Kouro-an is a beloved shop that keeps creating highly original sweets, bringing out the authentic deliciousness of traditional wagashi while adding a touch of Yokohama-style fun and delight.

With many hit creations—including the signature “Brown Sugar Dorayaki,” a favorite since the shop first opened—this “Fune Monaka” has been especially popular in recent years.

Inspired by the passenger ships docked at Yokohama Port, its adorable, round, plump monaka wafer shell is shaped like a ship and was personally designed by the owner. Inside, chewy, pillowy gyuhi mochi and gently sweet smooth red bean paste are sandwiched together, creating a flavor loved by both kids and adults.

At the 2024 Kanagawa Prefecture Confectionery Contest, it won the top prize and became a truly recognized Yokohama souvenir—sure to be appreciated as a local gift full of regional character. Savor to your heart’s content the refined harmony of chunky sweet red bean paste and crisp monaka.
