Summary: Savor the Season Through Winter Wagashi Ingredients<\/h2>\n

Making winter wagashi calls for seasonal ingredients such as yuzu, adzuki beans, chestnut, and plum.<\/p>\n

The refreshing aroma of yuzu adds an exquisite accent to sweet wagashi, and the elegant sweetness of adzuki beans forms the foundation of wagashi. The fluffy texture of chestnut and the splendid color of plum are essential elements of New Year's wagashi. Translucent water confections made with pure bracken starch or hon-kuzu adorn winter tea gatherings.<\/p>\n
