Discovery of Happy Madeleine ♡
Look at this! What does this sweet look like??
It has the shape of taiyaki, but it also looks like ningyo-yaki since it seems small...
Actually, this sweet is a madeleine shaped like a fish called tai (sea bream) ♡
While the mainstream madeleines are shaped like shells, it’s interesting that there are such rare shapes of madeleines too*
Tai is a symbol of celebration, making this truly the most “happy madeleine” in Japan ♡
The product name is "Mangan Joju"*
This adorable tai-shaped madeleine is called "Mangan Joju" and is produced by "Bairindo," a long-established Japanese and Western confectionery shop in Kumagaya, Saitama, which has been in business for over 150 years since 1864*
"Mangan" means that the days of prayers to deities and buddhas are fulfilled,
while "Joju" signifies the realization of wishes*
It is said that this sweet is made with the intention that “the wishes of those who eat Mangan Joju will be fulfilled and they will find happiness” ♡
Mangan Joju is filled with good fortune ♡
Mangan Joju is not only shaped like the lucky tai but is also a celebratory sweet that comes in red and white ♡
The white part is made of yokan (sweet bean jelly) filling,
and the red part has a strawberry flavor♩
It's rare to have a madeleine filled with yokan! The madeleine dough combines with the yokan, creating a melt-in-your-mouth texture ♡
The red and white Mangan Joju, which brings good luck, seems to bring happiness to the person who receives it ♡
It’s recommended as a small gift for weddings or when visiting your partner's parents and relatives for a wedding greeting*
