Unpeido Honten Ume Koen
A chestnut-filled monaka made by Unpeido Honten, a long-established shop in Hitachi/Omika. Alongside the shop's signature 'Omika Manju,' which dates back to the first year of the Meiji era, this has been a staple in gift assortments. Its name is inspired by the famous plum groves in Hitachi. This item captures an autumnal atmosphere, with elegant bean paste and chestnuts enclosed within a fragrant, baked monaka shell. The charm lies in its heartfelt preparation, characteristic of a long-standing shop that carefully performs manual processes, making it a popular choice for celebrations and seasonal gifts. With the crisp fragrance of the shell and the fluffy sweetness of the chestnut, this is an elegant Japanese sweet with a refined taste that is enjoyed both as a snack with tea and as a gift.
