🌕🐇BEFORE THE SWALLOWS LEAVE🌾🌰

In the traditional calendar September 2nd–7th is known as 'kokumono sunawachi minoru' (禾乃登 'rice ripens'). This bountiful season is marked by a rich variety of sweets inspired by sunsets, the arrival of harvest time, and the '7 Flowers of Autumn'.

Kameya Tomonaga's (亀屋友永) cute little 'yakiguri shōro' (焼栗松露) contain chopped pieces of chestnut. 'Yakiguri' (焼栗) are roasted chestnuts, and shōro (松露) is a type of edible fungus...which the sweets resemble.

Tsuruya Yoshinobu's (鶴屋吉信) Halloween 'jack'o'lantern' (パンプキン) and 'ghost' (ゴースト) are as adorable as they are delicious!

Harvest season is almost upon us, and autumn brings with it a bounty of fruit and vegetable inspired sweets.
Kagizen's (鍵善) 'sato-no-aki' (里の秋 'autumn countryside' or 'autumn village') depicts a wonderfully plump little persimmon.

Owls make a regular appearance in Beniya Miyake's (紅谷三宅) annual line-up.

Last autumn's creations were known as "owls that bring good fortune" (幸運を呼ぶミミズク)🦉😋

The sweet is finished off with a squeeze of sharp lemon syrup...🍋💦✨😲😊

To combat the sweltering summer afternoon, how about a refreshing snack from Kameyama Yoshinaga (亀屋良長) that looks like a miniature kakigōri (かき氷)🍧
The sweet's name, 'nōryō' (納涼), loosely translates as 'finding a cool breeze to escape the heat'😎

#亀屋良長 #wagashi

Kinton (金団) are small balls of sweet bean paste covered in a colourful, shredded type of dough (commonly made from a type of potato). Nowadays they have an almost fuzzy appearance.

This is how Itotatsu-san makes the 'sei-no-hana' (聖の花)...

#wagashi #和菓子 #Kyoto #京都

Seiyō-san's (青洋) latest creation is a beautiful, water lily-inspired sweet called 'sōryō' (爽涼), which simply means 'refreshing cool'.

The slightly watercolour quality of the sweet brings to mind Claude Monet's (1840–1926) 'Water Lilies'.

Gyōja mochi (行者餅) is a thin pancake wrapped around gyūhi (求肥 - a thin type of mochi) and a paste of white miso seasoned with sanshō (山椒 - Japanese pepper).
The pepper gives the otherwise sweet confection a nice spicy (and fruity) punch😯

Queueing in 35 degree heat for over three hours for a sweet that is available only once a year...🌞⏱️🥹

July 16th was 'gyōja mochi' day (行者餅)🙌

The sweet is sold exclusively by Kashiwaya Mitsusada (柏屋光貞) in Gion.

Yasaka-jinja's crests are a popular motif for many sweets at this time of year...

Oimatsu's 'ao-ume' (青梅), a sweet we often serve to guests this month🙌
Ume fruit picked on June 16th is known as 'kashō-no-ume' (嘉祥の梅). There is a superstition that if you dry out the plums and eat them then you will escape misfortune and other disasters✨

#嘉祥の梅 #梅 #ume #Kyoto #京都 #wagashi #和菓子 #老松

For those who can't wait for the fruit to mature, juicy looking 'aoume' (青梅) offer a nice, sweet alternative.

Shioyoshiken's (塩芳軒) annual offering...

#wagashi #和菓子 #Kyoto #京都 #青梅 #ume #plum

The weather is warm and the baby ume are plumping up nicely...so thoughts naturally turn to refreshing 'ao-ume' (青梅 'unripe plums')🙌
Kameya Yoshinaga's (亀屋良長) vibrant 🍑-like version contain a delicious ume jelly within.

Inside the cheerful little eggplant is white bean paste mixed with black sesame seeds, mimicking the flesh of the fruit😋

🍉🥒FRUIT AND VEG🍒🍑

There is something quite adorable about traditional sweets that mimic (or incorporate) seasonal fruit and vegetables.

For a few short weeks in May each year Toraya (とらや) produce a plump little sweet called 'nasubi-mochi' (なすび餅 'eggplant mochi')🍆
#Kyoto #wagashi

One unusual dish that we enjoyed in rainy season last year was Kagijin's (かぎ甚) delicate slivers of white miso mizu yōkan (白味噌水ようかん). Slightly salted and lightly tasting of yuzu, from a distance the gorgeous sweet almost looks like thin slices of fish🧐
#wagashi #和菓子

Some of my most anticipated waka-ayu come courtesy of nearby Itotatsu (いと達).

The ruddy-cheeked 'horoyoi-ayu' (ほろ酔い鮎), looking a little tipsy from their nihonshu (日本酒) and coconut flavoured filling, are a firm favourite here at the teahouse🤣

Me: How many waka-ayu have you eaten this year Nao-chan?
Nao-san: ...........
(minutes pass)
Me: Are you having trouble remembering?
Nao-san: No, I'm still counting.

To refresh the senses on this stuffy day, a minatsuki (水無月) that really does look like it's been crafted from ice🧊🤤

Tsuruya Kakuju-an's (鶴屋鶴壽庵) twist on the minatsuki has the beans inside kuzu!
#wagashi #和菓子 #Kyoto #京都 #Japan

Kagizen's (かぎ甚) twist on the traditional minatsuki is one of the most interesting...

🤍🫘- delicately flavoured with yuzu-peel (白 - ゆず皮入り)
🤎🫘- hōji-cha (roasted green tea - ほうじ茶)

🧊A SLICE OF ICE📐
One sweet that arrives just in time for the fierce summer heat is 'minatsuki' (水無月 aka 'minazuki').

Like many of Kyōto's mid-year confections, minatsuki are not themselves cooling, but were designed to turn our thoughts to ice and shade.

👵RESPECT-FOR-THE-AGED DAY👴

Today is Keirō-no-hi (敬老の日) in Japan🎊
Traditionally held on September 15th, in 2003 the national holiday was changed to the 3rd Monday in September. Commemorative silver saké cups are given by the government to those who have turned 100.

if only, when one heard
that old age was coming
one could bolt the door
answer "not at home"
and refuse to meet him!
-Anonymous author, from the Kokin Wakashū (古今和歌集).
