Chocolate Heart Mochi, Japanese sweet (Vegan & Gluten free)* * 💕Happy Valentine's Day! 💕 This is my sweet for this year's Valentine's Day. It's a heart-shaped Japanese sweet with chocolate flavoured Mochi outer layer and sweet white bean paste and homemade red currant jam inside. For this special occasion it has the golden 💕Love potion💕 powder sprinkled on top. The great thing is you can taste this sweet @the_havan_store during February. Maybe Love is like a Chocolate Mochi! Have a wonderful Valentine's Day!!💕 * * * #wagashi #mochi #mochilovers #japanesesweets #sweets #japanesedessert #dessert #japanese #japanesefood #ilovejapanesefood #japanesefoodlover #londonjapanesefood #japanesefoodlondon #londonfood #londonfoodie #londonlife #londoneats #sweetart #sweetmagazine #foodart #foodphoto #foodpics #instasweets #vegan #veganjapanese #glutenfree #valentinesday #和菓子 #和菓子作り #ロンドン生活

Snow Rabbit, Japanese sweet (Vegan & Gluten free) 🐰 Although it's been cold, it hasn't snowed here in London yet. So I cannot make a real snow rabbit but I made a Snow Rabbit Japanese sweet.😊 🐰 #wagashi #japanesesweets #sweets #instasweets #rabbit #snowrabbit #sweetmagazine #japanesefood #ilovejapapesefood #japanesefoodlover #londonjapanesefood #japanesefoodlondon #japanesedessert #kawaiifood #sweetart #foodart #fooddesign #foodphoto #foodpics #foodphotography #vegan #veganjapanese #glutenfree #londonfoodie #londonlife #londoneats #和菓子 #和菓子作り #雪うさぎ #ロンドン生活

Red Berries with Snow, Japanese sweet (Vegan & Gluten free) Although it hans't snowed in London (so far), it feels very cold under the thick layer of grey cloud in the sky. I made this Matcha flavoured Japanese sweet by having an image that red berries of Nandina domestica slightly coveted with fallen snow. Dark green leaves under white snow shows the strength of the plant and also the sign that spring is coming soon. #wagashi #japanesesweets #sweets #instasweets #sweetmagazine #sweetart #foodart #fooddesign #foodphoto #foodphotography #foodpics #japanesefood #ilovejapanesefood #japanesefoodlover #londonjapanesefood #japanesefoodlondon #londonfoodie #londoneats #londonlife #vegan #veganjapanese #matcha #matchalover #glutenfree #snow #dessert #japanesedessert #和菓子 #和菓子作り #ロンドン生活

'Ume' Plum Blossom, Japanese Sweet (Vegan & Gluten free) Japanese 'Ume' Plum quite often opens two different colours of blossom on one tree. They are tiny flowers which have an intoxicating scent too. It must be the best plant in January. This sweet in the photo is one of the design examples for my Wagashi Making Workshop which ended well last sunday. All the attendees made fantastically creative sweets. I am going to write a report about the event soon so you can see what brilliant ideas the participants came up with. 😊 #wagashi #japanesesweets #sweets #instasweets #japanesefood #ilovejapanesefood #japanesefoodlover #londonjapanesefood #japanesefoodlondon #londonfoodie #londoneats #londonworkshop #foodart #sweetart #fooddesign #edibleflower #vegan #veganjapanese #glutenfree #vegetarian #thingstodoinlondon #matchalover #sweetmagazine #foodpics #foodphoto #dessert #和菓子 #和菓子作り #ロンドン生活 #梅

Fortune Mochies, Japanese sweet (Vegan & Gluten free) * * - Mochi gives you Happiness! - For cerebrationg Chinese New Year I made Fortune Mochies! It is in a shape of fortune cookie but the outer layer is made of Mochi sweet with a hint of cinnamon flavour.

Plum Flower Mochi, Japanese sweet (Vegan & Gluten free) Have you seen 'Ume' plum blossom? It is a tiny pretty flower that opens on a still bare branch during wintertime. The flower comes between white to dark pink which brightens up a wintery garden and a scenery. I created this Mochi type sweet which has got the soft & gooey outer layer with sweet white bean paste and a little surprise as a centre filling. This is one of the monthly sweets @the_havan_store for January. It is a pleasure to hear that it's so popular.😊 * * #wagashi #japanesesweets #mochi #mochilovers #sweets #japanesefood #japanesefoodlover #ilovejapanesefood #japanesefoodlondon #londonjapanesefood #japanesedessert #dessert #sweetart #foodart #fooddesign #vegan #veganjapanese #glutenfree #sweetmagazine #londonfood #londonfoodie #londoneats #londonlife #edibleflower #kawaiifood #foodpics #instasweets #和菓子 #和菓子作り#ロンドン生活

'Temari' Ball, Japanese sweet (Vegan & Gluten free)* * 'Temari' is a Traditional Japanese handcrafted ball made with cloth and embroidery. In order to created the look of the beautiful balls I used three coloured 'Nerikiri' sweet and a tiny golden decoration on top. It's got 'Koshian' Azuki red bean paste filling inside and you can enjoy the flavour combination of bean paste with either Ube purple sweet potato (purple part) or Matcha green tea (green part). * I am going to have a Wagashi Workshop in London on the 26th of January. If you are interested to join us, please visito the detail page from the link on my profile/bio.

The time has come for the new Wagashi Making Workshop! I believe you are fully recharged for this new challenge. The theme of the sweets in January is early spring and we are going to make a Snow Rabbit and 'Ume' Plum flower in two ways. These are the Japanese sweets often served at the tea ceremony which has got soft & flexible texture that can be made into decorative seasonal sweets. Although it might look like marzipan, it is completely different and the sweets are Vegan and Gluten free. For getting tickets, please go to the eventbrite page from the link on my profile/bio. Look forward to meeting new people on the 26th/January.

Wagashi Workshop in December Big apologies about the delay! I finally managed to write the report on the Christmas themed Wagashi Making Workshop. It was already about a month ago that the people gathered on one Sunday afternoon in the cosy basement of @the_havan_store . I always enjoy seeing that the participants get creative and make the sweets in their own ways so I normally keep my example sweets quite simple. After deciding three designs for this workshop I was a little worried that there might not be enough room to show their creativity, however, I was wrong. Every attendees utilised all the materials cleverly and created somthing so remarkable! A woollen hat, top hat, patterned scarves and ear covers for a snowman! Who'd have thought them? Fantastic! If you are interested to read the rest of my report, please visit my blog (sakurajunction.com). Many thanks. The next Wagadhi Workshop will be on the 26th January. The designs will be revealed shortly please keep checking my notification. Cheers! #wagashi #japanesesweets #sweets #sweetstagram #japanesefood #ilovejapanesefood #japanesefoodlondon #londonjapanesefood #japanesedessert #kawaiifood #workshop #londonworkshop #thingstodoinlondon #timeoutlondon #foodart #sweetart #fooddesign #fooddesign #londonfoodie #londonlife #londonevents #londoneats #vegan #veganjapanese #veganjapanesefood #glutenfree #matchalover #和菓子 #和菓子作り #ロンドン生活

Christmas Wreath, Japanese sweet (Vegan & Gluten free) ❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄* * Have a wonderful 🎄Christmas Eve!!🎄* * * * #wagashi #japanesesweets #sweets #sweetstagram #christmaswreath #japanesefood #ilovejapapesefood #japanesefoodlover #japanesefoodlondon #londonjapanesefood #londonlife #londonfoodie #londoneats #foodart #fooddesign #beautifulfood #sweetart #sweetmagazine #foodpics #matchalover #handmadesweets #vegan #veganjapanese #vegandessert #veganjapanesefood #glutenfree #hautescuisines_global #和菓子 #和菓子作り #ロンドン生活

Poinsettia, Japanese sweet (Vegan & Gluten free) Just two days until Christmas day. The most significant plant/flower that associates with this festive season is poinsettia. In its native country, which is in warm area, the plant grows huge like a tree but here in the UK we only see it at the end of a year in a small pot. I made Poinsettia sweet last year too but I have changed the design a little this time by using a different technique with a tool. I also added some Christmassy flavour to the centre filling and I am pleased to see that it goes well with the theme as I planned. Limited number of this Poinsettia sweet is available @the_havan_store . If you haven't finished your Christmas shopping yet, it will be the shop you should go tomorrow.😊 * * * * #wagashi #japanesesweets #sweets #instasweets #poinsettia #edibleflower #japanesefood #ilovejapanesefood #japanesefoodlover #londonjapanesefood #japanesefoodlondon #foodphoto #foodpics #foodart #sweetart #foodphotography #japanesedessert #dessert #matchalover #handmadesweets #sweetmagazine #londonfoodie #vegan #veganjapanese #veganjapanesefood #glutenfree #londoneats #和菓子 #和菓子作り #ロンドン生活
