Kiyome Mochi Sohonten Maruhachi Monaka
This is a monaka (wafer sandwich) from Kiyome Mochi Sohontel, a beloved confection of Owari Nagoya. Kiyome Mochi Sohonten began in 1935 when the founder, seeing the rice cake souvenirs lined up on the approach to Ise Grand Shrine, wished, "I want the same thing for Atsuta," and created "Kiyome Mochi." This long-established shop's Maruhachi Monaka is shaped like the auspicious number "eight" (hachi), symbolizing prosperity. Since the Nagoya city emblem also features an "eight," it embodies the hope of becoming Nagoya's number one confection. It features a crispy, fragrant wafer filled generously with bean paste carefully cooked from Hokkaido adzuki beans. The assortment includes three flavors inspired by Nagoya's performing arts, making it a monaka you will want to savor slowly while feeling the history of Atsuta.
