Shogi Monaka
A fragrant, toasted monaka shell shaped like Shogi pieces. When you take a crisp bite, high-quality red bean paste packed tightly inside flows out with an elegant sweetness. It offers a refined sweetness that is perfect to enjoy with tea. Tendo is a 'Shogi Town' that produces over 90% of the nation's Shogi pieces. It is said that the craft of making these pieces began during the Edo period, when it was encouraged as a side job for samurai. This monaka, shaped like the pieces, was born from the playful spirit unique to this land. With its aromatic shell and carefully simmered bean paste, it is delightful to look at and delicious to eat—an adorable souvenir that lets you take a piece of the Shogi Town, Tendo, home with you.
