Odawara Castle Town Monaka
A monaka (wafer sandwich) themed after the castle town of Odawara Castle. The filling packed tightly inside the crispy shell will delight any lover of Japanese sweets. Odawara is a historic town that flourished as the castle town of the Hojo clan, who expanded their influence throughout the Kanto region during the Warring States period. It is also known for its grand defense system called 'Sogamae,' which surrounded the entire castle town. This Castle Town Monaka reflects that history and elegance in a confection, featuring carefully cooked bean paste tucked into fragrant monaka wafers. The deliciousness unique to monaka comes from the combination of the light texture of the shell and the elegant sweetness of the moist bean paste. It is a Japanese sweet you'll want to enjoy slowly with warm tea after visiting the Odawara Castle keep.
