o.o That's genius, sir! Genius! You've opened up a new field in hypothetical yukkuri health care entirely! Gone are the old days of laboriously cutting open yukkuris and extracting lumps of contaminated smelly filling!
It'd have to be a pretty high concentration of alcohol, since alot of species of fungi are partially resistant to alcohol as a byproduct of their own metabolism, but we know that alcohol doesn't kill yukkuris. Assuming that mold kills yukkuris by replacing their tissues with mold biomass, the alcohol would kill all the mold cells while leaving the yukkuri unharmed, and then the yukkuri would absorb the dead mold cells into their paste!

Wouldn't you need to leave the yu's in alcohol for a loooooong time until it kicks in? I think that would melt the yu or worse if there is some other negative effect on pastries being in alcohol for so long.
At least the medical alcohol, dunno if there are negative outcomes for manjuu's being put in wine and similar stuff, but I doubt that would kill the mold.

Mix some orange juice concentrate, and you should be good to go. See anko2992 for specifics.
