is a traditional Japanese confection, usually a small, dense bun with a sweet filling. They come in many shapes and varieties.
The standard manjū has a skin made of flour, and is filled with anko (sweet azuki bean paste). Some varieties use kudzu starch or buckwheat flour for the skin. Other types of filling include sweet potato, chestnut jam, or custard.
