Manju Are Too Sweet For Me (2007-03-16)

My girlfriend gave me a box of mini Manju which is a slightly sweetened bun.  They are usually sweetened with dark sugar (hence the brown color) and then stuffed with sweet fillings such as red bean paste before they're steamed.

These Manju are more sweet than I like them to be.  I usually prefer savory snacks anyway, so perhaps my sugar tolerance isn't on par with the level accepted by the general public.  My girlfriend said these Manju only cost 10 Yen a pop, which makes the box of ten cost a mere 100Yen/US85 cents.  Wow, SWEET.
