Manju
$2.00
Soft steamed or baked cakes with a sweet red bean or white bean paste center — the shop's namesake item, made fresh daily in small batches
V
Warabi Mochi
$4.00
Bracken-starch mochi with a trembling, translucent texture, dusted in kinako — lighter and more delicate than glutinous rice mochi versions
V
Seasonal Wagashi
$3.00
Traditional Japanese sweets that rotate with the calendar — cherry blossom in spring, autumn leaf motifs in fall — made with the same restrained sweetness as the core menu
