Be Soothed by Kashiwaya’s Kashiwaya Usukawa Manju with Elegant Sweetness – Don’t Miss the Refreshing Lemon-Scented Cheese Tart Too

When it comes to souvenirs from Fukushima, the most iconic treat has to be the Usukawa Manju ♡
This beloved manju is so popular across Japan that it's actually considered one of the “Top Three Manju” in the country!

With its soft and slightly roasted outer layer filled with smooth, melty red bean paste, just one bite will instantly put you in a blissful mood—this is the ultimate comfort wagashi sweet ♡

But did you know that Kashiwaya doesn’t only make traditional Japanese sweets?
Their lemon-scented cheese tart, called Lemo, is also gaining a lot of attention and love ♡

This time, we’re introducing all the sweet and delightful charm of Kashiwaya, where you can enjoy both Japanese and Western-style treats ♡

Moist outer layer & rich filling ♡ Kashiwaya Usukawa Manju

This is the must-have souvenir from Fukushima ♡
Kashiwaya Usukawa Manju is even considered one of the “Top Three Manju” in Japan!

The moist, fluffy skin and gently sweet bean paste are so satisfying that one bite will make you sigh with delight ♡

What’s more, it comes in two types: smooth and chunky red bean paste, so you can pick your favorite based on your taste!

Smooth or chunky? Both styles offer a comforting sweetness ♡

The smooth red bean paste has a delicate, clean sweetness that’s absolutely lovely ♡
Its silky texture melts in your mouth, making it a great choice even for those who aren’t big on sweets.
