Okinawa Cinnamon Cookie

By Marukiyo

Despite its small size, Ogimi Village produces an impressive amount of different goods. Cinnamon might be a rather unexpected one, but the village is home to many cinnamon trees well over 100 years old. Usually cinnamon is made from the bark, but in Ogimi the leaves are used instead, as they also possess a high amount of flavor and aroma, protecting the valuable trees.

Paired with plenty of brown sugar, this cookie is guaranteed to be an afternoon tea highlight.
