ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Monaka

Monaka is a yummy Japanese dessert that looks like a little sandwich! The outside of the sandwich is made with a crispy wafer, and the inside is filled with sweet and yummy bean paste. It’s kind of like eating a cookie filled with a delicious and sugary filling. Some versions of monaka have different fillings, like ice cream or fruit. Monaka is really popular in Japan and is often eaten during special celebrations or given as gifts. It’s a treat that is enjoyed by kids and grown-ups alike!
