This sweet is Momiji Manju, a famous confectionary from a place called Hiroshima, located in the west of Japan.
Inside the bun, there are some chewy white bean paste made from Otefume beans. It has a slight yuzu flavor.

| Easy to get? |
| ★★★☆☆ I got this at AEON, one of the biggest supermarkets in Japan. They don’t usually sell them, but I was able to buy some because they were having a fair of local confection. It seems that we can buy them anytime at the manufacturer Nishikido’s online store. |
| Get again? |
| ★★★★☆ Probably yes! |
