Wagashi is Japanese sweets. Wagashi is one of the Japanese traditional confectioneries, that is served with Japanese green tea. Japanese sweets are typically made of rice, wheat, red bean paste, and sugar etc. Nerikiri is similar to Marzipan in appearance, but they are different things. Nerikiri is made from sweet white bean paste and gyuhi which is made of glutinous rice. The dough is tinted with various colors and sculpted into various shapes. Nerikiri represents Japanese nature. It's so beautiful, and we can enjoy the Japanese four seasons.

The Japanese have been, for centuries, incredible masters of technique and craft. They always seem to find the most efficient ways to master a given task. I can't help but think this is due to their culture of being the best that they can be for the greater community.
Japan is definitely my favorite country in the world. Really nothing you could complain about their stuff. The people are clean and polite as well. The only thing I wish for is the improvements in the work life balance within their country. There's no way our lazy Americans earn more than the most hardworking people - Japanese.
They have every right to be that price. Just look at that handmade craftsmanship. They take time and consideration making it NOT look like “it’s just going to end up in your stomach anyways”
Even wrapping them up they got tht diligent work and patience with elegance and meticulous preparation. Something about Japanese hard working people that I highly respect for
.@@Noah0727Kingscholar Aha!!!! That's what it was? Anko? I was wondering about the ingredients he used! Beautiful arts pieces~ Too precious to eat!! 😂😅
I love collecting different types of candy. I've loved saving candy and not eating it since I was a child. I do eat candy, just very little. I've never had a cavity and I'm 57. I would love to be able to get some of these beautiful candies! 🍭🍬🍫💜
this type of traditional sweets is called wagashi if I’m not wrong, bought a box of 5-6 cakes once, very beautiful, they looked different but had the same taste and weren’t too sweet so I enjoyed it
That's correct. Wagashi 和菓子 is a general term for Japanese sweets. These things in this video are also a type of wagashi called Nerikiri 練りきり or Jo-nama-gashi 上生菓子.
They have some candies too. Some wagashi are candies. I understand the confusion, there’s no direct English translation for them. Wagashis are traditional japanese confectionaries or sweets, meant to be paired with tea.
@@enlilly2405 I’ve been to this place. I haven’t tried the exact wagashi shown here, but the ones I did tasted delicious! Like all traditional wagashi shops, they offer a vast assortment that they make in-house. They change the type of wagashi they offer depending on the season. When I went there, it was summer so they had a watermelon shaped wagashi. In this video, there’s an orange or yuzu shaped wagashi, so it’s probably autumn/early winter season. Western sweets are usually made with dough/flour like pastries, because wheat is more common to Western climate. Whereas in Asia, rice is more common. Japanese wagashi are made with Asian ingredients like bean paste and glutinous rice. I don’t know if people who are not used to eating those ingredients will like that. I’m not Japanese, but I’m Asian and I love wagashi. The wagashi shop featured here is an 85+ year old wagashi shop. The type of artisan shop who spends their entire life mastering their craft and passing their techniques to the next generation. That was my first time to see wagashis and I was amazed. Since then, I always endeavor to get some wagashi whenever I visit Japan. There’s a nearby little hidden tea shop, just a short walk from there. I ate my wagashi there with some tea and cats keeping me company. Kagurazaka is one of the most beautiful and magical places to visit in Tokyo.
China dumps more untreated radioactive water from their reactors per year than fukushima caused. Not to mention their toxic runoffs from all their unregulated factories and such. China loves to point out other countries' faults while admitting none of their own way worse ones.
So beautiful and so tasty. I love these Japanese wa-gashi. But how unkind it is to bite into so easy. In Japan, these delicious cakes are eaten with a small bamboo fork and green tea and a lot of admiration. とても美しくてとてもおいしいです。 私はこの日本の和菓子が大好きです。 しかし、そう簡単に食いつくのはなんと不親切なことでしょう。 日本では、このおいしいケーキは小さな竹フォークと緑茶と一緒に食べられ、とても賞賛されています。
🎎🎋I couldn't be so happy for all Earthlings: that we have such an amazing phenomenon - Japanese people. They are examples of excellence ☝️.I wish them prosperity and longevity ❤❤❤❤.
I like the artistry but I have had wagashi, they don't flavour the beanpaste dough much with different flavours. If they added orange oil in the skin and tangerine sugar in the core, that would make it so much better. Otherwise, most of the wagashi, no matter how well shaped - taste like normal white beanpaste (with the core being red beanpaste).
私の祖父が和菓子職人でした😊
こんなにすごい腕ではなかったけれど、お正月には花びら餅を作り、茶道の師範だった祖母と地元の警察署で新年茶会の手伝いをしていた事を思い出します
子供の頃で嫌々手伝ってましたが、二人とも亡くなってしまった今、この動画を見て改めて祖父祖母の偉大さを感じました。
暖かい気持ちにしてくれ有難うございます❤
Did anyone notice in the beginning that the chef perfectly measure 15 grams of candy perfectly on the first try 😭 that is so cool
I used to be able to do that. It takes a LOT of practice :)

These are $4-6 USD each for those wondering.
That was in 2018. now it’s 7-9 usd

It is, It's so safe and peaceful there that it's one of the least crime ridden countries in the world, and on top of that everyone is super friendly!
