What Japanese buyers say

Reviewers overwhelmingly praise this soft, thin-skinned manju filled with creamy, buttery white bean paste, often described as a blend of Japanese and Western sweets. It is a safe gift for all ages and for business use, comes in packs from small to large, and many buy it for themselves. A few find it a bit sweet or rich, and one says it is heavy to carry.
