Hello, I’m Lucy. Today I’m sharing a beloved local treat from Saga—Shouro Manju, a hand-grilled sweet that’s been made with care by skilled artisans for generations.
These round delights are crafted with fluffy castella batter poured onto a hot iron plate, releasing a toasty aroma as they sizzle. Inside, they’re filled with a generous portion of smooth, gently sweet red bean paste—offering a nostalgic taste of traditional Japanese wagashi.
❤️ At just 100 yen each, they’re as affordable as they are comforting.
You can find them at 【大原松露饅頭】, about an 8-minute walk from Watada Station in Saga. Takeout is available, and they even offer nationwide delivery, so you can enjoy them wherever you are.
Saga Prefecture, Karatsu City, Watada Hommura 4-51
