Lucky Confectionery Shop＊

Have you heard of the lucky confectionery shop "Hakata Unmori" located in Hakata?

In Japan, it has been said since ancient times that eating foods that contain the character "n" (like carrots and green beans) brings "luck" and is considered good luck.

Hakata Unmori operates under this good luck concept, selling sweets made with plenty of vegetables that contain the character "n"♩

Hakata Unmori's catchy phrase is, "A lot of happiness with our lucky sweets!"＊

How about considering it as a gift for wedding favors, as a return gift for wedding celebrations, or as a token when visiting your in-laws? ♡
