The skin of the manju bun is so thin it gently melts in your mouth to expose the plenty of soft bean paste within. This small delicate manju bun has been enjoyed by many generations and is familiarly beloved. It naturally goes well with tea, and makes a superb souvenir gift.
  • Aki Group Farm
    Shopping
    Kochi Aki-shi Ananaiotsu 685-2
    This ice cream shop is famous for its Roasted Eggplant Ice Cream, a local favorite. The treat has appeared in various media outlets and won the highest award at the Local Ice Cream Grand Prix. Kochi Prefecture is Japan's largest exporter of eggplants. Aki in particular produces huge quantities, and the thought of “delivering the taste of Kochi eggplant to as many people as possible” was the origin of their novel ice cream. They dehull each eggplant carefully, grilling them over a charcoal fire for their lightly sweet ice cream—a new flavor sensation. This popular, high-fiber treat keeps people coming back for more.

Kochi Areas

The largest of Shikoku’s prefectures, Kochi is endowed with some of the island’s most exceptional sand beaches lining the Pacific Ocean, which narrows into the Shimanto-gawa, a huge river that stretches 196 kilometers into the prefecture, passing verdant mountains and hosting countless riverside activities. Whether you’re a pilgrim or not, Kochi’s 16 Buddhist temples that make up one leg of the Shikoku Pilgrimage are worth a visit, particularly Chikurin-ji for its five-tier pagoda.
