Wagashi Yamakatsura やまかつら

 Yamakatｓura

I’d like to introduce a sweet I bought at a Japanese sweets shop in Matsue, Saiundo.

I bought the Japanese sweets, Yamakatｓura, there. 

The green side was soft. It was like a sponge cake made with powdered green tea (this tea is called matcha in Japanese ) and it was a little sweet. The purple side was made of sweet red bean paste (in Japanese, azuki). It was a little bit hard like gelatin had been added, and it was very sweet. It was sweeter than the green side.

The food texture and taste of both sides were different but when I ate both sides together, it tasted terrific!

If you have a chance, you should try it!
