  1. 'Waka-ayu' (若鮎) is a fish-shaped waffle with 'gyūhi' (求肥) filling.
    The features of the ayu are seared on with a hot iron, and occasionally the waffle is folded to create gills.

    Gyūhi is a softer version of mochi (餅), a sticky dough made from glutinous rice🤔

  2. 🐟🎣FISH FANCIES🍽️😋

    With all this rain forecast it seems fitting that today's snacks are fish themed.

    'Waka-ayu' (若鮎 'young sweetfish') are sold from late spring until summer's end, and although the sweets all look very similar, they have a multitude of small differences.
