Agemaki Monaka
This is an Isahaya-style monaka shaped like the elongated form of the 'Agemaki' (carpet shell clam), which once thrived in the Ariake Sea. Kusano Kashipo created this out of the first generation's desire to preserve local memories. While Agemaki clams were a specialty of the Ariake Sea, they have become rare even in Isahaya Bay due to the effects of land reclamation. We have captured the form of this clam in a crispy, fragrant monaka shell about 10cm long. Inside, there are two types of filling: freshly prepared Ogura (red bean) paste and Matcha paste. The generously filled paste spreads with a moist sweetness. This monaka entrusts both the blessings of the Ariake Sea and the history of Isahaya into one piece. It is a nostalgic flavor that has been loved locally for over 60 years.
