Where do you think of places where you can buy souvenirs from Miyagi and the Tohoku region?
Here are some stores we recommend for those who want to buy souvenirs and gifts that are different from the usual!
This time we visited "Tohoku Standard Market" on the 5th floor of Sendai PARCO2.
The store sells mainly traditional crafts, design folk crafts, sundries, and local foods from six prefectures in the Tohoku region, which are sure to be appreciated both for daily use and as gifts. Just looking at the store is an exciting experience.
Miyagi's standard souvenirs are...!
Lots of cute kokeshi dolls!
It might be fun to find a kokeshi that you like. If you see a kokeshi doll, it is fate! Take it home with you. (Let's buy it and take it home.)
Also, there are many kokeshi stationery items perfect for daily use, such as ballpoint pens and masking tape.
Foods from the 6 Tohoku prefectures are also popular!
You can find delicious foods from 6 prefectures in Tohoku, so you can feel a little like a traveler even though it is hard to travel in these days.
Sendai JR East Travel Service Center recommends
The fragrant and refreshing flavor comes from the thick tea leaves grown in Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture, where the tea is grown in the cold. Available in tea bag form, it is delicious both hot and iced, and can be paired with a variety of sweets, both Japanese and Western.
The overwhelming food corner
A full lineup of traditional crafts
Nambu ironware, popular both at home and abroad.
Other popular items include Tamamushi Nuri, a Sendai-born handicraft characterized by its glossy color and luster, and Akita's Kyogewappa (bentwood).
The "Tohoku Standard Market" has been selected in two ways, considering the past and the future of Tohoku: ■ Products that have taken root in Tohoku's daily life and have become the standard
■ Products that could become the standard for Tohoku in the future
We want to support both traditional products that have continued for a long time and newly created products by making them the Tohoku standard for 100 years from now.
The store's eye-catching wooden display shelves and interior decor were created by Ishinomaki Kobo, a brand that was born immediately after the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011 as a furniture workshop using a minimum amount of wood and tools. Ishinomaki Kobo's furniture is combined with cedar from Miyagi Prefecture and is so sturdy that it did not shake even after the major earthquake that occurred in March 2022. Wrapped in the warmth and warmth of the region, Tohoku Standard Market is a store that is filled with the thoughts and traditions of the store and the people of the region, as well as the entire Tohoku region. It is just a short walk from Sendai Station, so why don't you come and visit?
