]]> My first attempt at making Wagashi (和菓子). Wagashi is the word for traditional Japanese sweets. When you crave it, and if it’s difficult to get where you live, you just need to learn how to make it yourself!

These are made with bean paste. Can you believe it? And as you could imagine, it requires a lot of time, effort, and skill.

I love having Wagashi, but this experience made me have more appreciation for the Wagashi creators, and also made me not to eat them so quick even though they are really small!

What do you think? It’s kind of too beautiful to eat, right? But then I have a taste and I can’t not eat it. 😉

]]> I really miss Japanese sweet shops and cafes, ever since moving to the US. In Tokyo, they are literally everywhere. Well, actually, everything is literally everywhere. 😉 There are some good bakeries and cake shops here in LA (I like 85 degrees, a Taiwanese bakery shop with several locations in Los Angeles). But unfortunately, there are not many options for Japanese sweet shops here.

And honestly speaking, the cakes and sweets here are too sugary and sweet for Japanese taste. We like a more subtle and less sweet taste. Sweet but not too sweet. Just the perfect balance. We want to enjoy the flavor of the ingredients individually.

So I have started to experiment with making sweets at home. This is my first attempt at making Japanese Fruit Sando (フルーツサンド). It was a perfect match with my Matcha latte, made with this product!
