Kojima Seika Hakutai
A confection with a profound name reminiscent of Matsuo Basho's famous poem, 'The flow of time is a traveler passing through for an eternity.' Crafted by Kojima Seika, a long-established shop in Kamaishi City operating since 1945, this is an aromatic sake manju made using sake lees from the local brewery, Hamachidori. The dough, made from rice flour, is carefully filled with Hokkaido red bean paste and then steamed. The natural cracks on the surface lend a truly rustic charm. While the aroma of the sake remains, the alcohol has been evaporated, making it enjoyable for everyone from children to adults. 'Hakutai' refers to an endless, long period of time. It carries a lucky wish that the happiness of the recipient will continue forever. It is a treat to be enjoyed while reflecting on travel and the passage of time.
