I love Shonai
TEAM SHONAI SPECIAL

　

Two people who love Shonai met, and "SHONAI SPECIAL" was born.

David came to Japan from the Netherlands and was captivated by the nature of Shonai. Madoka continues to grow persimmons in Shonai.

Nature and Faith at the Foot of Dewa Sanzan

　

The Dewa Sanzan mountain range, made up of Mount Gassan, Mount Haguro, and Mount Yudono, towers over the Shonai Plain in Yamagata Prefecture. It conveys the ancient Japanese connection between nature and faith. As a "mountain of rebirth" that traces death and rebirth, it continues to attract many believers from all over the country.

"What if the food you eat during your special time in nature was naturally sourced?
I wish they had the energy bars I used to love in the Netherlands."
That was the beginning of my thinking.

I want to create a natural energy bar that people will want to eat on special occasions.

The trigger for launching "SHONAI SPECIAL" was
It was Dewa Sanzan, the symbol of Shonai.
David was captivated by the magnificent nature of Shonai and the Dewa Sanzan mountains.
This happened when I was participating in a training session for mountain ascetics at Dewa Sanzan.

New possibilities for Shonai persimmons

It was around this time that I met Madoka, who runs a farm.
It was at this time that I was saddened by the reality that old persimmon trees were being cut down as farmers aged, and I was thinking that I needed to find a new way to enjoy persimmons.

Eating gives energy to our bodies and also revives energy to Shonai's nature and traditions.

Based on the concept of "revival" of the Shugendo of Dewa Sanzan, the natural energy bar "SHONAI SPECIAL" was created using only natural ingredients, including "Shonai persimmons" lovingly grown by Madoka and "germinated brown rice" produced in the rice-growing Shonai Plain.
