菓匠三全は、宮城県仙台市を拠点に和魂洋才の精神で和菓子から洋菓子に至るまで幅広く手がけている菓子メーカーです。特に宮城・山形地方の郷土料理「ずんだ餅」は、菓匠三全の製品が高い評価を受けています。その理由は、山形名産の枝豆と餅には宮城のみやこがねを使用する徹底したこだわりからです。このこだわりの逸品を東京でも味わってほしいという願いが、東京大丸百貨店のデパ地下出店に結実しました。この出店計画では、店舗におけるブランドのビジュアルイメージを最重要課題に展開しました。ブランドシンボルには、だだちゃ豆の特徴の二房をモチーフに英文ロゴタイプと組み合わせて、郷土料理と現代の菓子の融合、まさに和魂洋才の精神を表現しました。
Kasho Sanzen is located in the City of Sendai, Miyagi prefecture, which is doing wider range of business from Japanese sweets to Western sweets with principles of Japanese spirit and Western ingenuity integrated. Especially "Zunda-mochi," food native to Miyagi and Yamagata region, made by Sanzen is highly praised in the market.
The reason of the popularity is derived from down to earth adherence on using genuine beans produced in Yamagata and rice named "Miyakogane" from Miyagi. The desire to serve the devoted products to people in Tokyo led to the opening of a shop in the basement floor of Tokyo Daimaru department store. In the shop plan, the visual image of the brand was set to be the most important point. This was the very expression of Japanese spirit and Western ingenuity integrated in native food and modern sweets. The integration was expressed by the combination of two distinctive bunches of beans as the motif, and logotype in Alphabet for the symbol.
