In our set the bean jam and wafers come in two separate cans so you can create your own Monaka and adjust the amount of bean jam according to your personal taste. It also ensures it stays extra fresh and crispy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1219\" src=\"http:\/\/www.takimotokan.co.jp\/english\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_3636.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3636\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><br \/>\nThe best way to eat Monaka, however, has to involve our special ice cream we introduced here <a href=\"http:\/\/www.takimotokan.co.jp\/english\/news\/soft-serve-at-its-best-made-in-hokkaido\/\">this blog post<\/a> a few weeks back: the Shiroi Koibito soft-serve.<\/p>\n<p>This is no doubt the best way one can enjoy a Monaka \u2013 while the wafers are crunchy and crispy, the ice cream is extra creamy and it dissolves beautifully on your tongue. On the other hand, it is not just a regular ice cream sandwich because the bean jam adds a whole new dimension of flavor! And now just imagine how it would taste when served with a warm pot of Japanese green tea\u2026<\/p>\n<p>During your next visit to Dai-ichi Takimotokan, do not hesitate to purchase our \u201cOni no Maru-zuki\u201d set and try it with the Shiroi Koibito.
