Beautiful Japanese sweets that appear in the rainy season
Hydrangea flowers that give a little healing during the gloomy rainy season. I found a Japanese sweet that you can enjoy such hydrangea with your eyes and tongue at a long-established store, Toraya, so I will introduce it.
"Kinton-made hydrangea" is a namagashi with the image of hydrangea that blooms after the rain. Hydrangea is expressed in white and purple, and shining drops are expressed in transparent amber sugar.
Namagashi "Kinton-made Hydrangea" 450 yen (excluding tax, the same applies below)
The sweetness of white azuki beans and red bean paste that spreads gently and smoothly is accented by the smooth texture of agar. If you use tea, the elegant flavor will be even more pronounced. The sale period is until June 15th. It is sold at some stores that handle namagashi.
Moist and elegant sweetness
"Hydrangea" is also visible in the semi-namagashi and wet powdered sashimi, which is made by shaving bean paste and steaming it with Ogurakan in between. The beauty of hydrangea, where the color of the flower changes, is expressed in delicate shades of white, green, and purple.

Delicate shades unique to Japanese sweets
The soft upper and lower layers are moisturized by the central yokan, which retains the graininess of azuki beans, and the flavor of white azuki beans that spreads in the mouth is delicious. This is scheduled to be on sale until the end of June, and both are ideal as souvenirs as they can be carried around at room temperature.
You can enjoy various textures than yokan and it is delicious
Beautiful Japanese sweets that appear in stores only during this time, like the hydrangea that is in full bloom in June. How about for special occasion hospitality and gifts?
