🎌 Kanazawa Urata Kaga Hachiman Kigarumi Mochi

The "Kaga Hachiman Kijō Monaka," produced by the long-established Kanazawa confectionery "Kanazawa Urata," which has been in operation for over 80 years, is a charming classic souvenir shaped like the local toy "Kaga Hachiman Fukurō." The "Kaga Hachiman Fukurō" is modeled after the appearance of the deity Hachiman, who later became Emperor Ōjin, showing its little face from the celebratory red swaddling at the time of birth. Inside the thin outer skin, filled with plenty of red bean particles, the monaka is made with mochi skin from glutinous rice produced in Ishikawa Prefecture and carefully cooked red beans from Hokkaido. The fragrant outer skin combined with the elegant and charming red bean filling offers a relaxing and warm taste. Not only is it a great souvenir for travel, but its doll shape symbolizes good fortune, making it an excellent choice for gifts to celebrate the birth of a child and other congratulatory occasions. Available in quantities from 1 piece (173 yen) to 30 pieces (5,508 yen), the ability to choose the number based on purpose is also a significant feature. In addition to the directly operated stores, it can also be purchased at shops such as Kanazawa M'ZA and the Ishikawa Prefectural Tourist Product Center.

Inspired by the traditional folk toy "Kaga Hachiman Fudō," this treat features a fragrant outer layer that perfectly complements the elegant and charming red bean filling. It is ideal for gifting on celebratory occasions such as the birth of a child. You can also choose the quantity based on your needs.
