Pretty sure it's oyaki, a dumpling that Nagano is famous for.

I beg to differ. Happy

The hiragana in the circle: まんじゅう

It's manjū.

The next set of hiragana is かりんとう (karintō) and these manjyuu have molasses, which would explain its deep brown colour as opposed to the lighter colour of the oyaki.

Pardon the tongue-in-cheek title of this website:

Ain't Google great?

Interesting. It looks more bread-like in texture than the little manju I've been exposed to.
