Botchan Train Sablé
A sablé shaped like a retro train, perfect for memories of a trip to Dogo Onsen. Holding it in your palm makes you feel like a child again. Its model is the 'Botchan Train,' which ran through the streets of Matsuyama for 67 years from 1888 to 1954. This small steam locomotive, also depicted in Natsume Soseki's novel 'Botchan,' has been restored as an environmentally friendly diesel vehicle and now chugs through the castle town. It is said that everything from the sound of the whistle to the crew's attire has been reproduced as faithfully as possible. These crispy butter sablés are a popular souvenir at shops such as Dogo Onsen Station. As you bite into the train shape, please recall that adorable sight chugging along.
