Monaka Shells Chrysanthemum 100pcs

Monaka shells are the wafer-thin, crisp mochi rice casings used in traditional Japanese Wagashi (和菓子). Baked from domestically produced mochi rice, they carry a delicate sweetness and a satisfying snap that contrasts beautifully with soft fillings. The chrysanthemum (菊) design is a symbol of beauty and longevity in Japanese culture — making these shells as visually refined as they are functional.

Each shell measures W67mm × D67mm × H11mm with a 14cc capacity — the standard size for traditional azuki bean paste, but equally suited to custard, jam, or premium ice cream fillings. This bulk pack of 100 shells is ideal for confectionery professionals, caterers, and serious home cooks.

Fill just before serving to preserve the shell's crispness. Traditional azuki bean paste (tsubu-an or koshi-an) is the classic pairing, but these shells work beautifully with custard cream, matcha ganache, yuzu jam, or premium ice cream for a modern twist.

Pairs well with: matcha, hojicha, or a light sencha.
