A souvenir : Senba Kotanuki

Hello.
This is May in Japan.

I received a souvenir from my work colleagues.
Today I'd like to introduce the souvenir.


This is "Senba Kotanuki".
This is a souvenir from Kumamoto prefecture.


It is a steamed bun shaped like the face of raccoon.
Kotanuki means raccoon of child.
Senba is a kind of area, the area is famous of the children's song, "Anta gata Dokosa".
The children's song begins with raccoon.


It is a bite-sized steamed bun which filled with white bean jam.
This is sweet and delicious.
