What is Wagashi?
Wagashi are traditional Japanese confections deeply connected to the seasons. Beyond their delicious taste, wagashi are known for their visual beauty, which reflects the essence of each season, making them popular worldwide. The primary ingredients in wagashi are plant-based, such as rice, wheat, and beans. Although generally low in calories, wagashi tends to be high in sugar and starch, leading to a higher carbohydrate content.
Wagashi Class at "Fufumi-an" by Artisans from Baika-tei
A Wagashi (Traditional Japanese Sweets) Class with Matcha, Led by Artisans from Baika-tei, a Long-Established Confectionery Founded in 1935. Kagurazaka's esteemed Baika-tei, known for its commitment to natural, additive-free ingredients, crafts seasonal wagashi with heartfelt care. Particularly notable is Baika-tei's signature Anko, meticulously prepared in 23 different varieties, each tailored to complement the specific outer layer of the wagashi.
Introduction to the Wagashi Artisan (Head of the "Fufumi-an")
Takeshi Inoue, the fourth-generation representative of Baikatei, is recognized as both a Tokyo Meister and an Excellent Wagashi Artisan. A Tokyo Meister is an individual working in Tokyo who possesses exceptionally high skills and serves as a model for other artisans. They are awarded the Tokyo Governor's Prize as an acknowledgment of their mastery.

Nerikiri (Wagashi Terminology)
"Nerikiri" is formally known as "Nerikiri-an," but it is commonly referred to simply as "Nerikiri." It kneads Shiro-an (white bean paste) with sugar and binders like yam. The nerikiri-an (white bean paste) serves as the main ingredient. Nerikiri is often crafted into shapes representing the seasons or special events and is frequently used as a premium Jo-Namagashi for celebratory occasions or tea ceremonies.
