France Minato-ya Wakasagi Monaka
The 'Wakasagi Monaka' made by France Minato-ya in Tohoku Town, Kamikita District, is an adorable monaka that will surely bring a smile to your face. Lake Ogawara, located nearby, is a treasure lake known as a prime fishing ground for wakasagi (smelt). This fish-shaped monaka, shaped like the star of the lake—the wakasagi—is filled with plenty of bean paste. It is also wonderful that it can be easily purchased for around 100 yen per piece. The fragrant monaka shell pairs well with the elegant sweetness of the bean paste. The package includes a humorous warning: 'They may swim, so please eat quickly,' which invites a smile from the recipient. This item is packed with the bounty of Lake Ogawara and the warm playfulness of the local confectionery shop.
