Yet one more example of the exquisite artistry found in Japanese cuisine. No other cuisine can compare. Thanks for such a special segment!

Last year, the fireflies seemed to congregate around the second and third bridges over the canal on the Tetsugaku no michi. They are so rare now, people made special “pilgrimages” to see them, bringing their children. Everyone was quiet as they blinked on and off.

This has to be one of the cutest themed wagashi ever! I’ve seen fireflies in India, but only now and then. It always feels like something special, seeing a couple of floating lights around, makes me smile. c:

Absolutely beautiful and so artistic the edible fireflies.. I’m sure it tastes as good as it looks as well.
