Shiromatsu ga Monaka Honpo - Monaka Dainagon
With a single bite, the fragrant wafer shell crunches, and the plump Dainagon red bean paste overflows. Shiromatsu ga Monaka Honpo is a long-established Japanese confectionery shop founded in Sendai in 1932. Their signature product, Monaka Dainagon, is a masterpiece featuring a generous amount of Hokkaido red bean (Dainagon) paste inside a wafer baked with glutinous rice grown on their own farm. The 'ga' in the product name is a possessive particle meaning 'our,' reflecting the founder's dedication to prefixing all products with 'Shiromatsu ga' (belonging to Shiromatsu). This large-sized monaka, made with meticulous attention to every ingredient—the shell, the glutinous rice, and the bean paste—is incredibly satisfying. The natural flavor of the red beans lives within its sweetness. As a staple Sendai souvenir, it has been loved across generations as an accompaniment to tea or as a gift. Please try it for yourself.
