Manju (steamed buns)
#1
Ote Manju – Sake-yeast bun with sweet bean paste
Ote Manju Iseya
- 4.5
Rating 4.5 (20 reviews)[ Taste: 4.9 Value: 4.5 Volume: 4.8 Design: 4.8 Portability: 4.4 Shelf life: 3.5 ]
Reviewers praise this thin-skinned manju filled with smooth, not-too-sweet koshian (sweet bean paste), especially warmed briefly in the microwave, and like the neat individual boxes for gifts. Several warn that it keeps only a few days, can sell out at peak seasons, and is heavy and bulky to carry. Some locals prefer it to kibi dango.

Rating 4.6 (14 reviews)[ Taste: 4.7 Value: 4.6 Volume: 4.1 Design: 4.9 Portability: 4.9 Shelf life: 4.1 ]
Reviewers praise these soft, mochi-like kibi dango as lightly sweet and easy to eat, in cute Momotaro packaging with individually wrapped pieces and flavors like matcha, brown sugar and kinako. Buyers like the low price and flexible box sizes for sharing at the office; a few note the short shelf life and that those who dislike Japanese sweets may not enjoy them.

The one reviewer found this dorayaki filled with plenty of lightly sweet bean paste, easy enough for people who dislike sweets. There is also an ogura cream version, which they thought children would like.

The one reviewer enthusiastically recommends these manju shaped like horseshoe crabs, a species whose only Japanese breeding ground is Kasaoka Bay. Though the crab looks a bit alien, they found the bean paste color and taste excellent and thought it would surprise and delight gift recipients.
