Poppo Apple Custard Manju Cakes (9 pieces)

Charming and playful, these manju cakes are shaped like the Nagano region’s beloved raichō (lit. "thunder bird"), nicknamed "poppo" in Japanese. Beneath their cute exterior lies a blend of flavors—white bean paste kneaded with honeyed Nagano apples, plus a smooth custard cream center that adds a soft richness. The sweetness is mild and comforting, allowing the fruit’s natural character to shine through. Individually wrapped in a glossy, pearl-finish packaging, each piece feels like a small, thoughtful treat.

Presented in a cleverly designed box, the packaging itself becomes part of the experience—transforming into a fun thunderbird mask to enjoy. Delightful in both taste and presentation, this confection brings a touch of Nagano’s charm to every bite.
