: Crochet & Sweets: A Taste of Hokkaido, Vol.5 "Tsukisamu Anpan"

I've been updating my "Crochet with Hokkaido Sweets" series quite frequently lately, but perhaps I'm using this as an excuse to buy another snack! It's a small, manju-sized bun, but with an irresistible name: "Tsukisamu Anpan." Isn't it cute when you think of it as an anpan? This is another Hokkaido sweet that's been around for a long time.
