There are three things I want you to eat when traveling to Sendai.
One is ``Zunda Shake,'' another is ``Beef Tongue Set Meal,' ' and the last ``Akiu Ohagi .

In particular, Akiu ohagi is a specialty that only those in the know know about.
The store that sells it is a small supermarket tucked away in Akiu, but despite that, it is a very popular product, with some days selling as many as 20,000 pieces a day!

Housewife's shop Saichi is a small giant! ?

The store where you can eat Akiu Ohagi is a small supermarket with a sales floor area of ​​260 square meters.
This is a family-run shop that is loved by local residents.
Can you believe that
such a store that it is flooded with inspection requests from major supermarkets all over Japan Saichi actually famous for its Akiu ohagi , but it is an unusual supermarket that sells an average of 1 million yen a day just in its prepared food section.

Our commitment to taste lies in our awareness that we are not competing with other companies in the same industry, but rather with ``home-made taste.''
``It's more delicious than any home-cooked food,'' ``You won't get tired of it even if you eat it every day,'' and ``It's still delicious even after time passes'' are not only popular among Sendai residents but also repeat customers from other prefectures. It can be said to be the best side dish.

Akiu Ohagi is filled with these three hearts. What does it taste like?

Ohagi is so delicious that I want to keep eating it forever!

There are three types of Akiu ohagi: red bean paste, sesame, and kinako.
For a limited time, they also sell side dishes such as natto. Of course, the most popular one is the classic red bean paste.

A huge ohagi with a total length of 10cm and a total width of 5cm.
The thickness of the red bean paste on the surface is 1cm, which is surprising.
Even with all that red bean paste, the sugar content is low, so it won't leave your mouth feeling sticky, and best of all, it's healthy. It also leaves a refreshing feeling after eating.

Also, although it has low sugar content, it is unrivaled in terms of sweetness.
The sweetness is not the result of adding a large amount of sugar, but the sweetness created by adjusting the type and balance of sugar as well as the salt content is elegant and deep. It's a special ohagi only available at Saichi that you'll want to eat as many as you like as long as you have room.

However, Akiu Ohagi cannot be taken as a souvenir.

We do not sell to people who do not want to eat it that day Akiu Ohagi does not use any additives such as preservatives to make it last longer. By not using additives or preservatives, Saichi's method is to create a flavor that you will never get tired of. Therefore, people living outside the prefecture cannot buy Akiu Ohagi as souvenirs!

Akiu ohagi can only be purchased at ``Shufu-no-ten Saichi'' in Akiu, ``Food Kingdom Miyagi'' near Sendai Station, and some large supermarkets.
Sendai Station is limited to 1000 pieces, so if you're looking for one, be sure to go buy it early!
