Mimosa, Japanese sweet 🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼 This is another design of Mimosa sweet I created last week. I had an image that lots of fluffy tiny yellow pompoms on a soft feathery green branches spreading out with a blue sky as the background. I've kind of overdone the flower parts?! Surely not. * It's Vegan & Gluten free. * * #wagashi #japanesesweets #sweets #instasweets #instadessert #japanesefood #japanesefoodlover #japanesedessert #dessert #food #foodphotos #foodpics #fooddedign #foodart #foodstyling #instafood #foodstagram #mimosa #flowers #edibleflowers #matcha #matchalove #londonfoodie #londoneats #homemade #vegan #vegetarian #glutenfree #和菓子 #花

Shamrock & Four Leaves Clover, Japanese Sweets ☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘ * ☘ Happy St. Patrick's Day!☘ I created two types of sweets for this specisl day. One with a three leaf is supposed to be Shamrock, the symbol of Ireland. The other one with a four leaf is a good luck charm of Clover. * I heard that some people are confused between them and using the wrong image for the day. Some people might get irritated about the mistake but even the wrong one is supposed to be a good luck charm so whatever it is it's for the Happy Day! Cheers!🍺(←supposed to be Stout😉) * These sweets are flavoured and coloured with Matcha green tea. It's Vegan and Gluten free. * * #wagashi #japanesesweets #instasweets #japanesefood #ilovejapanesefood #japanesefoodlover #japanesedessert #dessert #instadessert #foodstagram #foodphotos #foodpics #foodart #fooddesign #foodstyling #londonfoodie #londoneats #matcha #matchaholic #matchalover #matchalove #stpatricksday #stpatricks #shamrock #plants #leaves #vegan #vegetarian #glutenfree #和菓子

Mimosa Wreath, Japanese Sweet *** This sweet was supposed to be for the International Women's Day last week that is also called Mimosa Day. It's because Mimosa flowers are the symbol of the day. I made this sweet but could not post it in time, however, "Being late is better than never" right?😉 * It's Vegan and Gluten free. * * #wagashi #japanesesweets #japanesedessert #japanesefood #ilovejapanesefood #japanesefoodlover #food #foodart #foodphotos #foodpics #kawaiifood #fooddesign #foodstagram #instadessert #dessert #sweets #foodstyling #instasweets #londoneats #londonfoodie #matcha #matchalover #matchalove #flowers #mimosa #vegan #vegetarian #glutenfree #和菓子 #和菓子作り

I've got brand new tools for making Wagashi Japanese sweets and this sweet is the result of my first attempt of using them. * I've seen many professional Wagashi makers are producing beautiful sweets by using the tool and could not wait for trying them out. OK, the result was far from the perfection yet, however, I am quite pleased with the outcome. Now I know that I just need to do a lot of practise. * I just hope you can figure out that this sweet is supposed to be a Chrysanthemum or some kind of flower. I will continue practising and hope I can show you the great result of Chrysanthemum by this autumn.😉 * * #wagashi #chrysanthemum #flowers #edibleflowers #japanesesweets #japanesedessert #japanesefood #ilovejapanesefood #japanesefoodlover #food #foodart #art #foodphotos #foodphotography #foodpics #instafood #instasweets #instadessert #indtayummy #craft #dessert #london #londoneats #londonfood #londonfoodie #vegan #vegetarian #glutenfree #和菓子 #花

Taiyaki with Mochi Balls, Japanese sweets * Yesterday was Pancake Day in the UK. So I started making 'Dorayaki' Japanese Pancake. I was planning to post a beautifully baked Dorayaki pancake here but ... in somehow I faild. Maybe it was because I used one of the brand new frying pans? I will take a revenge on making great looking Dorayaki sometime soon, but in the meantime I introduce the 'Taiyaki' fish shaped bake I made a few days ago. * The filling was 'Tsubu-an' sweet Azuki (Red) bean paste. I also added some 'Shiratama' Mochi balls. * If you'd like to make this Taiyaki at home, I have posted the recipe on my Blog before. Please have a look. ** #wagashi #japanesesweets #japanesedessert #japanesefood #ilovejapanesefood #japanesefoodlover #food #foodpics #foodphotos #instafood #instasweets #instadessert #instayummy #kawaiisweets #taiyaki #mochi #streetfood #pancake #pancakeday #london #londoneats #londonfood #londonfoodie #londonlife #fish #fishcake #vegetarian #和菓子 #ロンドン生活 #たい焼き

White Daffodil, Japanese sweets * Probably white Daffodil is one of my favourite flowers. Looks so clean & pure with the gorgeous scent. * I created this Japanese sweet in a shape of my favourite flower. It's Vegan and Gluten free. * Actually it's Pancake day in the UK today. I might try making some later?! We shall see ....😊 * * #wagashi #daffodil #daffodils #flowers #edibleflower #japanesesweets #japanesefood #japanesedessert #dessert #ilovejapanesefood #japanesefoodlover #instayummy #instasweets #instadessert #foodstagram #foodpics #foodphotos #foodart #fooddesign #londonfood #londonfoodie #londoneats #matcha #kawaiifood #vegan #vegetarian #glutenfree #和菓子 #ロンドン生活 #花

Hichigiri, Japanese sweets 🏵🏵🏵🏵🏵🏵🏵🏵🏵🏵 I was supposed to introduce this sweet yesterday. This is a Mochi type sweet that people particulatly in the Kyoto area eat on Hinamatsuri, the Girl's Day (the 3rd of March). * This sweet was born in the palace in the old days when the palace kitchen was too busy to make many round mochi for their guests. Then they just pulled small pieces of Mochi and left the pulled shape without rolling them up. * Anyway, this was the first time I made the sweets. It looked easy to make the shape but actually it's more difficult and also it took much longer to create the pulled shape than I ever imagined. 😅 * It's Vegan and Glutenfree * #wagashi #japanesesweets #japanesedessert #japanesefood #japan #ilovejapan #japaneseculture #hinamatsuri #japanesefoodlover #ilovejapanesefood #dessert #sweets #food #foodlover #instafood #instasweets #instadessert #instayummy #matcha #foodart #foodpics #foodphotos #londonfoodie #londoneats #vegan #vegetarian #glutenfree #mochi #和菓子 #ロンドン生活

Momo Mochi Matcha Zenzai, Japanese Dessert 🏵🏵🏵🏵🏵🏵🏵🏵🏵 Happy Girl's Day! It's 'Hinamatsuri' today. On this day we pray for health & happiness of girls. Traditionally we decorate special Hina dolls and peach flowers in a room and eat peach fruit/flower shaped sweets on this day. * I made Matcha Zenzai and placed Mochi in Momo peach shape on top. Simple and easy to make. If you'd like to try making it, I share the #recipe on my Blog SakuraJunction.com please have a look. * Vegan & Gluten free * * #wagashi #japanesedessert #dessert #japanesesweets #japanesefood #ilovejapanesefood #foodlover #instasweet #instadessert #instayummy #matcha #matchadessert #matchalover #matchaholic #foodart #foodpics #foodphotos #londonfoodie #londoneats #Flowers #Vegan #Vegetarian #Vegandessert #greentea #hinamatsuri #mochi #抹茶 #ひな祭り #抹茶スイーツ

Early Spring Field with Crocus, Japanese sweets * It was a rainy day here in London today. I hope the warm sunny springy day comes back. In the meantime your eyes can enjoy seeing a little spring with this sweet. 🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼 It's Vegan and Gluten free. * * #wagashi #japanesesweets #japanesefood #japanesefoodlover #foodlover #foodphotos #foodphotography #foodart #foodpics #instasweet #foodartchefs #instayummy #foodstyling #foodstagram #fooddesign #londonfood #londonfoodie #londoneats #flowers #crocus #edibleflowers #vegan #vegetarian #glutenfree #matcha #matchalover #和菓子 #春 #ロンドン生活 #花

White Daffodils, Japanese sweets 🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼 This is another Japanese sweets I created in an early spring flower design. Last year I made yellow Daffodil sweets so this time it's White one. * I use all sorts of ingredients in order to colour and flavour the materials but I think that this simply white 'Nerikiri' sweet with the most traditional sweet Azuki (Red) bean paste is the best combination amongst all.😋 * It's Vegan and Glutenfree * * #wagashi #daffodils #flowers #spring #edibleflowers #japanesefood #ilovejapanesefood #japanesefoodlover #japanesesweets #japanesedessert #japanesefoodporn #foodphotos #foodphotography #foodpics #foodstagram #foodart #fooddesign #londonfood #londoneats #londonfoodie #vegan #vegetarian #glutenfree #matcha #matchalover #matchalove #和菓子 #ロンドン生活 #水仙 #花

Early Spring Field, Japanese Sweets * 🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼 It's so lovely Sunday today. I love walking in a park or field in this gorgeous weather. I also love finding a patch with dotted yellow and purple in the field. They are Crocus. The scene the plants just started flowering makes me feel warm and smile😊. * It's Vegan and Gluten free. * * #wagashi #japanesefood #japanesefoodporn #japanesesweets #japanesedessert #ilovejapanesefood #ilovejapan #sweets #dessert #foodstyling #foodphotography #foodpics #foodart #fooddesign #foodstagram #londonfoodie #londoneats #matcha #matchalove #spring #flowers #crocus #edibleflowers #kawaiifood #vegan #glutenfree #vegetarian #和菓子 #ロンドン #春

Raspberry & Cream (Meringue style), Japanese Sweets * I apologize that I was absent for quite a while. I went back to Japan and spending time with my family and friends. I could not make any new sweets without having my usual tools whilst staying there. * So these are my first sweets in 2019. They are Japanese sweets I created with the image of meringue in my mind. The two meringue-like parts with the gentle marble pattern with white and light pink colour created with Raspberry and not by using any colouring. * The cream sandwiched in between two pieces is sweet white bean paste with creamy flavour. Although it has a creamy texture and flavour it still has a nice hint of sweet bean paste after taste. * It's not the usual vegan sweet but for a special occasion like today. I think it is great to have a little fun with a bit of dairy for tonight. * 🌹Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!🌹 * * #wagashi #japanesefood #japanesedessert #japanesesweets #ilovejapanesefood #ilovejapan #food #foodie #foodphoto #foodart #foodpics #fooddesign #foodstagram #kawaiifood #dessert #londonfood #londonfoodie #londoneats #raspberry #meringue #valentine #valentines #valentinesday #sweets #glutenfree #vegetarian #eggfree #和菓子 #ロンドン生活 #バレンタイン

Cosmos, Japanese Sweets * I apologize that this is another much delayed post. This Cosmos is one of the Wahadhi sweets I created for Tea & Sweet Tasting event @mycupoftea_london before the end of 2018. * It's 'Nerikiri' type sweet with Azuki (Red) Bean Paste as the centre filling. * It's Vegan and Gluten free.
