5 really delicious souvenirs from Iwate

"Tarte Tatin" baked goods

If you can't decide which is the most popular souvenir from Iwate, you can't go wrong with tarte tatin.

They also have a store on the first floor of Morioka Station, so they are often used in Iwate Prefecture as Morioka souvenirs.

The wide variety of baked goods, including the "Tarte Tatin" (top left photo), which gives the store its name, are all delicious and you won't be disappointed. You're sure to find the perfect souvenir to suit your budget and preferences. I personally recommend the ``Chabatake Gatu Chocolat Grand'' (top right photo).
A luxurious dish made with honey from Fujiwara Bee Farm in Morioka.

It has a rich chocolate flavor that will satisfy even chocolate lovers. This is a great souvenir to choose even when you absolutely don't want to make a mistake.

Sanriku Kaihozuke

Sanriku Kaihozuke, the signature product of Nakamuraya, headquartered in Kamaishi City, Iwate Prefecture, is a premium souvenir that lets you enjoy the charm of Iwate's sea all in one.

Even citizens of Iwate Prefecture would be overjoyed if they received this product. The Nakamura family, which was founded as a Japanese cuisine restaurant, has created a delicious dish using professional chefs' techniques to prepare high-quality salmon roe, abalone, and mekabu caught from the nutrient-rich waters of Sanriku, and then pack them tightly into one box.

It's delicious not only by pouring it over rice as it is, but also by tossing it with pasta.
It's perfect to accompany alcohol, so if you give it with Iwate's local sake, you'll have the perfect evening drink time.

This is a great souvenir to give to your loved ones as a token of your gratitude.

seagull egg

``Kamome Eggs'' are a long-selling Sanriku souvenir.
The key point is that it looks like a real egg, with a white, round shape and a well-reproduced yolk inside.
Due to its cuteness, it is a very popular item with many posts on SNS.

The exquisite harmony of the fluffy yellow bean paste wrapped in castella cake and then coated with white chocolate is irresistible.

It's a sweet that has a heartwarming and simple taste that will make you feel naturally happy after eating it.
This is a souvenir that will be loved by a wide range of people, from young women who love cute things to elderly people who love Japanese sweets.

Oshu potato

This is a very popular product from Fleur Kikuya.

All of the sweets at this shop are delicious, but the "Oshu Potato" is especially delicious.
The taste is so well-received that Terry Ito previously praised it on the Information TV program ``Sukkiri,'' saying, ``It was the most delicious thing I've ever had in my life.''

Oshu potato is a sweet potato with a smooth texture.

I would like people who say, ``I don't like sweet potatoes because they're dry,'' to try them. We have stores mainly in the southern regions of Iwate Prefecture, such as Oshu City and Ichinoseki City, as well as in Morioka City.
This is a product you'll want to get as a souvenir, but also as a reward for yourself.

An butter sandwich cookie

``An butter sandwich cookie'' supervised by ``Fukuda Pan,'' a specialty bread bread shop well-known to Iwate residents.
It is popular among the younger generation, and in recent years it has become more common to receive it as a souvenir.

They are sold at airports and stations, as well as service areas and parking areas within the prefecture, so it's great that you can easily purchase them while driving.

The crunchy texture of the crispy cookie dough and butter-flavored cream is addictive.
Since it lasts for a long time, you can purchase it with confidence even when carrying it for a long time.
Recommended if you want to casually give away a delicious souvenir.

Points to consider when choosing souvenirs

Since you are going to choose a souvenir, you want to give it something that will truly make you happy.
Just add the following points to your taste to make them even more happy.

Choose something unique to the area

Items with place names or packaging that you can tell at a glance that they are Iwate prefecture souvenirs are rare and easy to remember.
Also, souvenirs that are ``popular in Iwate Prefecture'' will become a topic of discussion when you give them away, and they will be appreciated as they will give you a special feeling.

Choose individually wrapped items for handing out at work.

If you are giving it to your company or a business partner, choose a souvenir that is packaged in small pieces.
Sorting out sweets is actually a surprisingly time-consuming process. Just by adding a sense of consideration to your partner, you will make them even more happy.
