Bessho Seika Yuzu Monaka Rice Wafer Snack 190g

Yuzu Monaka (柚子最中) is a traditional Japanese sweet, or wagashi, consisting of a citrus-flavoured bean paste filling sandwiched between two delicate, crisp wafers made from mochi rice. This version from Bessho Seika features a smooth, sweet white bean paste (shiro-an) brightly infused with the aromatic and tangy flavour of Japanese yuzu citrus. The light, airy texture of the monaka wafers provides a satisfying contrast to the dense, fragrant filling. These individually wrapped sweets are a classic choice for serving alongside a cup of green tea, such as sencha or matcha, offering a refined treat for an afternoon break. To maintain the crispness of the wafers, store the package in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This snack is a wonderful introduction to the world of Japanese wagashi, ideal for those who enjoy subtle, fruit-forward desserts and traditional confections.
