Kodama Corporation President Yasushi Kodama

About Kodama's Dorayaki Honpo (Kodama Co., Ltd.), a long-established shop in Sendai established 75 years ago.

Kodama no Dorayaki Honpo (Kodama Co., Ltd.) is a long-established Japanese confectionary shop (5 directly managed stores) established 75 years ago in Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture. Its products, including Japan's first "Dorayaki with Mochi (rice cake)", are so well known and loved by local people in Sendai. Through the operation of the company's edamame farm, "Hitotsunagi Farm Kodama Land," the company places importance on human connections and food education. The company's philosophy is to "create people before creating products, and beyond that, to create excitement." The company's products and services have created many "memories," and the company considers itself to be in the "memory sales business.

Concentration in Tokyo and U/I turn

Recently, the concentration of people in Tokyo has been seen as a problem, but the issues involved in making a U/I turn vary from person to person. I believe that a successful U/I turn will be achieved after careful consideration of such questions as "Are there jobs in the area? The reality is that there are companies, people, and living environments with great aspirations in the region, but there are few opportunities to feel them close to home. Through this workshop, we hope to connect people and thoughts in the Tokyo metropolitan area and the region, and contribute to closing the gap between the two. We also hope to contribute to the creation of a sustainable community through continuous action, rather than one-off events.
