Yanagiya Hozen Suzu Monaka
The "Suzu Monaka" is an elegant monaka produced by the long-established Matsusaka shop Yanagiya Hozen. It is a refined confection inspired by a great figure associated with this land. Motoori Norinaga, the scholar born in Matsusaka, was known to have a profound love for bells. Legend has it that when he grew tired from research in his study, he would ring old bells to refresh his mind—inspired by this anecdote, shells shaped like bells were created. Four types of bell-shaped shells are filled with bean paste made using fresh seaweed from Ise Bay and white adzuki bean paste. With its adorable bell shape and the flavorful duo of bean pastes, this monaka offers a sense of Matsusaka's charm and history, perfect for enjoying while reflecting on the great Edo scholar Motoori Norinaga.
