Wagashi


Wagashi is the confection that is served during a tea ceremony. Its shape and flavor change according to the season being honored. This is a persimmon in honor of fall. In British tea, snacks and tea are consumed at the same time. In Japanese tea, the confection is eaten first, allowing you to fully experience the sweetness that will soon fade into the taste of tea.
