New Matsue Kashi





SMALL APPLE 
This wagashi looks cute! We can enjoy the strong flavor of apple in this little sweet. It is made from minced apple with savory white bean paste. It uses cherry's stem instead of apple's for the stem. This completely new wagashi is a taste explosion!








HANAICHIGO
"HANA" means  a flower and "ICHIGO" means a strawberry. Its appearance is cute and its color is pink, white and brown. Its texture is soft and melts in your month. Its taste is very sweet. We're surprised that it's very thick and sweet. We think it suits American tastes rather than Japanese tastes.


 


SHAKE HANDS
Akushu (SHAKE HANDS) is made by Furyudo as new Wagashi. This dough is made from fresh cream and cream cheese. This sweet bean paste inside, has pieces of ginger and grapefruit mixed in it. The ginger,grapefruit and orange-liqueur tastes and fragrance are very strong. This Wagashi's taste is a little like marmalade.



CHARO
CHARO is new wagashi in which we can enjoy Japanese tea's flavor with peanuts' flavor because there are Macha, Sencha, white chocolate and peanuts mixed in layers with white bean paste. However, CHARO has a despite these different tastes. CHARO's texture is soft and like a cake. It tastes good with coffee. Its appearance displays a beautiful contrast between the green of the Macha and the white of the white chocolate. If you can eat CHARO, you will be able to feel Japan.









KURUMI
You can enjoy walnut flavor and texture. The outside of this wagashi is a steamed bun like manju. The inside has a sweet bean paste and walnut filling.









MOMIJI
The appearance is a beautiful green and orange tinge with the garnishes of Japanese Maple. It resembles the color of leaves turning from green to orange.
It's main characteristics are the soft dough and the flavor of yuzu which is a citrus fruit native to Asia. It melts in your mouth like a marshmallow or meriengue.



 



PUMPKIN TART
You can enjoy soft pumpkin and its flavor once you eat. It is not so sweet so it make me want to eat more.


 






MOMOKA
