Tiger Red Seal Monaka
When you crack open the crisp monaka shell, what appears inside is glossy, slow-cooked Dainagon adzuki bean paste. The light, fragrant texture of the shell and the elegant sweetness of the bean paste melt in your mouth—this is Odawara's famous Tiger Red Seal Monaka. Its shape is modeled after the 'Tiger Red Seal' used as an official seal by the Hojo clan, a powerful Sengoku-period daimyo. The shell is baked using 100% golden glutinous rice from Niigata and filled with carefully simmered Dainagon beans from Hokkaido, accompanied by soft gyuhi (sweet rice cake). As the signature confection of the long-established Shoeido, it has also been certified as a designated confection of Kanagawa Prefecture. Perfect as an accompaniment to tea or as a souvenir. It is a delicacy from Odawara that lets you taste history.
