Kagayaku Ipponmatsu (Shining Lone Pine)
A famous confection from Rikuzentakata, created with wishes for reconstruction. It is inspired by the single pine tree that miraculously survived the great tsunami of the Great East Japan Earthquake. While most of the approximately 70,000 trees in the Takata Pine Grove were swept away, the one tree that endured became known as the 'Miracle Lone Pine' and a symbol of hope for the people. This confection overlays those feelings of reconstruction onto the image of the pine tree. It connects the memories of the disaster and the hope for the future to the next generation in the form of a gentle sweet. As you enjoy the mild flavor of this baked treat, you can also share your support for the reconstruction of Sanriku through this heartfelt item.
