⛵ A Sweet Inspired by Maritime Heritage

This dorayaki brings together ingredients from Hokkaido, Okayama, and Kagoshima, evoking the Kitamaebune merchant ships that once connected goods and cultures across Japan.

The name Sanshamaru comes from an actual Kitamaebune ship based in Shimotsui, Kojima, Okayama around 1839. Its ship illustration and sail-inspired logo reflect the maritime heritage of the region.

🏮 Crafted by Yamaichiya Kyubey

Yamaichiya Kyubey was established in 2010 by the Okayama Plaza Hotel Group, drawing inspiration from the founder’s family history in coastal shipping.

In 2025, to mark its 15th anniversary, the product was fully renewed with updates to both ingredients and packaging.
