Kamakura Goro Kamakura Hangetsu Cream Sandwich Wafer Assorted Gift Box

Kamakura Goro Honten has been making confectionery on Komachi-dori — the main shopping street leading to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu, Kamakura’s most celebrated shrine — for decades, and the Kamakura Hangetsu is the product that defines the shop.

The name means “half moon,” and the shape is precisely that: a large, thin wafer cracker in the form of a crescent, decorated with a small moon rabbit motif on the surface and carrying a cream filling between its two layers.

The Kamakura Hangetsu is a distinctly Japanese take on the gaufre — the French cream wafer — adapted into something that sits comfortably between Western confectionery and Japanese sensibility.

The cracker itself is baked to a light, crisp texture with a faint sweetness and an airy quality that shatters cleanly at the first bite.

The cream is generous, filling the entire interior, with the dough and cream of each variety sharing the same flavor identity rather than treating the cracker as a neutral carrier.

This assortment brings together the two classic Kamakura Hangetsu flavors alongside the seasonal Peanut edition.

The matcha variety uses a matcha-flavored cracker and matcha cream — clean, subtly bitter, and unmistakably the tea character that Kamakura’s confectionery culture has long made natural.

The ogura variety is built on adzuki bean cream, traditionally sweetened and soft, paired with an ogura-flavored cracker that gives the piece a warm, distinctly Japanese confectionery character.

The Peanut edition — a seasonal offering available only at certain times of year — uses a cracker with finely ground peanut worked into the dough and a filling made with roasted peanut cream, giving both the biscuit and the center a pronounced, toasty nuttiness.

Each piece is individually wrapped and sized for a single serving. Presented in a gift box appropriate for seasonal greetings, thank-you gifts, or any occasion that calls for something from Kamakura.
