The brand "Kashin Tachibana" developed by Tokachi Tachibana will open at Food Marche on the 2nd floor of Tokyo Solamachi for a limited time until January 31st. In addition to the store's signature product, "Fresh Panse," "Animal Manju," which you can hardly meet except at special events, is on sale.


Animal buns are small-sized buns that are easy for children to eat. A total of 10 types of rabbits, otters, monkeys, chickens, chicks, koalas, elephants, pigs, pandas, and bears are available.


Only rabbits and pigs have milk bean paste, and the others have bean paste inside.



It's cute and hard to eat, but when you bite it, the dough is moist and chewy. The sweet bean paste was modestly sweet and delicious, and the milk bean paste was delicious with a mellow richness and aroma.

The price is 162 yen for one piece and 1,296 yen for a set of 10 pieces (both including tax). You can combine your favorite animals or take the plunge and buy 10 animals in bulk. There is also this year's zodiac "rooster", and it seems that it will be useful as a small souvenir!
