Wagashi is Japanese sweets. Wagashi is one of the Japanese traditional confectioneries, that is served with Japanese green tea. Japanese sweets are typically made of rice, wheat, red bean paste, and sugar etc. Nerikiri is similar to Marzipan in appearance, but they are different things. Nerikiri is made from sweet white bean paste and gyuhi which is made of glutinous rice. The dough is tinted with various colors and sculpted into various shapes. Nerikiri represents Japanese nature. It's so beautiful, and we can enjoy the Japanese four seasons.

The Japanese have been, for centuries, incredible masters of technique and craft. They always seem to find the most efficient ways to master a given task. I can't help but think this is due to their culture of being the best that they can be for the greater community.

Такую красоту даже есть не охото. Надо ставить в сервант, что бы все любовались! Это чудо- дивное!

I cannot imagine spending that much time on one bite of anything! Immense respect.

Japan is definitely my favorite country in the world. Really nothing you could complain about their stuff. The people are clean and polite as well. The only thing I wish for is the improvements in the work life balance within their country. There's no way our lazy Americans earn more than the most hardworking people - Japanese.

That was another example of the Japanese way, involving pride, precision and perfection!

I loved watching the beautiful work of art, that you can eat.❤️

Did anyone notice in the beginning that the chef perfectly measure 15 grams of candy perfectly on the first try 😭 that is so cool

To make a single candy, the attention to detail is mind-boggling.

Being Japanese, it must take at least 48 years to truly master this craft.

These are so beautiful. What a lovely idea for a wedding

Absolutely gorgeous! This kind of art and dedication is under appreciated.

They have some candies too. Some wagashi are candies. I understand the confusion, there’s no direct English translation for them. Wagashis are traditional japanese confectionaries or sweets, meant to be paired with tea.

⁠@@enlilly2405 I’ve been to this place. I haven’t tried the exact wagashi shown here, but the ones I did tasted delicious! Like all traditional wagashi shops, they offer a vast assortment that they make in-house. They change the type of wagashi they offer depending on the season. When I went there, it was summer so they had a watermelon shaped wagashi. In this video, there’s an orange or yuzu shaped wagashi, so it’s probably autumn/early winter season. Western sweets are usually made with dough/flour like pastries, because wheat is more common to Western climate. Whereas in Asia, rice is more common. Japanese wagashi are made with Asian ingredients like bean paste and glutinous rice. I don’t know if people who are not used to eating those ingredients will like that. I’m not Japanese, but I’m Asian and I love wagashi. The wagashi shop featured here is an 85+ year old wagashi shop. The type of artisan shop who spends their entire life mastering their craft and passing their techniques to the next generation. That was my first time to see wagashis and I was amazed. Since then, I always endeavor to get some wagashi whenever I visit Japan. There’s a nearby little hidden tea shop, just a short walk from there. I ate my wagashi there with some tea and cats keeping me company. Kagurazaka is one of the most beautiful and magical places to visit in Tokyo.

I like the artistry but I have had wagashi, they don't flavour the beanpaste dough much with different flavours. If they added orange oil in the skin and tangerine sugar in the core, that would make it so much better. Otherwise, most of the wagashi, no matter how well shaped - taste like normal white beanpaste (with the core being red beanpaste).
