Reminiscing Japan - Wagashi Day

Steph and I were invited to this Wagashi making place. XD We saw and made lotsa Wagashi. According to Wikipedia, Wagashi (和菓子^?) is a traditional Japanese confectionery which is often served with tea, especially the types made of mochi, azuki bean paste, and fruits. Wagashi is typically made from natural based (mainly plant) ingredients. The names used for wagashi commonly fit a formula—a natural beauty and a word from ancient literature; they are thus often written with hyōgaiji (kanji that are not commonly used or known), and are glossed withfurigana.
