kuri manju is a traditional Japanese confection made from sweetened chestnut paste, often combined with anko, a sweet red bean paste. The filling is encased in a soft, steamed or baked dough, typically made from flour, sugar, and water. This treat is especially popular during the autumn season when chestnuts are in abundance. Kuri manju is enjoyed for its rich flavor and is often served with tea, making it a delightful snack or dessert for various occasions.
