Sakura Monaka

Monaka is a traditional wagashi made of crisp, wafer-thin shells made from mochi, then filled with smooth, sweet bean paste. In this seasonal sakura version, smooth red bean paste is kneaded with sakura leaf powder. The contrast between the delicate crunch and the soft, smooth filling creates a satisfying texture with every bite. A gentle sakura leaf aroma adds a subtle seasonal touch to this classic Japanese confection. Perfect to enjoy during an afternoon tea time.
