Jūmangoku Manjū
Today, I bought jūmangoku manjū (十万石まんじゅう), a famous sweet of Saitama Prefecture.
Since jūman (十万) means "a hundred thousand," goku/koku (石) is the old unit of currency, which is now about 50,000 yen, and manjū (まんじゅう) is a kind of traditional Japanese cake, the literal meaning of jūmangoku manjū is "about five billion yen manjū."
I also bought a jūman gold manjū (10万ゴールドまんじゅう), a collaborative product with "Dragon Quest Walk" (the ingredients are the same as those of 'jūmangoku manjū').
According to Yuji Horii, the creator of Dragon Quest, the in-game currency "G (Gold)" is equivalent to about 100 yen.
That is to say, jūman gold manjū means "about ten million yen manjū."

十万石まんじゅう
私は今日、埼玉県の名物「十万石まんじゅう」を買いました。
「十万」は "a hundred thousand" を意味し、「石」は昔の通貨単位で現在の「約5万円」、「まんじゅう」は和菓子の一種であるため、「十万石まんじゅう」の文字どおりの意味は "about five billion yen manjū" （「約50億円まんじゅう」）となります。
同時に、ドラゴンクエストウォークというアプリゲームとのコラボ商品、「10万ゴールドまんじゅう」も買いました（中身は同じです）。
ドラクエの通貨である「ゴールド」は、ドラクエの生みの親である堀井雄二氏によると、「約100円」であるようです。
つまり「10万ゴールドまんじゅう」は、「約1000万円まんじゅう」というわけです。
