🎌 Frog Bun (Aoyagi Sohonke)

The Frog Bun is a popular product launched by "Aoyagi Sohonke." The main store of "Aoyagi Sohonke" is located in Osu, Naka Ward, Nagoya, and it is the most famous shop for "Uirou" (a type of Japanese sweet) in Nagoya. The frog-shaped design, themed around the trademark "Frog Flying Towards the Willow Leaf," is very cute. The mouth and eyes of the Frog Bun are all hand-stamped one by one, making it a delicately crafted snack. The moist outer skin is filled with red bean paste. Additionally, seasonal limited flavors such as rich and less sweet matcha filling are also offered. The Japanese word for frog, "カエル" (kaeru), sounds the same as the Japanese word for "to return," "帰る" (kaeru), so this snack also carries the auspicious meaning of "returning home safely after a trip or business trip." In addition to this product, Aoyagi Sohonke also manufactures and sells "Aoyagi Uirou" and "Aoyagi Ogura Red Bean Sandwich Cookies," which are very suitable as souvenirs from Nagoya.

The adorable frog-shaped treat is super popular! It contains high-quality red bean paste filling, and the seasonal flavors are not to be missed. This snack, which carries the auspicious meaning of "safe return home," is quite suitable as a gift for business trips or travels.
