Descriptions:
Japanese sweets with a sparrow motif familiar from the Sendai Sparrow Dance and the Date Family Crest are now sold at JR Sendai Station. The “Manju” is a fluffy and cute bun in the shape of a sparrow. It is already a hot topic on social media. It is the “Sendai Suzume Manju”. The motifs are sparrows that are familiar to the city’s residents, such as the Date Family Crest “Bamboo and Sparrow” and the Sendai Sparrow Dance. It became a hot topic on social media because its shape resembled the “Phoenix” that Yuzuru Hanyu performed at an ice show last year. It is sold at the “Chun Chun-do” store that opened on September 13 on the basement floor of the S-PAL Sendai main building at JR Sendai Station. Customer: “I came 2 hours before the store opened!” “I saw it on Instagram and heard that this store was opening, so I was looking forward to it.” “Chun Chun-do” is the first shop in the Sendai Castle Ruins. This is the second shop. It is operated by Muranushi Supermarket in Wakabayashi Ward. “Caramel Flavor” is also available only at the new shop. A limited number of sparrow dolls were given out on the 13th, and many people gathered at the event. Customer: “I was curious about the caramel flavor, and I wanted to get the new one too. I think I’ll like it with tea.” “I’m looking forward to it. The sparrows also got something cute, so I’d like to have it at home.” There are three regular flavors: koshiang, custard, and zunda. Depending on the day, freshly baked goods will be lined up around 3 p.m.
