Kogetsuan Tate Monaka
In the Shimodate area of Chikusei City, there is a Japanese sweet that has been loved since 1946: Kogetsuan's signature confection, "Tate Monaka." Inside the crispy, fragrant monaka shell, there is a generous amount of bean paste cooked with Tokachi adzuki beans from Hokkaido, featuring a subtle sweetness. A unique feature is the inclusion of chewy gyuhi hidden inside. It is a luxurious monaka where the texture of the shell, the smoothness of the bean paste, and the chewiness of the gyuhi all come together in one bite. It brilliantly won the Grand Prize at the 19th National Confectionery Expo. A substantial treat that represents Shimodate. Whether as an accompaniment to tea or a small gift—the reason it has been cherished for so long is clearly conveyed in a single bite.
