Marukiya Castle Monaka
A monaka (wafer sandwich) shaped like Morioka Castle, truly representative of a castle town. Crafted by Marukiya, a long-established shop in Morioka, this visually delightful treat is filled with plenty of sweet bean paste inside a wafer shell shaped like the castle. Morioka Castle, also known as 'Furukawa Castle,' was built in the center of the castle town of Morioka as the residence of the Nanbu clan. Today, the site is beloved as Morioka Castle Park, where stone walls remain and serve as a place of relaxation for citizens. The joy lies in being able to reminisce about this historic castle through a sweet. The balance between the crispy monaka shell and the moderately sweet bean paste is pleasant, making it a perfect accompaniment to tea. It is one of Marukiya's signature confections, meant to be enjoyed while tasting the history of Morioka.
