Saka Manju (Sake-Infused Steamed Bun with Red Bean Paste)
sinseifoods LLC (Mie)
sakemanjuu made with red bean paste (steamed bun) is sold in Saiku, Meiwa Town, Taki District, Mie Prefecture, which is recognized as a Japan Heritage site. This sakemanjuu, manufactured by sinseifoods LLC, is made with carefully selected ingredients. The wheat flour and rice flour are produced in Mie Prefecture, the Iseimo, a specialty of neighboring Taki Town, the sake and sake lees offered by local sake breweries to Ise Shrine, and the azuki beans are fresh anko procured from a bean paste shop in Ise and cooked in-house. The dough has a chewy and moist texture, and the bean paste has a refreshing aftertaste, making it delicious enough to eat many at once. sinseifoods LLC has a history that began with the founder’s grandfather starting a transportation company with a single milk truck. Due to subsequent connections, the company transitioned into its current confectionery manufacturing business. The current president oversees both the transportation company and the confectionery manufacturing business, creating an integrated system from production to delivery. Inspired by the town’s suggestion to create a local specialty product in Meiwa Town, it was decided to use sake offered to Ise Shrine from a local brewery to make the sakemanjuu. They aimed to have a stall at the Saiou Festival and completed the product through daily trials and errors. This sakemanjuu, created with the united efforts of the employees, is committed to using ingredients from Mie Prefecture. The wheat flour and rice flour are from Mie Prefecture, and the highly nutritious Iseimo from neighboring Taki Town, along with the sake and sake lees from local breweries. The bean paste is also cooked in-house from fresh anko, with a refined sweetness. Since the alcohol has evaporated, it is a safe product for small children to eat. The inclusion of Iseimo provides a chewy and moist texture, and it is delicious as is. When lightly heated in the microwave, it tastes as fresh as if it were just made, and when toasted, it becomes crispy on the outside and chewy like mochi on the inside. Additionally, lightly frying it allows you to enjoy a new crispy texture. You can enjoy the different flavors, so please give it a try.
