is filled with Koshian (sweet bean paste). The sweetness is just like an old-fashioned manjuu. The simple taste makes you think, "Oh, yes, I wanted to eat something like this!

The "Kusa-manju" (110 yen including tax) is a must-have set with the tengu manju. There are two types of manju: Koshi An (sweet red bean paste) and Tsubu An (sweet red bean paste), and the sweetness of the red bean paste and the flavor of mugwort will fill your mouth.

For those who want something a little different, how about the "banana" (110 yen including tax)? If the name says banana, it looks like a banana. Of course, when you eat it, it tastes like a banana. In fact, it is a steamed bread with a slightly sweet and gentle taste.

Among the many products available at Tengu Manju Honpo, the most popular is the "soft ice cream" (290 yen including tax). It is quite thick and hearty, and is a bargain when purchased with only three 100-yen coins!

All of the products are reasonably priced and have a taste that you will never get tired of, so it is no wonder that Iwamizawa citizens have been familiar with them for a long time. When you visit Iwamizawa, be sure to buy some for yourself or as a souvenir.
