Horaishima Manju
A simple manju (steamed bun) inspired by Horaishima, a symbol of Otsuchi Town. Horaishima is a small, gourd-shaped island known as the model for the NHK puppet show "Hyokkori Hyoutanjima." It features a nostalgic, classic flavor with smooth skin enveloping sweet red bean paste. One bite brings to mind the red lighthouse floating in the bay and the stories associated with the island. The island also has a shrine dedicated to Benzaiten, where prayers for fishing and maritime safety have been offered since ancient times. Having seen its lighthouse rebuilt after the Great East Japan Earthquake, Horaishima is a symbol of reconstruction. This is a heartwarming souvenir you'll want to take home along with your memories of visiting Sanriku.
