Tennozan Monaka

This monaka is filled with historical romance, named after the site of a great historical divide. The 'Tennozan Monaka' of Oyamazaki Town is a famous confection bearing the name of this legendary landmark. Tennozan is the mountain overlooking the area surrounding the 'Battle of Yamazaki.' In 1582 (Tensho 10), this was the stage where Akechi Mitsuhide, who killed Oda Nobunaga in the Honno-ji Incident, clashed with Hashiba Hideyoshi, who had returned from the Chugoku region with incredible speed. Because this battle determined Hideyoshi's path to unifying Japan, major turning points in a struggle are still referred to as 'Tennozan' today. With its crispy shell and generous amount of bean paste, this monaka is the perfect gift for history lovers. We invite you to taste the stories etched into Oyamazaki through this sweet treat.
