Hamster monaka
A cute hamster-shaped monaka. The hamster's tummy is a little dented, and if you put a grain of the attached nuts on it, it looks like the hamster has nuts. Besides nuts, it is also recommended to put dried fruits and konpeito.
6 pieces of Monaka skin, 6 pieces of bean paste, and 1 bag of nuts are included in the set, and you can enjoy filling Monaka with bean paste by yourself. The slightly salty taste of nuts, the sweetness of red bean paste from Hokkaido, and the crisp and fragrant Monaka create an exquisite harmony. Monaka skins are individually wrapped, so you can enjoy the crispy texture. The price is 1,620 yen (tax included) per set.
