Jūmangoku Manjū (十万石まんじゅう)

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。
