Nakagawa Masashichi Shoten Shika Monaka

A palm-sized deer-shaped monaka filled with refreshing gelato. Nakagawa Masashichi Shoten's Shika Monaka is a new takeout sweet born at the Nara main store. Founded in 1716, Nakagawa Masashichi Shoten is a long-established shop that has dealt in Nara-sarashi (hemp cloth). This Shika Monaka has gained popularity as a signature product of the Nara main store, 'Shika Saru Kitsune Building.' It is the shop's first takeout sweet, featuring deer-shaped monaka shells filled with gelato made from Nara-grown Koto-hana strawberries or roasted green tea (hojicha). You can enjoy the combination of the fragrant monaka shell and the cold, smooth gelato. It is the perfect companion for strolling through the streets of Nara. This is a unique treat that you can only find here, allowing you to taste it freshly made.

  • Honke Kikuya Shika Monaka

    Monaka wafers featuring a deer brand, baked by Nara's oldest confectionery shop founded in 1585. The balance between the crispy shell and the elegant smooth red bean paste is exquisite, and the box adorned with the Bachira pattern from the Shosoin Repository is also beautiful.
