About Me
- obachan
- Muroto, Kochi, Japan
- "OBACHAN" means a "middle-aged woman" or "aunty" in Japanese. .*************************. Having moved back to my hometown in April 2009, I live in one of the desperately underpopulated areas in Japan now. Let me share my life in a real countryside with aging parents living in the same house. And here in Muroto -- the place where I chose to live -- you can hear the heartbeat of the Earth! ;)

Such adorable wagashi!!
Oh, thanks for finding this post.
Yeah, I had to have a heart of ice to bite his head off. :P
I love this wagashi! Sugoi! I want to learn how to make wagashi. I hear it takes 10 years to be very good at it. Right now I can only get it at Minamoto Kitchoan in London.
Hi shigatsuhana,
Thanks for visiting my site.
Yeah, seems like it takes a lot of work to be a wagashi expert. So there's Minamoto Kitchoan in London?! Wow! I wonder if they sell the same wagashi they do here, or if they have any "UK specials." ;)
I like this wagashi very much! I think I'd like to make a stuffed toy version and take it to bed :)
That would be nice. Hope the toy version would give you a dream as sweet as this wagashi ;)
The one in London never seems to have anything special. I think NY shop has lots of special ones. I took some photos there in December of the shop. I bought suzunone and another kind with maccha powder on the outside and cream in the middle. It was delicious! Here are photos I took:

Hi agan,
Thanks for sharing the pic. of kicchoan's wagashi. I don't remember seeing that one at their branch in this town -- looks like they have real staples only.
Anyway, I hope you keep enjoying wagashi over there.
;)
What is the wild boar made of?
I think it was nerikiri dough. And azuki koshi-an (sweetened red bean paste) was stuffed inside.
