Monaka Japanese Wafer Shells (Round)

Round Monaka shells crafted from Shin Taisho Mochi, a prized mochi rice cultivated in the northwestern region of Japan. Produced in Kanazawa by artisans with more than a century of experience, these Japanese wafers embody the elegance of traditional Japanese confectionery.

Monaka is a traditional Japanese confection made of sweet bean paste sandwiched between two wafer shells. Today, chefs across fine-dining, pâtisserie, and modern kaiseki kitchens use Monaka in creative ways. Its crisp bite contrasts beautifully with creamy, savory, or frozen ingredients, making it an exceptional plating tool for both sweet and savory menus. Perfect for ice cream sandwiches, bean pastes, ganache, foie gras, or seafood tartare.
