Wagashi
Wagashi is a traditional Japanese confectionery which is often served with tea, especially the types made of mochi, azuki bean paste, and fruits.
Wagashi is typically made from natural based (mainly plant) ingredients. The names used for wagashi commonly fit a formula — a natural beauty and a word from ancient literature.Types of Wagashi
Anmitsu is a Japanese dessert that has been popular for many decades. It is made of small cubes of agar jelly, a white translucent jelly made from red algae or seaweed. The agar is dissolved with water (or fruit juice such as apple juice) to make the jelly. It is served in a bowl with sweet azuki bean paste or anko (the an part of anmitsu), boiled peas, often gyūhi and a variety of fruits such as peach slices, mikan, pieces of pineapples, and cherries. The anmitsu usually comes with a small pot of sweet black syrup, or mitsu (the mitsu part of anmitsu) which one pours onto the jelly before eating. Anmitsu is usually eaten with a spoon and fork.
A few variations on this dessert do exist. Mitsumame is anmitsu without bean paste, the mamie meaning the peas that are served with the syrup and anko instead. Cream anmitsu is anmitsu with ice cream on top. Shiratama dango are also commonly used as toppings.Amanatt� is a Japanese traditional confectionery which is made of azuki beans or other beans, covered with refined sugar after simmered with sugar syrup and dried. In Hokkaid�, amanatt� is used for cooking the sekihan. For this reason, unlike other areas, the sekihan of Hokkaid� is a little sweet.
It was developed by Hosoda Yasubei during BunkyÅ« years (1861 – 1863) in the Edo period. He established a wagashi store which was named from his childhood name, Eitaro. That store continues in Tokyo yet. Originally amanattÅ� was called amananattÅ�, the name was abbreviated to amanattÅ� after World War II. The resemblance of the name to the name of the fermented bean dish nattÅ� is only coincidental.
Botamochi are a springtime treat made with sweet rice and sweet azuki (red bean) paste. They are made by soaking sweet rice for approximately six hours. The rice is then cooked, and a thick azuki paste is hand-packed around pre-formed balls of rice.Daifukumochi or Daifuku in short, literally “great luck”, is a Japanese confection consisting of a small round mochi (glutinous rice cake) stuffed with sweet filling, most commonly anko, sweetened red bean paste made from azuki beans. Daifuku comes in many varieties. The most common is white, pale green or pale pink colored mochi (rice cake) filled with anko (sweet red bean paste). These come in two common sizes, one about as large in diameter as a half-dollar coin, the other large enough to fill the palm of a hand. Some versions contain whole pieces of fruit, mixtures of fruit and anko or crushed melon paste. Nearly all Daifuku are covered in a fine layer of corn or taro starch to keep them from sticking to each other, or to the fingers. Some are covered with confectioner’s sugar or cocoa.
