Wagashi to make the 'rainy season' more enjoyable

As the rain continues every year, many feel down during the rainy season.

'Can we deliver a moment where hearts relax through wagashi?'

From this thought, Okamedo's artisans have carefully crafted the limited-edition wagashi 'Pyon Kerota' and 'Hydrangea.' Beyond their cute appearance, they pay close attention to materials, color, and texture, expressing the very experience of tasting the beginning of summer.

● Product Description

'Pyon Kerota'

A charming frog-shaped wagashi, consisting of smooth bean paste wrapped in a gentle yellow-green nerikiri dough, with a white belly and slight red cheeks.

The chubby form embodies the wish for customers to 'hop over' the rainy season.

'Hydrangea'

Refreshing homemade lemon paste wrapped in agar with a light gradation. The petals, expressed with yokan (bean jelly), evoke the image of hydrangeas wet with raindrops.

The clear, transparent appearance and the refreshing lemon paste provide a cool lingering sensation during the humid season.

Wagashi possesses the 'power to enjoy the season'

At Okamedo, wagashi is not just a 'sweet treat,' but a culture that reflects the Japanese four seasons and emotions. Feeling the transition, eating seasonal scenery, and sharing flavors unique to that time with loved ones—these experiences are the true appeal of wagashi.

Especially during the rainy season, when there is more unsettling news, Okamedo aims to provide small moments of comfort and peace through these sweets.
