Bangiyakashiho (FUKUOKA)

“Hakata Kenjo” is a beautiful confection that features Hakata-ori patterns on both its contents and packaging.　Originally, “Hakata Kenjo” referred to a type of Hakata woven textile, named after the tradition in which the Kuroda Clan offered Hakata-ori to the shogunate during the Edo period. This confection expresses the local art of the region through sweets. The fragrant monaka wafers are embossed with “kenjo patterns” combining motifs such as dokko, hanazara, hishi, and kokojima. Between the two thinly sliced monaka wafers is a layer of sweet syrup. The browned wafer has a cinnamon flavor, while the white wafer has a ginger flavor—both offering a rich and wholesome taste.
