Local Products Plaza Lala Iwate Hiraizumi Store
Sharing Iwate’s charm through delicious food and traditional crafts.
Located near the entrance to the Omotesando approach to “Chusonji,” one of Iwate Prefecture’s representative tourist spots, and right by the historic site “Benkei’s Grave.” The “Iwate Prefecture Products Store” sign is your landmark, and inside you’ll find a wide range of souvenirs packed into the space.
Especially recommended are local-born specialties that Iwate residents truly love. You’ll find a diverse lineup, from instant-style “Morioka Reimen” you can enjoy at home, to the famous sweet “Kamome no Tamago” created in 1951, to “Sanriku Kaihozuke,” generously packed with abalone and salmon roe.
Traditional crafts that carry on local heritage are another highlight. Be sure to browse for a lifelong favorite, from “Nambu Tekki” with beautiful intricate patterns that boost heat retention, to “Kuji Amber,” a craft from Kuji City, Japan’s top amber-producing area, to “Joboji-nuri,” lacquerware with a simple, deep, and subdued tone.
At the storefront, they also sell soft-serve ice cream made with 100% local fresh milk, perfect for eating on the go.
