Sakata Musume (Sakata Girl)
The famous confection 'Sakata Musume' from Sakata City is a baked sweet produced by Kasho Kikuchi, established in 1884. It features moist, butter-flavored dough wrapped around a plump, homemade bean paste filling. The brush-painted face of a girl on the package represents the character of Sakata women: caring, spirited, and witty. The availability of three flavors—Adzuki, Coffee, and Roasted Sweet Potato—is said to be inspired by the fact that the Kikuchi family was blessed with three daughters at the time. The eldest daughter is Adzuki, the second is Coffee, and the third is Roasted Sweet Potato. With its gentle sweetness and rustic warmth, this treat reflects the hospitality of the port town of Sakata. When you pick one up, you can taste the entire story behind its creation.
