from a pastry shop in Shizuoka:
traditional Japanese sweets are called "wagashi", differentiated from Western cakes known as "yogashi.
Wagashi are made from sugar, rice, soybeans and sometimes by mizuame, syrup from glutinous rice. Not used fats and dairy products. Especially
have the figure that corresponds to the seasons. They have elegant names and literals. The names are often linked to the poems and novels of old. Knowing what works are cited by the word or phrase, you understand why the shape and color of the candy. This is one of the reasons why the cookies were appreciated during the traditional tea ceremony.
pictures of various cakes, in order from spring to winter.
Image sotto è delle pagine in "Otoko Chohoki" (o "Nanchohoki", 1693), che presentano i dolcetti. Il libro è come un'enciclopedia fatta per uomini, cioè il libro sull'istruzione culturale, in cui vengono spiegati anche i dolci. E' stato pubblicato contemporaneamente anche "Onna Chohoki" per donne. Erano libri di successo.
