Let's protect the nostalgic taste to Yoshii Town

It was in March 2010 that the confectionery workshop Yoichi opened. Until then, "Gonboku Karinto", which uses Meiji Gonbo, was a familiar sweets in the region. Momoko's grandparents were burdock farmers, and they had been delivering burdock to Karinto shop for a long time. However, the older Karinta shop had no successor, and there was a story about working on a business. In this situation, delicious Karinto using local specialties will be cut off. "I don't want to do a Karinto shop," and his grandparents called out to Momoko. At that time, Momoko was busy working in Kurashiki after graduating from the University of Arts in Osaka. "I wanted to work while creating a work, but I couldn't do it. I was wondering if my life would be like this. The fields are different, but I also make things. (Momoko -san) I thought it would be worthwhile if I could use it. "On the other hand, after graduating from a university in Kanto, Yoshio, who worked for a shipping company and worked as a clerk, lived in Saitama Prefecture. 。 Two people who were seniors and juniors on the track and field club in high school, and have been in a long -distance romance since graduating from high school. When the story of marriage was coming out, Momoko told Yoshio, "Do you make a karinto in Yoshii -cho?" "As a person who doesn't cook, he's completely different in the field. At first he said," No, I can't do it, "but decided," Let's do a single life, let's have fun. " Yoshio) Yoshio uses all the savings for the wedding to build a new confectionery workshop and purchase equipment. He learned how to make it from a teacher who originally made Karinto. At first it is hard to reproduce the taste. There is no know -how of sales. We worked on how to open an event and search for a store where you can put products. The relationship between the neighborhood was also from the beginning, but you would have seen the two people who worked hard, the personal connections gradually expanded, and said, "What if there is such an event?" The voice has come to be heard. The fragrant Meiji Gonbo is full of fragrant Meiji Gong. The package design is Momoko. The character "Gonbou -kun" from Meiji Gonbo Village has also appeared. In 2012, he developed Yuzukarinto. I use yuzu that grew up in Yoshii -cho without using chemical fertilizer, pesticides, and herbicides. When you bite, the refreshing scent spreads in your mouth. It is a relationship that Yoshio has begun to help with Yama Nari Sake Brewery next to the workshop, and in 2019, Sake Kasu Kanuto also appeared. You can enjoy the elegant scent of sake lees.
