Satoya S-Pal Yamagata Branch / 乃し梅本舗佐藤屋　S-PAL山形店

Visitors arriving at JR Yamagata Station only have to pass through the doors connecting the station to the S-Pal shopping mall to encounter Satoya, which is easily recognizable by the large red plum flowers which accent our shop décor. Every day, classic and seasonal Satoya sweets are freshly delivered from our main shop in the Tokamachi area, and we have installed a small translation device to allow us to better serve our customers from foreign countries.

Noshiume / 乃し梅

(5 pieces) 600 yen plus tax, larger sizes available

"While the origins of the noshiume sweet lie in a plum-based folk medicine used in Yamagata during the Edo period,
today our noshiume uses only ripe plums, sugar and agar, with a fresh tartness that balances the sweet flavor.
(Best consumed within 120 days of production.)"
Mayuhaki / まゆはき

(5 pieces) 700 yen plus tax, larger sizes available

"This light-textured sweet consists of a layer of solid plum jelly sandwiched between two thin rice flour discs.
The name of the sweet comes from a haiku poem composed by Matsuo Basho during his stay in Yamagata.
(Best consumed within 20 days of production.)"
Tamayura / たまゆら

6個入　1000～

"Tamayura, made by preparing a Japanese-style fresh ganache chocolate blended with sweet white bean paste and agar, and topping this with our signature noshiume, has become one of Satoya's most popular sweets.
(Best consumed within ten days of production, not sold during the hottest part of summer.)"
Noshiume Syrup / 乃し梅のシロップ

(1 bottle) 1200 plus tax

"Our noshiume syrup is made by reducing ripe plums to a paste and adding sugar, and can be used as a base for drinks or in cooking.
Versatile and with a long shelf life, it makes a very welcome gift.
(Best consumed within 180 days of production.)"
Ume Shigure / 梅しぐれ

600 yen plus tax

"For our ume shigure, we cut noshiume into strips which are then dredged in sugar and dried.
They can be eaten straight from the bag, which makes them a convenient and popular sweet.
(Best consumed within 90 days of production.)"
