With the onset of the first flush of autumn, we are blessed with an
abundant harvest of fruits and nuts of increased sweetness and sheen.
Our Tsuyaguri is a seasonal sweet that we have made by wrapping a soft
layer of kinton (a mashed sweet potato paste) around a whole Japanese
chestnut still enveloped in its gently astringent inner skin that we
have thoroughly marinated in a deliciously sweet syrup.

We
bring you this sweet by carefully and individually wrapping a special
chestnut bean paste that brings to life the original, natural sweetness
of the Japanese chestnut, with kinton (a mashed sweet potato bean paste)
that we created with a moderate and subtle sweetness and using only
the most carefully selected adzuki beans.

So that you can best enjoy the delicious flavor of fresh monaka, we
have wrapped the monaka wafers and bean jam separately. The harmony
of the pleasantly fragrant, crisp monaka wafers and the light taste
of the fresh adzuki bean jam! We offer you the flavor of monaka that
is only available when they are put together by hand just before eating.
How to prepare your monaka:
|
|
|
| Tsuya |
|
Tsuya -- our mikasa yaki (a type of Japanese pound cake), made with
plentiful quantities of select adzuki beans from the bountiful plains
of Hokkaido -- the northern island of Japan. We sandwich lustrous adzuki
beans, slowly and gently simmered to perfection, in between mikasa yaki
that have been mildly sweetened with traditional Japanese sugar. Our
mikasa yaki, made with an exquisitely harmonized adzuki bean jam that
has been only lightly sweetened and a plump dough, taste pleasant and
mild.
Please eat these sweets within one to two days after opening so that they do not spoil.
