Miyajima, pt. 4

A Miyajima monk invented a wooden spoon to cook rice without impairing its taste. This rice paddle is not only a tribute to the monk but also the largest rice paddle in the world.
I really like this picture because I think it's sweet. All the lovely ladies look to be in a delightful mood.
Adam and I take a gander at the Miyajima specialty, oysters! Delicious!

Miyajima is also famous for its version of manju, a traditional Japanese confection that can best be described as a fried rice cake filled with sweet red bean (azuki) paste. The Miyajima version is called Momiji Manju since it's shaped like a Maple leaf and the Japanese Maple (Momiji) is very common in Miyajima.

This makes you sound like a pedophile at best.
