★ Jun. 1, 2019Toraya, Tokyo: ajisai (hydrangea) ——– ‘Kinton’-type Japanese cake stuffed with chunky-type sweet bean paste ‘tsubu-an’ and partly topped with tiny, translucent 'kohaku-to’ pieces. ——– Hydrangea, a shrub flowering in June (and early July), is one of the typical symbols of this season for the Japanese, and the word “ajisai” has been used as a season word 'kigo’ for (early) summer in Japanese poetry for almost 1000 years. ——– #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 #とらや #紫陽花 https://www.instagram.com/japanese_sweets_2010/p/Byt4_nuAEFy/?igshid=pzqw9clbpx1l -- source link
