Mangjyu - Koyasan

Vegetarian meals are on the lighter side so more room for me to snack.

Not much to snack on in Koyasan, not much stuff to eat outside the monasteries, except maybe the Mangjyu. Springy, mochi-esque texture but a little more firm. Sweet red bean filling, an adorable little niblet, buried in banana-leaf. At only 140 yen per mangjyu, it's impossible to have just one.
