Sakura wagashi is a Japanese dessert made of bean paste and glutinous rice, coloured and shaped like cherry blossom flowers to celebrate the beginning of spring.

Hello everyone,
Spring will soon be here for my friends in the northern hemisphere.
And I am certainly looking forward to a cooler autumn days.

While waiting for summer to be over and when I can switch on my oven again, I made this Japanese sweet known as wagashi.

If you recall in my previous post, Shiro-an (White bean paste), I uploaded a photo, at the end of the post, of wagashis I made for her birthday (instead of birthday cake)
She wanted to learn, so during her year end break, we made a video together. It was fun.

My wagashi aren't perfect, I need to practise more to make them pretty to look at.
You can watch Sakura wagashi video on my youtube channel!

Take care,

Lisa
