I met an old woman on the street. She asked me for directions, and we talked for about an hour. Before she left, she gave me a manju. It was a karinto manju. It is my favorite sweet, so I was very happy.✨My mother’s hometown is in Akita. The manju tasted like the karinto manju I always buy when I visit Akita. It made me miss Akita very much‼︎
