Takekoma inari omusubi gozen
This gorgeous and visually brilliant meal features our original "Ichigokumanbai Inari," which is inspired by Takekoma Shrine, as well as Miyagi Prefecture specialties such as oyster shiguren and shiso maki, colorful side dishes, and ingredients to bring good luck. Of course, the taste is exquisite as well!
All of the dishes are so elaborate that it is hard to decide where to start.
■Omusubi Enmusubi Gozen
Omusubi" is also said to be a way to obtain the blessings of divine power by eating rice in the shape of a mountain, which means "the form of a god.
This is an auspicious menu that combines the word "omusubi" with the word "enmusubi" (match-making).
There are three kinds of side dishes: oyster shigureni, fried chicken with tartar sauce, and chawanmushi. All of them seem to go well with rice.
■Takekoma Kitsune Soba
Soba has been treated as a good luck charm since ancient times because it is very easy to break compared to udon noodles and other dishes, and because it has the meaning of "severing ties with bad luck" and "wishing for a long life" in reference to the long growth of soba noodles.
The dish is topped with a large piece of fried bean curd that almost overflows from the bowl. It is very juicy and soaks up a lot of fragrant soup stock!
Limited to 20 parfaits a day!
Ichigokumanbai Parfait
The sponge is made of rice flour produced in Miyagi Prefecture and has a fluffy texture.
It is topped with brightly colored Temari-fu, three-color dango, and cute cookies in the shapes of torii and foxes, making it a very satisfying sweet that is fun to look at and delicious to eat.

A highly recommended drink is the [Fukuroi Cream Soda (with fox cookie)]. It is a "lucky drink" with a bright color and creamy sweetness, and there are four different kinds, so it is fun to choose your favorite flavor depending on your mood that day.
