HIGASHIYA Monaka - Tanba Tsubu-an
Adorable, bite-sized confections. Various ingredients are gently wrapped in different types of bean paste, allowing you to enjoy a unique texture and flavor with every piece. Each bite offers a small discovery. HIGASHIYA is a Japanese confectionery brand established in 2003 by Shinichiro Ogata in Nakameguro, Tokyo. These 'bite-sized fruits' (hito-kuchi kashi) are created with reflections on the origins of 'kashi' (confectionery), which was originally written as 'kashi' (fruit), referring to the ancient practice of eating dried fruits and nuts. It is a masterpiece that beautifully translates Japanese culture into the modern era. With its sophisticated appearance and subtle flavor, it is a new kind of Japanese confectionery souvenir that invites conversation.
