Minato-ya Ume Monaka
A pride of the long-established Minato-ya in Shirahama, this monaka features the gentle aroma of Nanko plums. Founded in 1935, Minato-ya has incorporated freeze-dried Kishu specialty Nanko plums into white bean paste. Because no artificial flavorings are used, the refreshing flavor of the plum itself spreads directly across the palate. It is one of the representative Japanese sweets of Shirahama, standing alongside our signature 'Yuzu Monaka.' This is a unique creation only possible from Minato-ya, a venerable shop renowned for making Japanese confectionery that utilizes local Wakayama ingredients. The compatibility between the crispy monaka shell and the elegant white bean paste, with its subtle plum acidity, is exceptional. It provides a moment of relaxation when enjoyed with tea. We highly recommend it as a souvenir from Shirahama.
