Fugu Monaka (Pufferfish Wafer)
The plump figure of the pufferfish is incredibly charming. This is Moji Umeen's 'Fugu Monaka,' which captures the pufferfish culture of the Kanmon area in a Japanese confection. Pufferfish is a representative flavor of winter in Kanmon. This monaka, shaped like the fish, is a masterpiece that won the Minister of Agriculture and Forestry Award at the 1956 Japanese Confectionery Craft Exhibition. Each piece is hand-filled with bean paste made from slow-cooked Dainagon adzuki beans from Tokachi, Hokkaido, inside a fragrant baked skin made from Saga glutinous rice. Umeen's philosophy also includes serious confectionery making without using preservatives or additives. With its fragrant skin, the elegant sweetness of Dainagon adzuki beans, and its charming appearance, this is a monaka that Kitakyushu is proud of, combining fun with authentic flavor.
