Kanazawa Urata Kaga Hachiman Okari Monaka
Plump, round, and smiling. Just holding it makes you smile; that is the 'Kaga Hachiman Okari Monaka.' It is shaped after the 'Kaga Hachiman Okari,' a traditional lucky charm toy from Kaga. These dolls have long been given to wish for the healthy growth of children, and each monaka is wrapped in a deep crimson paper. Inside, it is filled with plenty of smooth red bean paste made from Hokkaido adzuki beans. It pairs perfectly with the fragrant monaka wafer. When you crack the crisp shell, an elegantly sweet bean paste is revealed. Because of its auspicious nature—symbolizing rising up no matter how many times one falls—it is perfect as a gift for baby showers or celebrations. It is a long-beloved staple Kanazawa souvenir.
