Mochi Bun, also known as Manju, is what got me into Japanese snacks when my Japanese colleague brought a box for us when back from vacation at his hometown. Since then, Japanese snacks simply have that power to entice me to buy them, no matter the price. But it got to the taste that got me to continue buying it. And this Mochi Bun is definitely one of those I will buy again. In fact, I finished 8 of them within two days!
The skin is thin but packs a punch in the aroma of baked goods, doing great to harmonize the milky goodness of the finely crushed white bean paste. The taste is there, that’s for sure. The box is so beautiful too, absolutely perfect to give as gift too. But it will take lots of willpower not to finish them up instead.
