Koin-Monaka

Title of packaging written by Mitsuo Aida

Koundo Honten, whose signature product is “Koin-Monaka” is a very long-established confectionery store that has been in Ashikaga City, Tochigi Prefecture, for more than 100 years. Although it is a standard monaka, it has a very long history and has become a famous confectionary of Ashikaga.

I was impressed by the atmosphere of the packaging, and was surprised to learn that the author of this title was Mitsuo Aida, who was born in Ashikaga City, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. I was surprised to learn that the author of this title is Mitsuo Aida, who was born in Ashikaga City, Tochigi Prefecture, and that the work was done when Mitsuo Aida was young. It is a character with a mysterious charm.

A square monaka with a “Rakkan(signature and seal)” pattern. This is the origin of the name “Koin-Monaka”

It is filled with red bean paste, which seems to be very satisfying.

The azuki red bean paste, which is made by melting syrup and azuki red bean paste, is very smooth and delicious. The bean paste has a soft and sticky texture, but the azuki aroma is very rich and light. The refined finish of the monaka is a perfect example of the signature product of a confectionery shop that has been popular for over 100 years.
