There are Monaka which modelled cherry blossoms and a plum . It is a happy wagashi in hope of peace continuing.
White bean jam is in pink monaka, and strained sweet red beans is in white. Both was delicious. I think Japanese sweets are not just delicious, you can also savior the season through their looks.
Monaka a wafer cake filled with red (or white) bean jam. This monaka uses peanut with white bean. The flavor of the peanut was fragrant and was delicious.
The peanut is regarded as lucky food in Japan. Because two beans are in one sheath. It is like a happy couple. I think this sweet is so conceptual.
And this box has a shape of the peanut. This is very cute. I think to keep it without throwing it away.
Red and the white combination are said to be lucky in Japan. We can find these color pattern in a traditional wedding ceremony and a festival.
You can buy this monaka in Chiba. Chiba's famous produce is peanut.
