Prices start at 617 yen (tax included) for a package of six.

The author purchased the "Kamakura Hanzuki Three-Color Assortment," a combination of the regular flavors "Matcha" and "Ogura," and the seasonal "Kamakura Peanut Hanzuki. The price starts at 1.080 yen for a pack of 10 pieces, which includes 5 pieces of Kamakura half moon (3 pieces of matcha and 2 pieces of kogura) and 5 pieces of Kamakura peanut half moon.


Printed on the package are cute bunnies. Each confectionary has its own story, and you can enjoy eating them while enjoying the story.



The dough of the Kamakura half-moon is crispy and crackles when you bite into it. It has just the right amount of crunchiness and crackles every time you bite into it. The cream sandwiched inside is light and fluffy. The moist and sweet Ogura and the bittersweet green tea are both so rich in flavor that you could eat as much as you want! It seems to go well not only with green tea, but also with black tea and coffee.

Seasonal "Kamakura Peanut Hanzuki

The seasonal "Kamakura Peanut Hanzuki" is a rice cracker studded with fragrant peanuts and topped with peanut cream. The aroma of peanuts spreads as you bite into the rice cracker, making it a must-have for peanut lovers.


Kamakura Goro Honten's "Kamakura Hanzuki" is a little more luxurious than usual. It is recommended as a souvenir or a gift for someone you care about.
