Momiji manju is a traditional Japanese confectionery originating from Hiroshima. It is shaped like the leaves of the maple tree and is typically filled with sweet red bean paste, although variations may include custard or chocolate fillings. The outer layer is made from a batter that is similar to pancake mix, giving it a soft and fluffy texture. These treats are often enjoyed as a souvenir or snack, especially during the autumn season when the leaves change color. Momiji manju is not only popular among locals but also attracts tourists who visit Hiroshima to experience its unique flavors and cultural significance.
