Kurikinton Chestnut Sweets from Gifu! In Miyagi?!?!

Shortly after our trip south to Aichi and Gifu, I realized we had not bought enough omiyage and as it was just after payday, I raced to Sendai with the idea that I might find something suitable at one of the department stores. 


Luck was absolutely on my side as I walked out of the main gates of the Japan rail exit to find a pop-up shop specifically for Gifu prefecture.

They had everything I could imagine from the chestnut sweets I so miss from my time there to the good luck charms from that area and various snacks containing Hidagyu, the wagyu specific to Gifu prefecture.


I spent ¥7000 on a makeup omiyage and even walked away with the chestnut sweets from the very town that I had lived in when I lived in Gifu.
