Kaki Monaka
These are round and adorable monaka wafers shaped like persimmons. Their cuteness is enough to make you smile the moment you hold one in your palm. This is a confection unique to Katsuragi Town, a famous persimmon-producing area located at the foot of Mount Koya. In this town, which enjoys the bounties of fruit trees through products like dried persimmons (anpo-gaki) and walnut mochi, this Japanese sweet was created using the local symbol—the persimmon—as its motif. The monaka shell is generously filled with elegant white bean paste. The combination of the crispy shell and smooth bean paste makes it perfect as a treat to accompany tea when you want to take a relaxing break. It is a souvenir unique to the 'Fruit Kingdom' of Katsuragi Town, offering joy in both appearance and taste. If you visit during the persimmon season, please be sure to try it.
