Wagashi: More Kawaii, Father’s Day Wagashi (お父さん ありがとう)
Father’s Day, ‘Kyoto’ style. Yummy wagashi on the theme of work, fishing and love. Thanks Dad!
While wandering around Gion, Peko dropped into one of his favorite wagashi shops and discovered these delightful Father’s Day themed wagashi set. Kawaii indeed goes a long way to communicate feelings of love and affection.

Hey Steamy,
Long time no comment! Sorry, I haven’t stopped by your blog recently either.
Yes, these are indeed cute! Amazing what these folks come up with!
🙂
these are so cool!
Why can’t they have those here?! I want!
These look so sweet! 🙂
What are they made of?
Hello maybelles mom,

Hi cakewardrobe,
I am sure that I would feel the same way if I were in NY. But, I heard that you can get wagashi in NY now? No?
Hello Michelle,
Namagashi (wagashi for tea ceremony) are rather sweet, the sweetness is to offset the bitterness of the maccha tea. But, by Western food standards, namagashi is not that sweet, I don’t think. Also, the sweetness is a very delicate and refined one, not at all cheap.
These are made of various kinds of bean paste. (as are most nagamgashi)
I love your blog so much, and learn a lot from you. Thank you very much~~
