Wagashi are traditional Japanese confections with a long history, made from simple ingredients such as beans, sugar, and rice flour.
Wagashi celebrates seasonality with an acute awareness of nature, and are enjoyed not only through taste, aroma, sight, and texture, but also through their names, each one carefully chosen to conjure an immediate image and stir an emotional response in the listener. In this way, a single wagashi can be experienced through all five senses.
