Star-Falling City of Shimomatsu Sweets

These star-motif sweets are inspired by Shimomatsu, the 'star-falling town.' Its romantic origin makes it an enchanting choice for a souvenir. According to local legend from the era of Empress Suiko, a large star descended upon a pine tree in Aoyagi Port and shone brightly for seven days and seven nights. It is said that the 'pine where stars fell' (orimatsu) eventually became 'Shimomatsu,' and this legend lives on today as a symbol of the town. In honor of this tale, star-shaped sweets have been created and have gained great popularity. With their adorable packaging and elegant flavor, they are perfect for gifting. This dreamy treat allows you to take home a piece of the story of Shimomatsu, the town where stars fall.
