The balmy days of May,
Before the summer heat rolls.
May's seasonal wagashi are made of two kinds of vegetables.
One of them is made with new potatoes. The mashed potatoes stewed with a little white bean paste, a nip of salt is added as a seasoning. With a topping of sugared black soybeans, the flavor and texture of beans is fully bring out.
The other has a ginger taste. To provide paste drawing at maximum taste, grating ginger is mixed in the white kidney bean paste, and ground black sesame is added. Preserved ginger is for topping, and kingyokukan(agar-agar and sugar melted together and chilled) is for coating.
We serve a cup of green matcha tea (or choice of coffee) and our wagashi based on our textile design.
