Mashed green soybeans are called “Zunda”, so this manju with beautiful natural green filling is called Zunda manju. It is very famous confection in Yamagata and Miyagi prefectures.

My colleague gave me this for the souvenir. It tasted very nice.
Green soybean paste is sweetened with sugar just like ordinally anko (red bean paste) though it tastes slightly lighter.

I’m always pleased with such a regional speciality!

Ingredients:Sugar, green soybean, flour…etc.
