Kusunoki Monaka of Kawachinagano
Kusunoki Masashige was a military commander who maintained his loyalty to the end during the Nanboku-cho period. In front of Kanshin-ji Temple in Kawachinagano, where he spent his childhood, the 'Kusunoki Monaka' bearing his name has been long cherished. Kanshin-ji is the temple where Masashige studied from age 8 to 15, and it also serves as his mortuary temple. It is known as the place where the head of Masashige, who fell at the Battle of Minatogawa, was buried, and even today, locals affectionately revere him as 'Dai-Kusunoki' (the Great Kusunoki). This monaka is a Japanese sweet inspired by such deep historical romance. It is a simple yet flavorful treat, featuring a generous amount of bean paste wrapped in a fragrant wafer. Please enjoy it slowly while reflecting on the distant history in this land associated with Masashige.
