Sodegaura Monaka (Koshian)” highlights the refined smoothness of carefully sieved azuki bean paste. The paste is cooked cleanly without impurities, providing a light sweetness that melts in the mouth. Combined with the toasted monaka wafers, the delicate flavours are further enhanced, leaving a refreshingly clean aftertaste.

Like the tsubuan version, it originated about 100 years ago in Meiji 24, when Ichikawa Danjuro IX, a billiard companion of the then head of Shiose, gave the sweet its name. It was sold alongside the kabuki play Shibaraku, and the Shiose banner promoted it. Its deliciousness made it a huge success from the start.

The wafers and bean paste are separate, so you can assemble them just before eating, enjoying a fresh, crisp taste. Its long shelf life also makes it ideal for gifts.
