What is Monaka?
Monaka is a Japanese sweet usually made of anko ( azuki bean jam filling) sandwiched between two thin crisp wafers made from mochi . The jam can be made from azuki beans but also with sesame seed, chestnuts, or rice cake ( mochi ). Modern monaka also can be eaten filled with ice cream. The wafers can be square, triangular, or may be shaped like cherry blossoms or other flowers. This dish sometimes is served with tea.
