Hogetsudo Marugame Uchiwa Senbei (Marugame Fan Rice Crackers)
We have transformed the Marugame Uchiwa (hand fan), which holds about a 90% national market share, into rice crackers. Marugame Uchiwa originated in the early Edo period as a souvenir for pilgrims visiting Kotohira-gu Shrine, and developed into a major industry when the Marugame Domain encouraged it as a side job for lower-ranking samurai. In 1997, it was designated as a National Traditional Craft. Hogetsudo, a long-established shop located in the Marugame castle town, has captured this local treasure in the shape of fan-shaped crackers, creating an aromatic piece with an egg-flavored finish. As a souvenir for Konpira pilgrimages, it is a visually representative item of Kagawa. Along with its crisp texture, please taste the history of craftsmanship rooted in Marugame.
