What is Sanmangoku?
Sanmangoku Co., Ltd. is a long-established confectionery manufacturer in Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture. Since our founding in 1946, we have continued to make sweets using only the highest quality raw materials, based on the philosophy advocated by our founder, Sosuke Ikeda, that "quality raw materials come before technology."
Among them, ``Mamadoru'', which was released in 1967, was a big hit. It has gained fans not only among Fukushima residents but also nationwide.
What is Mamadoru?
Mamadoru is a famous confectionery representing Sanmangoku. This sweet is named after the Spanish word for "baby drinking". The lyrics of the TV commercial song, which is familiar to Fukushima residents, is ``Mama's taste with plenty of milk.'' It's an expression unique to sweets that use plenty of high-quality milk.
A thin and moist dough made with plenty of butter. The inside is stuffed with sweet and milky bean paste. It is neither dry nor hard, making it easy to eat for everyone from children to the elderly. The creamy taste goes well not only with coffee and tea, but also with milk.
In addition to the standard Mama Doru, chocolate-flavored ``Chocolate Mama Doru'' is also available for a limited time from October to May every year. The gentle, milky sweetness combined with the moistness of the chocolate makes it an addictive dish. This is also recommended.
