I think you have
ever heard “Momiji-manjuu” sweets. It is the most popular sweets in Hiroshima,
and there are many people in the other prefectures who know “Momiji-manjuu”.
When I go back to Hiroshima, I buy many Momiji-manjuu as souvenir for my
friends and colleagues sometimes.

What is “Momiji-manjuu” ?
I think you have
a question as follows. What do the words “Momiji” and ”manjuu” mean ? “Momiji”
means maple. “manjuu” means Japanese style sweets stuffed with sweetened bean
paste. (But actually there are many kinds of “manjuu” in Japan. So I can’t explain
about all kinds of “manjuu” today. I’m sorry・・・. ) That’s why the shape of Momiji-manjuu is maple, and it is stuffed
with some sweet ingredients.
The taste is
amazing !! If you visit Hiroshima, please try it. In some Momiji-manjuu shops
in Hiroshima, you can eat fresh baked Momiji-manjuu.
