In Japan, heat wave is covering over the sky this week, and many cities are experiencing extremely hot weather.
One of the means to cool yourself is to enjoy "Wagashi" or Japanese confection.
Wagashi is always made according to the seasonal theme, and in summer, confectioners make Wagashi evoking cool impression.
It is not the direct method to cool you, like ice cream, but it brings visual coolness that makes you forget the heat for a moment.
