Okiagari Monaka
An auspicious sweet imbued with the wishes of a Daruma doll: no matter how many times it falls, it gets back up. Okiagari Monaka is a famous confection from Gifu. It is said that its name is linked to the words 'I am truly an Okiagari Monaka,' allegedly uttered by Oda Nobunaga during his conquest of Inabayama Castle (now Gifu Castle) (though various theories exist). Each piece embodies the positive wish to stand up again, no matter how many setbacks one faces. The monaka shell, baked in a Daruma shape, is packed with bean paste. They are finished with adorable expressions designed to bring a smile to anyone who receives them. With its crispy shell and gentle sweetness of the bean paste, it is the perfect item for a gift intended to bring good luck.
