Furusato Honpo Heike Monaka
A crispy skin with a savory aroma unique to 100% glutinous rice. One bite reveals the elegant sweetness of Hokkaido red beans. Produced by "Furusato Honpo," the only Japanese confectionery shop in Yunishigawa Onsen. This area is a village where it is said that the remnants of the Heike clan, defeated in the Genpei War, lived in hiding. The monaka features two embossed crests: the Heike family crest "Maru-ni-Ageha" (circle with swallowtail) and the "Maru-ni-Katagane" (circle with cinquefoil), which was allegedly used by the fugitives to hide their identity. A story of history is softly engraved into the sweet. Another charm is that no additives are used, preserving the true taste of the ingredients. This is a prestigious confection that has been cherished as an accompaniment to tea at hot spring inns.
