“Hiroshima Manmaru Cheese,” a new manju (sweet bean paste filled bun) from “Mitsuya Honpo” – a leading Japanese sweets shop in Kure City, Hiroshima Prefecture. Rich in bean paste created from cream, cheddar and camembert cheeses, these pastries keenly resemble masterful cheesecake creations. They also contain hearty helpings of dried fruit soaked in fine liquor, while wrapped in dough exuding the mellow aroma of Miyajima-harvested honey. With their fine balance of sweet and tart flavors, these manju are an elegant blend of Japanese and Western pastry traditions.

Noriyuki Myojin, recognized by the National Japanese Sweets Association as an Excellent Japanese Sweets Artisan.
“With the current diversification in cuisine, Japanese sweets shops have also seen an increase in customers requesting so-called “Westernized Japanese pastries.” Against this backdrop, our yearning for unique new sweets never seen in the past brought the “Hiroshima Manmaru Cheese” to our product lineup. The guiding concept may be described as full-fledged cheese cake created by Japanese sweets artisans. More specifically, use of the “wrapping” technique renowned in Japanese confections to create cakes bundled in cheese. Our hope is to have this original confectionary arise and sparkle as a new local specialty in Hiroshima.”
