Wagashi & matcha

Traditional sweets, often served with green tea.

和菓子・抹茶

Wagashi are traditional Japanese sweets made mostly from rice flour and sweet bean paste. Many change with the seasons, like cherry-blossom shapes in spring.

They are often served with matcha, a whisked green tea that balances the sweetness.

Good to know

  • Many sweets keep only a day or two, so check before buying gifts to take home.
