What is Sanmankoku?

Sanmangoku Co., Ltd. is a long-established confectionery manufacturer in Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture.

Among them, "Mamadooru," which was first released in 1967, was a big hit, gaining fans not only among Fukushima residents but across the country

What is Mamadoru?

Mamadoru is a famous confectionery that represents Sanmangoku. It is named after the Spanish phrase "child drinking milk." The lyrics of the TV commercial song familiar to Fukushima residents are "The taste of mom's milk, with plenty of it." This is an expression that can only be expressed in a confectionery that uses plenty of high-quality milk

The dough is thin and moist, made with plenty of butter. The inside is filled with a sweet, milky bean paste. It is neither dry nor hard, making it easy for people of all ages to eat. Its creamy flavor goes well with coffee, tea, or even milk

In addition to the standard Mamadoru, they also sell the chocolate-flavored "Chocolate Mamadoru" for a limited time from October to May every year. The gentle, milky sweetness combined with the moist texture of chocolate makes this an addictive treat. This is also highly recommended
