Mizuhikiso 水引草


 We’ll introduce the wagashi Mizuhikisou. You can buy it at Keigetsudo, a famous wagashi shop in Matsue.

 Mizuhikiso means Jumpseed flower in English.
Mizuhikiso (Jumpseed flower in English)


The flower is not familiar to us, but it is cute with tiny red and white flower. The wagashi is decorated to represent the flower, leaf and vine. The light violet color is so beautiful!

The texture of this wagashi is soft and smooth. There is strained red bean paste (koshi-an) inside. And the outside is slightly sticky because it is made from white bean paste, rice flour and sugar (nerikiri). This wagashi has a gentle sweetness which complements powdered green tea.
