In the distant past, Marco Polo, Saigyo Hoshi, and Matsuo Basho all longed for a so-called ‘Golden Land’. That land was Hiraizumi, the cultural landscape associated with Pure Land Buddhist Cosmology.
In more recent times, during Japan’s Meiji era (China’s Qing dynasty), trading of high quality seafood products began in China. These products were wrapped in a straw bag called tawara and so the seafood is now known as tawaramono. In Iwate, there was a tradition of trading Sanriku coast seafood, as part of the tawaramono.
As the years have passed, and Hiraizumi progresses towards UNESCO World Heritage inscription, the ancient legend of the ‘Golden Land’ (Cipangu) has spread and fused with the allure of the tawaramono, resulting in the emergence of the ‘Sanriku Golden Tawaramono’ .

Limited supplies of the new ‘Sanriku Golden Tawaramono’, with its ancient origins and modern allure, are now available. Bringing a taste of Hiraizumi’s culture and history to the people of the world, it is a flavour to be relished.
