A present from the Kyokutei Bakin duo.

The package consists of a (very) short story personally penned by Bakin, and mizu (water) manjyu made by his daugher-in-law Omichi. The short story is titled "An Impromptu Tale of Karudea," describing absurd flights of fancy shared with their Master. Please read it while you enjoy the accompanying adorable, chewy, jiggly mizu manjyu treats.
