JAL Hometown Support Team Hiroshima Prefecture Representative, Makinuchi
I'm Makinuchi, a member of the Hiroshima Prefecture Hometown Support Team. As a male flight attendant, I work on domestic and international flights, and I also work to promote the wonderfulness of my beloved hometown, Hiroshima.
I have red (Carp) and purple (Sanfrecce) blood running through my veins.
The Charm of Hiroshima Prefecture
Hiroshima is blessed with nature, including the sea, rivers, and mountains, and is full of attractions, such as the Peace Memorial Park and Itsukushima Shrine, as well as soul foods like okonomiyaki and oysters. And the prefecture's greatest treasure is the passionate character of its people, who are filled with love for their hometown.
I hope that many people will visit and experience the various charms of my hometown, Hiroshima.
The local souvenirs chosen by the Hiroshima Prefecture Hometown Support Team are...
"Kiriha confectionery"
Price: 960 yen for 6 pieces / Seller: Yamadaya
When you think of souvenirs from Hiroshima, you think of momiji manju, but the even more luxurious "Kirihagashi" is sure to please people of all ages and genders, with its chewy exterior and carefully-selected red bean paste filling. It pairs perfectly with a slightly bitter hot Japanese tea. It's the kind of product that you'll buy as a souvenir for friends or colleagues, only to end up eating it all yourself more than once.
Available for purchase at Hiroshima Airport, Yamadaya Miyajima Main Store (Hatsukaichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture), etc.
