Kura no Koibumi (Love Letter to the Storehouse)
A monaka (wafer) snack born in the Little Edo of Kawagoe, where storehouse-style streets continue, making you want to tuck it away in your pocket. It features a fragrant, baked shell made from domestic glutinous rice, enveloping a soft filling of azuki beans cooked from Tokachi, Hokkaido. Kawagoe flourished as a castle town and merchant town during the Edo period, and is a popular tourist destination where white-walled storehouses still line the streets. This item is shaped like those atmospheric storehouses, and inside the bean paste, soft mochi is hidden, creating a harmony of bean paste, mochi, and fragrant shell in every bite. As the name "Love Letter to the Storehouse" suggests, it is a confection through which you can softly entrust your feelings for the recipient. It is an exquisite item that pairs perfectly with tea and serves as a wonderful souvenir for loved ones to remember their stroll through Kawagoe.
