Welcome to TAKEDA. Today, we’d like to introduce our special dessert, the karinto manju (A Japanese deep fried brown sugar steamed bun), which perfectly complements the end of your meal. TAKEDA’s homemade karinto manju is a unique treat, crafted with care to offer an experience unlike any other.

A Unique Technique and Flavor

Our karinto manju is made by carefully wrapping white bean paste (shiro-an) in dough flavored with Okinawa, Japan black sugar, then steaming and frying it to achieve a crispy outside. This dual preparation technique results in a perfect harmony of textures, where the crisp exterior and warm, smooth sweetness of the bean paste create a memorable finish to your dining experience.

Quality Ingredients for a Special Taste

We use Okinawa, Japan black sugar in the dough, which imparts a rich, slightly bittersweet flavor that balances perfectly with the white bean paste filling. The combination of black sugar and shiro-an brings out a delicate, balanced sweetness that is signature to TAKEDA’s recipe.

How We Serve It

The karinto manju is served fresh and warm with a side of caffeine-free soba tea. This lightly roasted tea complements the sweetness of the dessert, making for a refreshing, satisfying end to your meal. Enjoy each bite at your leisure, savoring the delightful textures and flavors.

At TAKEDA, every detail is carefully chosen to create a special experience for our guests. We hope you’ll enjoy our karinto manju and the thoughtful finish it brings to your dining experience.
