Local delicacies as little gifts 🗾 I've compiled wonderful sweets from all 47 prefectures 🇯🇵🐿

Local Specialty Sweets as Petite Gifts 🗾

Recently, when I attended a friend's wedding, I received a petite gift of Rokkatei's Marusei Butter Sand!

The reason the bride and groom chose this is that they are from Hokkaido and wanted to share their beloved local sweets with their guests.

That's such a lovely idea, isn’t it? 🎁✨

You can feel the love for their hometown and, from a guest's perspective, you understand the background of "that's why they chose this!" You can sense the couple's dedication.

So, I wondered, "Are there any nice sweets from my hometown...?" and when I looked it up, I found many local specialties and regional sweets!

(It's amazing to realize that there are so many confectionery shops and manufacturers in Japan.)

I thought this would be great to introduce on marry, so I decided to compile a list categorized by Japan's 47 prefectures!

Here are regional limited sweets that you would want to give as petite gifts, looking nice and priced around 500 yen! 🗾
