Tenkei traditional Japanese sweets Matcha Monaka, 6 pcs. 180g

Discover a unique fusion of traditional Japanese sweets in one elegant dessert. Tenkei Matcha Mochi Monaka are delicate monaka wafers filled with a velvety matcha green tea cream and soft mochi. This is a refined, subtly sweet snack inspired by the classic world of wagashi—traditional Japanese sweets often enjoyed with tea.

From the very first bite, you’ll experience a striking contrast of textures: a lightly crisp monaka shell gives way to a creamy, slightly chewy filling infused with aromatic Japanese matcha. The flavor is well-balanced—gentle sweetness combined with the distinctive, slightly vegetal note of green tea, creating a refined and elegant taste profile.
