I love how wagashi look! They're so beautiful, nearly too good to eat. But you can't get them here in Germany, so I don't know how they taste.. But still, I love to look at photographs of them! Especially those with "water", goldfish, and maple leafs in them.
ReplyDelete@mysli,
ReplyDeleteI'm happy if you like them.^ ^ They're coated by "Kanten"(kind of jelly),that is why they look like "water".And they taste like plum,because plum liqueur is used for them.
Yes,goldfish and maple leafs,water,they produce cool atmosphere.We want to feel cool in hot summer,so we enjoy these kind of cool-looking desserts.
