Kuretake Monaka
A monaka (wafer sandwich) that has been loved for a long time in Sakata, a port town that flourished with the Kitamaebune shipping routes. During the Edo period, Sakata was a commercial hub that prospered greatly through maritime transport on the Sea of Japan and was home to the Honma family, known as 'Japan's greatest landowners.' It was a wealthy town where rice and safflower were transported to the Kamigata region, facilitating an exchange of elegant culture. 'Kuretake Monaka' conveys this nurtured confectionery culture to the present day. Featuring a crispy, fragrant wafer shell filled with plenty of elegantly sweet bean paste, one bite will make you reminisce about the bustle of the past. It is a product where Sakata's tradition lives on, perfect to enjoy slowly with tea. It is one of Sakata's representative famous sweets, passed down through generations.
