Miyakin Komamanju Confectionery's Birthday (Aomori Prefecture)

It is said that on September 27, 1908 , when the then Crown Prince , who would later become Emperor Taisho, visited a stud farm in Shichinohe Town, Aomori Prefecture, he ordered sake manju (steamed buns filled with red bean paste) and, through his chamberlain, named them "Koma Manju" (horse manju)

In keeping with this origin, Miyakin Confectionery Co., Ltd., headquartered in Shichinohe Town, has designated September 27th as "Miyakin Confectionery Komamanju Birthday . "

With the aim of introducing Komamamanju, a specialty of Shichinohe, to more people and allowing them to enjoy its taste, it was certified and registered by the Japan Anniversary Association in 2020

Miyakin Confectionery Co., Ltd., which established the commemorative day, ceased operations in February 2025, bringing to a close its history of over 160 years

Currently,Aiseido (formerly Tajyu Confectionery),, is the only place that continues to uphold this tradition.
