Momiji manju [もみじ饅頭]. A maple leaf-shaped manju. Also nicknamed "momiman", it is the specialty of Itsukushima (also known as Miyajima) of Hiroshima. This was said to be created by a local sweets maker Takatsu Tsunesuke in 1906 during the Meiji era. It is said that he was compelled to create an original product to be presented to some visiting high-end dignitaries (which included the then crown princes of Japan and Korea), and thus, momji manju was born.
