Unpeido Honten Hagi Monaka
Among the famous confections that have been long loved in the land of Hitachi is Unpeido Honten's "Hagi Monaka." Founded in Keio 4 (1868), Unpeido Honten is a long-established shop with a history of supplying sweets to the Imperial Family. The Hagi Monaka features a fragrant monaka shell, with the roasting adjusted seasonally, filled with smooth red bean paste cooked with adzuki beans from Tokachi, Hokkaido. To maintain the crispy texture of the shell, the moisture content of the bean paste is exquisitely adjusted through craftsmanship cultivated over many years. With its instant aroma upon entering the mouth and the elegant sweetness of the bean paste, it is a representative souvenir of Hitachi where the shell and filling harmonize beautifully. It is a comforting treat that you'll want to enjoy alongside a cup of tea.
