Manju is a Japanese steamed cake, and it's a traditional Japanese sweet. A variety of fillings are used in manju. The most popular filling is anko (sweet azuki bean paste.) they look so cute!

 

























i search it up n i find the recipe

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cup all purpose flour
4 tsps. baking powder
1/4 cup sugar
2/3 cup water 
3/4 lb. anko (sweet azuki bean paste)


Preparation:

Make round shapes and flatten them. Put a spoonful of anko filling in the center of the dough. Wrap the anko by stretching the dough and make it round. Place each manju on a small cooking sheet.

[StupidGurl]

omg i love that! its really good. ;D
but sometimes i think its too sweet, other than that i like it.
it goes well with some tea.

I thought manju was just stuff with filling in the inside and mochi gashi was what all of these sweets were called as a whole? (or that's how I always interpreted it o_O because my grandma used to call chashu baus manjus but they weren't mochi gashi...)
my favorites are the ones with anko and the ones with the white beans (I don't know waht those are called)... I like the ones with the bread like the fourth from the bottom picture.

[xIchigo]

urm...actually most of those pics are wagashi, mochi, or those sorts.
manju is actually a steamed bum (usually) and just have red beanpaste in it

[redvelvet.]

Whoa. Momiji Manju is actually a manju? XD I thought it was something that Aoi from Gazette made up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUr1zYYwZIQ

Steamed bun with sweet pastes inside is...too sweet for me actually, but I think I'd give these a try lawl.
