Japanese Food - The MOST BEAUTIFUL HANDMADE CANDY in Japan! Baikatei Tokyo

[@仕事面倒臭い]

私の祖父が和菓子職人でした😊 こんなにすごい腕ではなかったけれど、お正月には花びら餅を作り、茶道の師範だった祖母と地元の警察署で新年茶会の手伝いをしていた事を思い出します 子供の頃で嫌々手伝ってましたが、二人とも亡くなってしまった今、この動画を見て改めて祖父祖母の偉大さを感じました。 暖かい気持ちにしてくれ有難うございます❤

[@chulluby]

Did anyone notice in the beginning that the chef perfectly measure 15 grams of candy perfectly on the first try 😭 that is so cool

[@ishmikara4181]

I used to be able to do that. It takes a LOT of practice :)

[@jenniferwong4530]

Watching the dexterity of the candy makers fingers is mesmerizing. Japanese artworks are perfection.

Estoy de acuerdo 😊

[@user-aya1106]

Wagashi is Japanese sweets. Wagashi is one of the Japanese traditional confectioneries, that is served with Japanese green tea. Japanese sweets are typically made of rice, wheat, red bean paste, and sugar etc. Nerikiri is similar to Marzipan in appearance, but they are different things. Nerikiri is made from sweet white bean paste and gyuhi which is made of glutinous rice. The dough is tinted with various colors and sculpted into various shapes. Nerikiri represents Japanese nature. It's so beautiful, and we can enjoy the Japanese four seasons.

Thank you ❤

[@felinetropical8822]

What about yogashi?

[@tamagogohann]

@@felinetropical8822 it's just western style sweets wheat based cakes, castella, cheesecake etc. they're usually less sweet than their western versions but still delicious

[@AlphaMachina]

The Japanese have been, for centuries, incredible masters of technique and craft. They always seem to find the most efficient ways to master a given task. I can't help but think this is due to their culture of being the best that they can be for the greater community.

Japan is definitely my favorite country in the world. Really nothing you could complain about their stuff. The people are clean and polite as well. The only thing I wish for is the improvements in the work life balance within their country. There's no way our lazy Americans earn more than the most hardworking people - Japanese.

If you happen to see this comment, hello! I've never had the chance to taste or even see this in person. The amount of care and dedication it takes to make something so intricate and beautiful, it's almost a shame to eat it. Though I'm sure that part of the enjoyment of doing something like this is knowing it's bringing someone else joy from the taste as well as the visual beauty. I hope one day I can enjoy this with someone.

this type of traditional sweets is called wagashi if I’m not wrong, bought a box of 5-6 cakes once, very beautiful, they looked different but had the same taste and weren’t too sweet so I enjoyed it

[@verbum01]

That's correct. Wagashi 和菓子 is a general term for Japanese sweets. These things in this video are also a type of wagashi called Nerikiri 練りきり or Jo-nama-gashi 上生菓子.

[@Noah0727Kingscholar]

和菓子は日本の文化や四季とともに受け継がれてきた伝統的なお菓子のこと。 その歴史は古く、縄文時代に木の実で作られた団子が起源と言われていて和菓子の特徴は米や麦豆など、おもに植物性の材料で作られているとされてるね。 この動画のものは練り切りと呼ばれるもので和菓子の一種だよ

[@Noah0727Kingscholar]

It's not a candy but a fresh confectionery

[@enlilly2405]

But what about the taste?

[@ethonica]

They have some candies too. Some wagashi are candies. I understand the confusion, there’s no direct English translation for them. Wagashis are traditional japanese confectionaries or sweets, meant to be paired with tea.

[@ethonica]

⁠@@enlilly2405 I’ve been to this place. I haven’t tried the exact wagashi shown here, but the ones I did tasted delicious! Like all traditional wagashi shops, they offer a vast assortment that they make in-house. They change the type of wagashi they offer depending on the season. When I went there, it was summer so they had a watermelon shaped wagashi. In this video, there’s an orange or yuzu shaped wagashi, so it’s probably autumn/early winter season. Western sweets are usually made with dough/flour like pastries, because wheat is more common to Western climate. Whereas in Asia, rice is more common. Japanese wagashi are made with Asian ingredients like bean paste and glutinous rice. I don’t know if people who are not used to eating those ingredients will like that. I’m not Japanese, but I’m Asian and I love wagashi. The wagashi shop featured here is an 85+ year old wagashi shop. The type of artisan shop who spends their entire life mastering their craft and passing their techniques to the next generation. That was my first time to see wagashis and I was amazed. Since then, I always endeavor to get some wagashi whenever I visit Japan. There’s a nearby little hidden tea shop, just a short walk from there. I ate my wagashi there with some tea and cats keeping me company. Kagurazaka is one of the most beautiful and magical places to visit in Tokyo.

[@Grimmwoldds]

@@enlilly2405 Probably not very sweet, mostly a starchy taste.

So beautiful and so tasty. I love these Japanese wa-gashi. But how unkind it is to bite into so easy. In Japan, these delicious cakes are eaten with a small bamboo fork and green tea and a lot of admiration. とても美しくてとてもおいしいです。 私はこの日本の和菓子が大好きです。 しかし、そう簡単に食いつくのはなんと不親切なことでしょう。 日本では、このおいしいケーキは小さな竹フォークと緑茶と一緒に食べられ、とても賞賛されています。

I like the artistry but I have had wagashi, they don't flavour the beanpaste dough much with different flavours. If they added orange oil in the skin and tangerine sugar in the core, that would make it so much better. Otherwise, most of the wagashi, no matter how well shaped - taste like normal white beanpaste (with the core being red beanpaste).

[@細山田太郎]

日本は貧相で資源の少ない国です。そのような状況下で味や材料以外の客へのサービスを追求した結果が、この見た目の美しいお菓子なのでしょうね
