🎌 Kyoto Gion Anon "Anpone"

Based on the technique of making red bean paste, a new type of monaka that blends the essence of Japanese and Western styles has been launched as the signature product of "Kyoto Gion Anon." You can fill the monaka with your favorite fillings, enjoying the delightful combination of Japanese flavors and Western desserts, making it a popular choice for gifts and souvenirs. Among the many varieties, the classic "Tsubu" features a shell made from "Habutae Mochi," a glutinous rice from Shiga Prefecture, creating a thin, crispy, and fragrant monaka skin. The filling is made from Tokachi red beans that are simmered slowly, combined with a special cream made from mascarpone cheese. The sweetness of the red bean paste perfectly blends with the acidity of the mascarpone cheese cream, making it hard to resist having another one. In addition to the classic "Tsubu," seasonal flavors such as "Chestnut with Soy Flour," "Peach," "Pistachio," and "Pumpkin" are also offered. Trying different combinations of fillings and mascarpone adds a unique enjoyment in finding your favorite way to indulge.
