Sanma Pie

A unique pie has arrived from Kesennuma, the 'City of Sanma (Pacific Saury).' It is a 'Sanma Pie' made with fermented butter pastry coated in shaved flakes of Kesennuma-produced sanma. During the Showa 60s (1985-1994) when sanma catches were bountiful, a confectionery shop in Kesennuma was inspired by Shizuoka's Unagi Pie and created this, thinking 'we need a souvenir that represents this city.' Although it once disappeared, forty years after its initial release, Koyama Kashiten revived it in 2023 with both a new flavor and updated packaging. The sweetness of cane sugar and the umami of sanma meet in a pastry made with 100% fermented butter. The sweetness and the savory aroma of the fish harmonize surprisingly well. It is a perfect conversation starter, a single piece unique to this seaside town.
