A cake shaped like a maple leaf... but it’s NOT maple flavored!
This is "Momiji Manju," a famous Japanese treat.
It’s dangerously good with green tea.
Would you try it? 👇

The origin of Kansai-style sakuramochi (桜餅) is less clear, though it had become widely popular by the late 18thC.
The texture of 'Dōmyōji-mochi' (道明寺餅) is far grainier and stickier, and it remains the most commonly bought sakuramochi in Japan.

In a quiet alley of Kanda, Tokyo,
a place that survived the war still stands.
Awaiting millet zenzai at Takemura—
open since 1930—he recalls a lesson
from 40 years ago: never rush.
Blow gently. Take your time.
"A Man's Wagashi" #2 is now on Blue Cover.

In the Nara period envoys to the Tang dynasty returned with sweet pastries called 'karakudamono' or 'tōgashi' (唐菓子).
At first used as offerings by the esoteric Buddhist sects, in the Heian period the treats became a staple at aristocratic banquets.
