Brand rice like Hitomebore, local sake, sasa-kamaboko, beef tongue, and seafood. Miyagi is a rice-producing region where the blessings of the sea and mountains gather. At the same time, traditions of woodworking and lacquerware such as Sendai tansu (cabinetry) and kokeshi dolls are passed down, making it a land where you can make Made in Japan-first choices in both food and lifestyle. On this page, we will introduce foods, tableware, furniture, small workshops, and shops that utilize the materials and techniques of Miyagi.
Brand rice produced in Miyagi, as well as local sake made using it along with the preparation water, are chosen for a wide range of situations, from everyday dining to gifts. We will introduce mainly rice and sake where the origins of raw materials and the philosophy of the brewers are clearly visible, including how to enjoy them at home.
Foods connected to coastal port towns, such as sasa-kamaboko, processed seafood, oysters, and wakame seaweed, are also the charm of Miyagi. We will gather products you can choose with peace of mind, from manufacturers attentive to preservatives, additives, and origin labels, to workshops protecting traditional methods.
Miyagi's woodworking and lacquerware skills can be applied to modern living, such as Sendai tansu characterized by gorgeous metal fittings and wood grain, and Naruko kokeshi attractive for their wood-turning and hand-painted expressions. We will introduce tools that are easy to incorporate as storage furniture, small items, or interior decor, along with their background.
