Did you see the tiny ladybird and dew on top of the leaf??? :-D This one has a dollop of Anko
My favourite is the sea-blue cube-like wagashi with 3 red color goldfish inside. It also looked like an Ice-cube...
This purplish wagashi is lovely too. This version has a firefly!

They look beautiful although it's the first time I see wagashi. At first sight I confused it with washabi which I tasted once and I swore never try it again. Anyway when I read that you get them in confectioneries I understood that they are sweet.
ReplyDeleteNice of you to share the photos as this is the first time I set my eyes on this beautiful snacks.
ReplyDeleteI can't bear to see it being eaten...haha
Hi Ivy,
ReplyDeleteOh nooo, I'm so sorry you have misadventure with wasabi (horseradish)... Actually, I love it... and another is the 'gari' - pickled ginger. Sushi gari is eaten to cleanse your palate or taste before you eat another different sashimi/sushi. I think is matter of preferences.
Hi CK Lam... you're right they are too beautiful to eat but temptation is too much :-P Also, the packaging...sigh... If permits my home will be full with Japanese boxes, wrappers & gift bags. They are too beautiful to throw away too :-(
ReplyDeleteThis is fascinating, thank you.
