★ Apr 30, 2019 Ikko-an, Tokyo: n/a ——– The current Emperor of Japan succeeded his father, ascending the throne on May 1, when the new imperial era called “Reiwa” started.

From left to right, ‘joyo’, ‘nerikiri’ and ‘habutae’ types combined respectively with ‘koshi-an’, ‘shiro tsubu-an’ and ‘tsubu-an’. ——– The Western calendar is widely used in Japan, where people also use the traditional Japanese calendar – the numbering system based on imperial era names. The year 2019 corresponds to ‘Reiwa gan'nen (the first year of Reiwa)’. ——– #wagashi #japanesesweets #sweets #tea #teaceremony #chanoyu #food #foodie #dessert #beautifulcuisines #foodart #patisserie #cuisine #japan #japanese #matcha #tokyo #東京 #和菓子 #お菓子 #スイーツ #お茶 #抹茶 #茶道 #一幸庵 #令和 https://www.instagram.com/p/BzMP4mhgYqc/?igshid=gn7mz8tv73pn -- source link
