[Momiji Monaka] Monaka Pea

Traditional Japanese snacks to enjoy at home [Momiji Monaca] Monaca Blood

Monaka is made by putting red bean paste between the thinly baked cookie shells made by kneading glutinous rice. It is a traditional Japanese snack. It is often thought of as a dessert for the elderly, but when made properly, Monaca can be found in famous bakeries and high-end Japanese restaurants. Now, enjoy it at home. Monaca Pie, produced in an authentic way in Kanazawa, famous for its tradition and history, is conveniently stored in a vacuum-packed can instead of red beans. Also great as a gift.

A light moon on a plate The origins of monaka date back to the Heian period. At moon-viewing banquets held in the royal palace, the royal family served white round glutinous rice cakes on a plate. It is said that it was called monaka no tsuki (最中の月, moon in the middle), and since then, the latter part has been omitted and it is called monaka. Curly has prepared monaka skin separately so that you can enjoy a luxurious dessert at home.
Monaca skin, made in an authentic way, is called 'Little Kyoto' because it retains its old flavor and history. Made from Hokuriku rice, a famous rice producing region, it is thin and crispy, melts in your mouth, and has a slightly sweet and nutty flavor that goes well with red beans and other ingredients.
