Bessho Seika Matcha Monaka Wafer Sandwich 190g

Monaka (最中) is a traditional Japanese sweet, or wagashi, consisting of a sweet filling sandwiched between two crisp, light wafers made from mochi rice flour. This version from Bessho Seika features a rich filling made with authentic Uji matcha green tea and sweet red bean paste, offering a delicate balance of earthy bitterness and gentle sweetness. The airy, melt-in-your-mouth texture of the wafer provides a satisfying contrast to the smooth, dense filling. It is a classic treat to enjoy during an afternoon break with a cup of green tea, such as sencha or genmaicha. To maintain the crispness of the wafers, store the monaka in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This style of confectionary is a beloved staple in Japanese households and makes a thoughtful gift for anyone interested in Japanese culture and cuisine.
