Kamaishi Monaka Sable - Ayu Bijin
This is a famous confection from Kamaishi that features sweetfish (ayu) swimming in the clear Koshi River—the very river that won the National Ayu Tasting Competition—transformed into an adorable treat. It is a fusion of Japanese and Western styles, featuring sable dough baked inside monaka shells shaped like sweetfish. Produced by Kojima Seika, founded in 1945, this product is carefully crafted using local Hitomebore rice flour from Kamaishi and eggs from Iwate Prefecture. Its charm lies in the unique texture that allows you to enjoy both the fragrant monaka shell and the buttery, crispy sable at once. This item embodies a deep connection to the land, reflecting the thought that the clear waters that raised Japan's number one sweetfish lead directly to the sea of Kamaishi. The gentle pink and white packaging is also lovely, making it a perfect souvenir from Kamaishi.
