After spotting them on Instagram, Nao-san ordered azarashi and penguin nerikiri (アザラシ和菓子/ペンギン和菓子) from Beniya Miyake (紅谷三宅) in Tochigi Prefecture.

Nona's (のな) 'steamed chestnut yōkan' (栗蒸し羊羹), with its slight brandy taste, is perfect as a teatime snack!🍷😋

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.

Narumi Mochi Honten's (鳴海餅本店) wonderfully plump and ever so autumnal 'kuri-mochi' (栗餅 'chestnut mochi)🙌
There was a huge chestnut hiding inside👀

In Japan chestnuts were cultivated long before rice, perhaps as early as 6000 years ago!🌰

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'.

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)🦉😋

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)...

One of the most unusual sweets I've seen this season again hints at cooling waters, but in a far more obscure way!

Shōjuken's (松壽軒) 'jakago' (蛇籠) was inspired by a type of cylindrical bamboo basket that was filled with stones and submerged to control river flow!😮
#和菓子

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'.

Kameya Yoshinaga's (亀屋良長) adorable 'hito-suzumi' (ひと涼み 'cooling off') are the perfect treat for July 27th's 'Suika-no-hi' (スイカの日)!🥳🍉🙌

Like bracken starch, kudzu was first farmed in Nara prefecture. In the Momoyama period kudzu became a popular ingredient in the foods and sweets prepared for tea ceremony, and as a result its popularity spread.

It takes about 100kg of kudzu to produce 10kg of 'flour'🥹
#和菓子

Another sweet popular in Kansai during the summer months is a cubed confection called 'kuzuyaki' (葛焼).
Sugar, kudzu powder and bean paste are kneaded into a dough, cut into squares, and steamed. The sweets are finished by grilling each side and sprinkling with flour.

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😯

'Ubatama' (烏羽玉), most famously produced by Kyōto's "Kameya Yoshinaga" (亀屋良長), is also named after the seeds of the hiōgi.
Red bean paste is mixed with dark sugar, rolled into balls and covered with agar jelly😋

Japan is a paradise for those who love gorgeous wrapping paper and unusual packaging. In our teahouses we see a huge number of innovative designs, but some of my favourite appear in the summer time when 'sudare' (簾) is used for decoration.

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.
