"Wagashi" is Japanese traditional sweets, typically served with Japanese green tea. These are commonly made of rice and wheat flours, azuki beans and other kinds of beans, sugar, starch syrup, some with eggs... "Wagashi" are primarily intended as a complement to the taste of green tea, served at traditional tea ceremonies. Therefore, the beautiful appearance is admired as well as the taste. Quite often, the season of the year or the nature such as flowers, birds, the moon, etc... is expressed in its appearance. Also, very healthy, as artificial flavors are rarely used so as not to affect the taste of tea.

That's excellent information, thank you! Everything about Japanese cuisine is amazing. It's always aesthetically pleasing. The ingredients are the freshest and best quality available and I love that. But despite the sheer artistry, in this case I still have a problem with in the way it is made ... I can SEE how perfectly manicured the artist's hands are, but I still can't get past the fact that the food is constantly in contact with his hands ... Why not surgeon's type gloves? I know, it's probably just me being O.C.D. again ...

I think out of all the cultural cooking shows I've watched, the Japanese are the truest masters of "feasting with the eyes as well as the mouth." So much beauty in these dishes! I'm so jealous that my area doesn't have anything like this to go try out a real Japanese sweet.
I'd rather have a gloveless Japanese person than a gloved American teenager make my food P.S They don't use gloves cause it'll ruin the texture and wrinkle it, and workers always do their best to make it perfect

Somehow reading many comments about 'wearing gloves' makes me a little uncomfortable. In many places in Asia, cooking or eating with your bare hands is common. your body is not that weak to be infected, the only thing that makes all this look worse is YOUR MIND. You need to know that there are RNAse enzymes in your hands and you need to know what the benefits of having them too 🤔 Of course your hands are healthy if they are clean. after all, if we are always afraid of getting dirty, our body might not be trained in its immune power. You cant eat good stuff forever, if you know what i mean. Edit : i don't mean to generalizing all country here. Just don't know how to say it so i write "in many place in asia" (PLACE, not country 😅). I write "cooking OR eating" too, it's mean maybe some country just cooking with hand but not with eating, or the opposite, or both. Cooking here include making dough, cutting, decorating, or preparing like in the video too. And common doesn't mean always. It can be mean as tradition/culture. I hope people will remind me more so i can make better explanation. Thank you for your help 🙏 sorry if i make you misunderstand it 😌 Note : i still learning english. I want to try without google translate help 😂

For those that are wondering what the flavor is like, it’s not that great, but not bad. Just pretty much a single bean paste flavor. The importance is that the sweet flavor compliments the bitter matcha, creating an awesome experience. The matcha tea is amazing, but more flavorful with these. AAAAAND they look Uber seasonal and pretty. It’s something you’d enjoy very quietly and ponder on the shape/design of your wagashi.

I am Japanese. I was sad because I found a comment that all wagashi taste the same😔💦 wagashi have a sweet and delicate taste. That is because wagashi enhance the deliciousness of matcha. There was also a comment that not wearing gloves is unsanitary. They are thoroughly sanitized. Not because there was a coronavirus. Japan is a country with very strict hygiene management, so we have been thorough since the beginning. We understand that. Video is not everything. wagashi are completely different depending on the type and shop.

Not supposed to be expensive and not meant to eat quantities. You eat only one or two to eat along with a Japanese tea to enhance its flavor. Tea is the main thing to enjoy and not the sweets. And this place is just for a show catered to foreigners and people who don’t know better..we never eat sweets at a counter as it’s not a fast food but a part of tea ceremony originally and we eat at a table in a tea house not a counter, never. It costs only $2-3 in the best sweet houses that have been around for centuries. Get to know the Japanese culture and don’t just go for the hype like most foreigners do.

Traditional Japanese sweets "wagashi" are not only eaten. Japanese confectionery has a strong connection with the four seasons, and has the characteristic of expressing a sense of season not only by taste but also by visual beauty. It is a Japanese-like idea that "not only the taste but also the visual sense of the season". It is a delicate and elegant sweet that is carefully made by Japanese sweets craftsmen and changes depending on the temperature and humidity of the day. It has a light and elegant sweetness that goes well with green tea and has been eaten as a Japanese tea contractor since ancient times. You can enjoy completely different sweets depending on the shop. So if you are interested, you may find your favorite "wagashi". This is an important culture of Japan. Please come and experience Japanese culture.

After boiling and removing any impurities, smoosh it with bit of icing sugar Or honey You can try maple syrup for colour and flavour Also u can add bit of spice when you boil your beans, but no too much to over power it. A bit of food colouring and taste it Of course it wouldn’t be exactly the same but at least you would have an idea of texture I like adding fresh fruit to mine for added flavour 😊
