Kusatsu Yu no Hana Manju Honpo

A hot spring manju steamed bun workshop and direct sales shop located a one minute walk from the Kusatsu-Onsen Bus Terminal. Hot spring manju filled with tsubuan course sweet bean paste is a common treat in Kusatsu, but Yu no Ha sells rare koshian smooth bean paste-filled manju. The shop’s manju consist of a soft, spongy dough wrapped around just slightly sweet smooth bean paste made from Hokkaido adzuki beans. Yu no Hana is also the only place where you can buy Yumomi-chan-yaki, taiyaki-like confections made in the shape of the official tourism ambassador character of the Kusatsu Onsen hot spring resort district, Yumomi-chan. Fresh off the griddle, these delightful treats are crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. When the shop is cooking up a new batch, you can order a special version with two of your favorite fillings mixed in.
