[Discontinued] Marufuji Ishiwari-zakura

This is a signature confection from Marufuji, inspired by the Ishiwari-zakura (Stone-Splitting Cherry Blossom), a symbol of Morioka. The Ishiwari-zakura is an Edohigan cherry tree over 360 years old that towers in the center of Morioka City, growing powerfully from a crack in a massive granite boulder measuring 21 meters in circumference. Designated as a National Natural Monument in 1923, it is a famous tree that the people of Morioka take great pride in. This confection subtly reflects the resilience of the tree as it blooms by splitting through giant stone. While this confectionery conveyed the refined atmosphere of Morioka, it has sadly come to an end. It remains a cherished memory of a flavor that was loved for a long time alongside the Ishiwari-zakura. If you ever visit Morioka, please go and see the powerful presence of the real Ishiwari-zakura for yourself.
