Wagashi is Japanese-style confection made by skilled confectioners.
Each confectioner makes Wagashi of the season on his own design, which means that you can enjoy Wagashi of different design for the same motif.
In autumn, chrysanthemum and maple leaf are often chosen as the theme.
It might be fun for you to see Wagashi of elaborate design if you have chance.
The following Wagashi is all from Tsukushi Makita, a long-established confectionary in Hanazono, Otaru.
