Since its founding in 1919, Ocha no Igata has been located in Sendai and has continued to provide tea from Shizuoka.
Ocha no Igata, which constantly deals with tea and upholds "tea and culture" as its eternal philosophy, creates not only tea leaves but also everything needed to enjoy tea.
Among them, tea sweets are now a famous Japanese sweet that represents Sendai and are loved by people all over the country.
So this time, we asked the staff at Ocha no Igata what Japanese sweets they recommend as souvenirs from Sendai!
When you're at a loss for a souvenir, this is it!

Mr. Fujino's recommendation: "Senichi Mochi" 4 pieces 550 yen including tax

Sennichi Mochi is a new confectionery with a unique shape that resembles a hat.The
name originates from the Buddhist practice of arrogance called Sennichi Kaihogyo.
Senichi-mochi was created when Dai Acharya, the second man to achieve this in 1300 years of history, opened Jigen-ji Temple in Akiu.
The fragrant and high quality bean paste is made from Hokkaido azuki beans.
Rare sugars that produce an elegant sweetness are healthy carbohydrates that suppress increases in blood sugar levels and the accumulation of body fat.
The dough is kneaded using a unique technique and has a unique chewy texture.
They are sold individually, so give one a try.
You'll definitely fall in love with its deliciousness!

Mr. Aihara's recommendation: "Sendai raw chocolate truffles" 4 pieces 594 yen including tax

LEAFELL is a stylish and luxurious shop located in the east building of S-PAL.
This is a tea brand from Igata that offers Japanese tea culture arranged in a modern style.
You can buy Sendai raw chocolate truffles at LEAFELL.
A truffle with matcha cream wrapped in raw chocolate.
By deliberately choosing bitter chocolate, you can enjoy a high-quality taste that brings out the aroma, bitterness, and subtle sweetness that are the charm of matcha.
This is a dish that you should try at least once as a new taste of Sendai.

Staff member Kondo’s recommendation: “Kastera” from 540 yen including tax

Igata's castella tea is delicious with its fluffy texture, fine texture, and brightly colored appearance.
``Matcha Castella,'' which has a gentle taste with a faint matcha scent, and ``Jiyo Tamago Castella,'' which is made with high-quality Jiyo eggs and has a sweet and rich flavor,
are both Japanese sweets that go well with tea.

A gift with tea!

Japanese green tea is the best way to enjoy these Japanese sweets to the fullest.
If you are giving it as a souvenir, you can make it even more enjoyable by adding some Igata tea to it.
If you want to give a stylish souvenir with a bit of a difference, try giving it as a set with tea!
