What is Wagashi?

Wagashi is Japanese sweets. Wagashi is traditionally eaten with Sado which means the Japanese Tea ceremony. When visitors come, Japanese people serve green tea and wagashi.

Wagashi is very sweet but wagashi doesn't use oil or fats like butter. And, wagashi is a kind of art that expresses the beauty of the seasons. For example, summer's wagashi uses a lot of jelly-type sweets to make you feel cool.  

Wagashi is becoming popular all over the world.  In New York and Paris, Matsue Wagashi craftsmen introduced wagashi and Japanese tea to the people there.
