Kenji Monaka Honpo Suehiro: Kenji Monaka 'Kaze no Matasaburo'
A famous confection from Hanamaki's 'Kenji Monaka Honpo Suehiro,' inspired by Kenji Miyazawa's masterpiece fairy tale, 'Kaze no Matasaburo.' Hanamaki is known as the birthplace of Kenji. When Suehiro was founded in 1955, they obtained permission from the Miyazawa family—Kenji's actual family—to begin making monaka associated with Kenji. 'Kaze no Matasaburo' is crafted in an easy-to-eat rectangular shape, and its charm lies in the ability to enjoy three different flavors: smooth red bean, white bean, and sesame bean. Inside the crispy, fragrant shell is a generous amount of bean paste. It is a confection that carries the scent of the story, as if the winds of Ihatov are softly blowing through. It is a perfect gift for Kenji lovers or a wonderful souvenir from a trip to Hanamaki.
