EXPLORE Explore the tradition of Wagashi
As a craftsman is required to make a wide variety of Wagashi, such as those to be sold year round, special seasonal Wagashi, those related to Japanese customs or occasions, and also a basic “An-sweeten bean paste”, more than ten years of training is necessary to become an all-around craftsman.
