Funafuna Senbei
"Konpira Funafuna, hoisting sails against the pursuer, shura-shu-shu-shu" — This is a famous confection from Kotohira that shares its name with that very folk song. It was devised by the original Funafunado, which was founded in 1909 on the approach to Konpira-san. The sweet is inspired by the fact that Kotohira-gu is the guardian deity of maritime transport; the dough is made using only eggs from Kagawa Prefecture, flour, and sugar, and is shaped like a ship's sail with the lyrics of the folk song branded onto it. We take pride in the fact that even today, each piece is baked by hand at our storefront. If you visit Konpira-san, this is a treat you definitely want to pick up. The long history of Konpira wafted through this crispy, fragrant egg cracker.
