Fukuoka's Popular Delicious Souvenir Earned Guinness World Record!

Hakata Torimon

       This week, I watched Japanese news which was that Hakata Torimon (博多通りもん) has earned a Guinness World Record for having the most annual sales in a new category dedicated to a bean paste bun! As I mentioned in my previous entry, 5 Best Delicious Souvenirs from Fukuoka, Hakata Torimon is manju (饅頭), a traditional Japanese confection, with a filling of delicious butter flavor white bean paste. It's always very popular confectionery from Fukuoka. It has also gotten the gold award of Monde Selection 19 years in a row! If you are planning on visiting Fukuoka, Japan, you should try this delicious Hakata Torimon! You can find these at souvenir stores of an airport, stations and highway service areas located in Fukuoka prefecture. You can also find more of popular souvenirs from Fukuoka in my previous entry.

       If you are planning on visiting Japan but don't have time to go to Fukuoka, you cannot find Hakata Torimon outside Fukuoka prefecture unfortunately. If you are not in Fukuoka, I recommend you to try Milk Anman (ミルク餡まん) from 7-Eleven convenience stores. I tried them and the taste was practically identical. ;) While Hakata Torimon can be only found in Fukuoka, 7-Eleven's Milk Anman can be purchased at 7-Eleven convenience stores located all over Japan.
