Baikatei "Kagurazaka Fukurai Cat Monaka"

Kagurazaka is lined with various shops from the main street to the back alleys. In fact, it is also a "cat town", and you can meet not only real cats but also unique products with cat motifs.

This time I found "Kagurazaka Fukurai Monaka". It is sold at the Japanese sweets shop "Umekatei", which was founded in 1935. Also available at Umekatei Online Shop.

Kagurazaka Fukurai Monaka

A product with red bean paste inside a monaka that imitates the shape of a cat. The white cat "Kuru" contains red bean paste, the pink cat "Fuku" contains white bean paste, the calico cat "Azuki" contains red bean paste, and the black cat "Take" contains brown sugar bean paste. This time I bought Azuki and Fuku. The shelf life is 7 days. The price is 270 yen (tax included) per piece.

The rounded form and tail are very cute. If you raise your teeth, it will crumble. With a delicate mouthfeel, it spreads the fragrance softly.

The bean paste inside has a sticky and smooth texture. It is tightly packed from the ears to the feet. The white bean paste of the pink cat has a smooth sweetness, and the grain of the calico cat has a rich sweetness. The aroma of monaka and the sweetness of bean paste are perfectly balanced. Excellent compatibility with fragrant green tea and roasted green tea.
