The scarlet light of daybreak
Shines on the big waves.
The beginning of a new year
on a calm and peaceful sea.
We made two sweet confections for January, one in white and and the other in black, so they could look sharper with this dynamic painting of red and white waves. At the height of yuzu season, the white confection tastes of rich yuzu. It is made of sweetened white bean paste mixed with yuzu skin and yuzu juice. The topping is made of yuzu and coated with agar-agar. The black confection tastes of savory black sesame. It is made of sweet white bean paste mixed with tasty black sesame paste along with grinded roasted black sesame seeds. It is coated with agar-agar and a gold leaf on top of it to celebrate the new year.
We serve a cup of green matcha tea (or choice of coffee) and our wagashi based on our textile design.
