Torn Manju
Anne peeks out from the thin skin.
"Yabure Manju" is a confectionary originating from the legend of Takachiho and Ama-no-Iwato. It is a thin-skinned bun made with wheat flour, where the bean paste filling is visible in places.
It is one of Nobeoka's famous sweets.
It all started about 400 years ago, in 1614, when a confectionery shop in Nobeoka began selling it, and it was later taken over and spread by Sasaki Isokichi Confectionery Shop in Nakamachi.
