## Description

Review: Tiny sweet buns - Many Japanese confections have versions that are filled with a paste (dry jam) made of a sweet red bean called adzuki. Adzuki beans are cultivated throughout East Asia. Sometimes, another flavor is mixed into the paste such as milk, matcha (green tea), chestnuts, etc. A few confections such as manju have been paired with hot green tea in Japan since the 13th century. 18 pieces, 5 varieties. Descriptions on the back of the package are in quotes here: 2 桃山 (Momoyama), red and white bean-jam dumpling, "Melt-in-your-mouth red and white bean paste wrapped in a refined baked manju (yeast bun)." 2 栗まん (chestnut bean-jam dumpling), "Baked manju with chopped chestnut paste." (dark outer surface) 4 乳菓 (milk-based candy filling), "Refined baked manju with a subdued sweetness of milk flavor." (elongated shape) 5 そばまんじゅう (soba (buckwheat) steamed bun), "Bite-sized manju where the buckwheat flour flavor enhances the deliciousness." (orange stripe on wrapper) 5 抹茶まんじゅう (matcha (green tea) steamed bun), "Bite-sized manju where the aroma of matcha fills your mouth." (green stripe on wrapper) The size of each piece is 2 to 3 cm across and 1 cm thick. Each piece is individually wrapped. I don't understand why the package I received has a P65 warning on the sticker with the translated nutrition information. All of the ingredients except milk and eggs are from plants and are common in pastries. They are moderately soft and chewy. The outside is dry to the touch like cake or bread. I like the taste of these a lot. As far as snack foods go, these are above-average quality. I wish they were larger, but this is a sample pack. I'll buy a pack of larger ones in a single flavor next time. In the hexagon, it reads: 味の銘作 (Aji no Meisaku, Masterpiece of Flavor) 上品な甘さ (refined sweetness) 優雅な味わい (elegant flavor) 日本茶によくあう銘菓のとり合わせ (An assortment of famous sweets that go well with Japanese tea) "Allergy information: Contains soybean, wheat, egg, and milk." Soybeans are not in the ingredients, but they might use soybean vegetable oil, or the factory might also processes soybeans. "Caution: This package contains an oxygen absorber bag to preserve freshness. This absorber is not edible. Discard it after opening the outer bag. Keep out of reach of children." That's in red text on the back. "Storage precautions: Store in a cool place away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and humidity. Also, since no preservatives are used, once the outer bag is opened, store in the refrigerator and consume within two days." That's in black text on the back. 菓子庵丸京 (Confectionary Marukyo-Seika). That's the bakery. They specialize in dorayaki (bean-jam pancake buns). Their website lists other products.
Review: Perfect Japanese Dessert Variety! - Grreat Japanese food! If you want to try Japanese food, buy this and try it! If you know Japanese food and want some, buy this! They are tiny, cute, and delicious! FYI: If you are not familiar with Japanese sweets, they are not too sweet. Japanese desserts are mildly sweet which is very different from American sweets. So, if you have never had them, be prepared for a mild sweet taste unlike American desserts which are overly sweet and sugary. Makes me miss Japan even more!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how many confections per box**
A: I can't remember but it seemed like quite a few. I'd say at least 12, possibly up to 16 (they vary in size though - some are no bigger than a quarter while others were the size of a Chips Ahoy cookie).

**Q: How large are the buns each?**
A: They come in different sizes, some are nickle sized, some are quarter sized, and some are half dollar coin sized.

**Q: Is this Gluten free?**
A: No. Back before I started having problems with gluten, I bought these several times and enjoyed them. However, I recall that at least some of them are not gluten-free. Snd I wouldn’t vouch for the technically gluten-free ones being completely gluten-free, either. (Cross-contamination of product lines.)

**Q: Where can i find all of the ingredients?  many of the rice treats/desserts have no complete information. i would like this info before ordering.**
A: Sometimes they have it written in English on the back of the package; or some where on the packaging. Although if you can find it on the pictures it might; other then that I don't know. I do know that at lot of the little cakes are made with rice flour and some of the filling is sweet bean paste I never thought I'd like the sweet bean paste but I was wrong. But that's up to everyone who tries it to decide for themselves. I know it's not much help but I do hope I was able give you a little help.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cute little snacks
*by E***H on March 17, 2025*

They are an acquired taste if you aren’t used Asian treats but they are really tasty. The filling is adequate and they aren’t too dry. The texture was a little too hard for my brain to understand or even explain, but i didn’t dislike them.
