'Slime Manju' utilizing Aoyagi Souhonke's craftsmanship
Following the sale of 'Slime Uiro', which formed a queue of about 100 people before opening, we are launching the new product 'Slime Manju'. Making full use of the Japanese confectionery techniques cultivated by Aoyagi Souhonke, we have packed a moist, soft, thin crust with smooth red bean paste that has a modest sweetness and simple flavor. 'We hope that people all over Japan who visit Nagoya for the first "Dragon Quest Walking" in the Tokai region will eat the "Slime Manju" that utilizes Aoyagi Souhonke's Japanese confectionery skills...'
