What Is Wagashi?

Wagashi refers to Japanese traditional sweets

Japan is known for its beautiful four seasons, which serve as a backdrop for its exquisite taste that cherishes the richness of nature and culture.
Traditional Japanese sweets, symbolizing the seasons, delicately express the unique beauty of nature, allowing one to experience the sense of the season through taste as well. They also play an important role in narrating the history of Japan, being a heritage passed down through generations.
These are not mere sweets, but works of art that showcase the craftsmanship of the ‘artisan’. There is a commitment to carefully selected ingredients and a safe manufacturing process, preserving the natural taste.
In addition to being delicious, these sweets are also designed with health in mind, being rich in dietary fiber and low in calories.
Akasaka Aono is dedicated to spreading this delicate culture to the world, and through these traditional handmade sweets, we hope to bring the feel of Japanese seasons to everyone, no matter where they are.
Please enjoy the Japanese sweets that reflect the artisan’s attention to detail.
