Kine no Monaka
A fragrant monaka (wafer sandwich) shaped like a mortar (kine). This is a classic Japanese confection produced by Kineya Honten, an established Yamagata shop founded in 1811. Kineya Honten began when its founder sold manju to visitors of Kumano Taisha Shrine, and has continued the art of confectionery making for over 200 years. This monaka is made by blending glutinous rice from Saga and Okayama prefectures, which is immediately processed into mochi after milling and then baked into a mortar-shaped shell. Inside is homemade bean paste, hand-packed one by one. The fragrant shell and the elegantly sweet, subtle bean paste harmonize beautifully. With its calm flavor, it is perfect for tea ceremonies or as a gift for superiors. It is a product that allows you to experience the true skill of Yamagata's Japanese confectionery.
