The unchanging kindness,
In a word.

We deliver a solid taste that has won the “Achievement Award” and the simplicity and warmth of nature.
Mochi that brings smiles
The wish to bring smiles to the first generation
"Kimpiren" in its name.
Nagasawa Town, Takahai City, Okayama Prefecture. In 1905, the first Mikado Kinatari returned from the Russo-Japanese War. “I want to make sweet treats that bring smiles to the people in the community” — this was the driving force behind the confectionery business at Mikado Seikehonten. Later, the famous baked bun became the signature product, deeply rooted in the community as a symbol of his warm personality.
Kinro, affectionately known by his neighbors as "Kinkobei," gradually came to be called "Kinkobei Manju" out of respect. The "Famous Kinkobei" stamp proudly engraved on its surface has remained unchanged over the past two hundred years, still being meticulously pressed by artisans one by one.

The benefits of carefully selected beans
Forming a smooth mouthfeel
High-quality materials.
The heart of the Kinpei Manju is the homemade white bean paste with a refined sweetness that has no impurities. To create its rich flavor, we use only high-quality ingredients grown in the fertile soil of a climate-friendly region.
White bean paste is prepared by carefully selecting the quality of the ingredients. To achieve a smooth, mellow texture without being too thick, the artisans apply a strict eye from the very beginning of the selection process.
A workshop filled with fragrance
The gentle flavor of the custard dough
Simultaneously enveloping with exquisite fire control.
In the early morning when the silence still remains, the day's production begins with the meticulous craftsmanship of the artisans. Using a moist custard-like dough that boasts the luxurious flavor of eggs, they gently coat the freshly prepared white filling.
We carefully adjust the baking time to match the temperature and humidity of the day, resulting in a fluffy golden crust. Despite baking a large number of steamed buns every day, each one is crafted with the skill and dedication of our artisans.
A rich time for snacks
It blooms when it is warmed up,
Luxurious flavor created by skilled craftsmen.
These small, easy-to-eat buns are even more delicious when you add just a little extra effort at home. Simply open the individual packaging bag slightly and microwave it for about ten seconds to make the dough incredibly fluffy and soft.
Furthermore, if you lightly toast the surface with the oven toaster, the crust will become crispy and fragrant, releasing a rich aroma. Pour your favorite warm tea and enjoy a luxurious moment where your mind is at peace.
