About Wagashi
Wagashi is an essential part of Japanese culture and tradition, that is, to enjoy as a treat and an art to express the passing seasons. Wagashi can be enjoyed with its appearance, such as the color and the form. For example, Wagashi in summer can express ‘coolness’ with a clear jelly to represent water or freshness to help getting through the hot and humid summer season. This is another way to learn Japanese traditional and actually experience it by cooking!
