Shofuku: Crane's Egg

An auspicious confection inspired by Izumi, Japan's premier crane village. Izumi City in Kagoshima Prefecture is Japan's top wintering site for cranes, with over 10,000 birds flying in from Siberia every year. It is said that approximately 90% of the world's mandarin cranes spend their winter here, and the migration site is designated as a National Special Natural Monument. 'Shofuku: Crane's Egg' is an egg-shaped confection created in honor of these cranes of Izumi. Cranes have long been regarded as auspicious birds symbolizing longevity and happiness. This smooth-tasting sweet, shaped like an egg, is perfect for gifting. It is a souvenir that invites good fortune, meant to be enjoyed while reflecting on the natural abundance of Izumi.
