Strawberry & Cream, Japanese Sweet 🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓 This is a sweet I created for this season before. You might be wondering Which season? I live in the UK and now beginning of July ...🤔? So it' of course the Wimbledon Tennis tournament! * 🍓 Do you know what the famouse food in the Wimbledon is? It's 'Strawberries & Cream' which is actually just fresh Strawberries with cream in a bowl. I just wanted to make the famous dessert as Japanese sweet. I created the bowl as well as tiny strawberries so everything is edible! Can you believe that this very Western sounding dessert is a Japanese sweet? * * #wagashi #strawberriesandcream #strawberries #wimbledon #japanesedessert #dessert #instadessert #japanesefood #ilovejapanesefood #japanesefoodlover #japanesesweets #sweets #instasweets #kawaiifood #eatpretty #londonfood #londoneats #food #foodart #fooddesign #foodstyling #foodphotos #foodphotography #londonjapanesefood #vegetarian #glutenfree #和菓子 #和菓子作り#いちご #ロンドン生活

Galaxy, Japanese sweet ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's the 'Tanabata' Star festival today and everybody hopes to see the clear sky so that we can make a wish to stars. I'm pleased that it became very sunny in London. ⭐ I wondered what sort of sweet was suitable for this special occasion and created this dome shaped one. The lower part is supposed to be the Earth wich is made with Azuki (Red) Bean paste and the top clear part is as the Galaxy/Universe with a star and colourful planets (Mochi) inside. You eat it chilled. It's a very summery sweet. ⭐ It's Vegan and Gluten free. ⭐ ⭐ #wagashi #galaxy #japanesesweets #sweets #instasweets #japanesefood #ilovejapanesefood #japanesefoodlover #japanesedessert #dessert #instadessert #londonfoodie #londoneats #londonjapanesefood #foodstyling #foodphotos #foodphotography #foodart #fooddesign #kawaiifood #eatpretty #vegan #veganjapanese #vegetarian #glutenfree #mochi #和菓子 #和菓子作り #七夕 #ロンドン生活

Galaxy Mizu Yokan, Japanese sweet * 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Tomorrow, the 7th of July, is a special day called 'Tanabata' in Japan. It's not a national holiday but it is the day that everyone hopes for good weather and looks up at the sky in the evening. It is a Star festival. 🌟 It's based on an old story regarding a loving couple who were forced to live separately on each side of a river. Because they became so sad the God gave them permission that they were allowed to cross the river only once a year on the 7th of July if the weather is good. 🌟 This is an ancient story which was supposed to be happening in the sky. The lovers are actually two stars and the river is Milky way. (I wrote this story in more detail in my blog in the past. I newly created a link to the page so if you are interested please visit my blog from my profile.) 🌟 So, I created this sweet which is composed of two parts. The bottom part is made with sweet Azuki (Red) bean paste that is meant to be the Earth. The top part is jelly-like clear dome meat to be the Galaxy with star and planets made of Mochi. I also added some gold and silver glitter so when the sweet gets light it sparkles. 🌟 It's Vegan & Gluten free 🌟 🌟 #wagashi #tanabata #stars #japanesesweets #sweets #instasweets #japanesedessert #dessert #instadessert #japanesefood #ilovejapapesefood #japanesefoodlover #londonfood #londonjapanesefood #foodphotography #foodart #fooddesign #foodphotos #lovefood #instafood #kawaiifood #vegan #veganjapanese #Vegetarian #mochi #eatpretty #和菓子 #和菓子作り #ロンドン生活 #七夕

White Sakura, Japanese Sweet * * 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 I had a little bit of white Nerikiri sweet and I wanted to make something with it. It's sunny and hot in London today so what I wanted to create was a cooling looking sweet and then this sweet was the outcome! * It's a double white sweet with the white outer layer and the white sweet bean paste fiilling inside. It looked a little too boring so I decorated it with some gold & silver glitter as well as Sakura pattern on top. I wonder it looks cooling enough for you? * It's Vegan & Gluten free. #wagashi #sakura #japanesesweets #sweet #instasweet #sweetstagram #japanesefood #ilovejapapesefood #japanesefoodlover #japanesedessert #dessert #instadessert #foodstagram #foodart #fooddesign #foodstyling #foodphotos #foodphotography #white #eatpretty #londonfood #londoneats #londonjapanesefood #lovefood #vegan #veganjapanese #vegandessert #和菓子 #和菓子作り #ロンドン生活

Goldfish, Japanese sweet * * 🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠 Here is my question. What season is Goldfish for you? (Does it make sense?🤔) Because many things (fruit/vegetable/food/insect etc) are associated with a season in Japan and Goldfish is definitely very summer thing for Japanese. * Maybe its red and orange colours remind us the sun/heat? We have a game of scooping goldfish with a paper spoon in a summer festival and in the old days a man walked around towns by selling goldfish in summer time. * Whatever the reason is, these are my Goldfish Japanese sweet. If you feel like you are looking down a fish bowl from the top by seeing the sweet my attempt is a success! 👍 * It's Vegan and Gluten free! #wagashi #goldfish #japanesefood #ilovejapanesefood #japanesefoodlover #japanesesweets #sweets #instasweet #japanesedessert #dessert #instadessert #londonfood #londoneats #vegan #veganjapanese #londonjapanesefood #lovefood #kawaiifood #food #foodstyling #foodart #foodphotos #foodphotography #eatpretty #vegansweet #vegandessert #matchalover #和菓子 #和菓子作り #ロンドン生活

Sunflower, Japanese sweet 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻 * It's HOT🌞 in London! Summer has arrived! It means it's time for Sunflower! 🌻 Maybe because it's not that humid I feel the sunlight to the skin rather strong here. * The Queen of the summer flowers must be Sunflower. So I created this Japanese sweet. 🌻 It's Vegan and Gluten free. 🌻 Have a wonderful weekend! #wagashi #sunflower #flowers #edibleflowers #japanesesweets #sweets #japanesedessert #dessert #instadessert #japanesefood #ilovejapanesefood #japanesefoodlover #londonfood #matchalover #londoneats #vegan #veganjapanese #vegandessert #vegansweets #londonjapanesefood #foodart #fooddesign #foodphotography #foodstyling #lovefood #instasweet #kawaiifood #和菓子 #和菓子作り #ロンドン生活

Clematis, Japanese Sweet Clematis is one of my favourite flowers. Last year I made a Mochi type Clematis sweet so I wanted to use a different type of the flower. * I also didn't want to use any food colouring and then I used Ube, purple sweet potato/yam to colour & flavour the sweet this time. I like any bluey purple flowers so that helped too. * What I wanted to concentrate on making this sweet was recreating the hair-like fluffy-ness of the central part of the real flower. I hope it came out well. * It's Vegan and gluten free. * * #wagashi #clematis #flowers #edibleflowers #japanesesweets #sweets #sweetstagram #japanesedessert #dessert #Japanesefood #ilovejapanesefood #japanesefoodlover #londonfood #londoneats #londonjapanesefood #vegan #veganjapanese #vegandessert #vegansweets #foodart #fooddesign #foodstyling #lovefood #foodpics #foodphotos #instasweet #和菓子 #和菓子作り #ロンドン生活 #花

Roses, Japanese Sweets 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 * We have sunny days and a bit of rain. It's great that gardens are becoming very lively! All the plants are growing so fast that I cannot catch up the speed of the nature with my gardening skill! * There are several ways in creating rose sweets but I tried this type this time because I'm thinking to create this rose in a Wagashi Making Workshop. Anybody wants to try making your rose? * This sweet is vegan and gluten free. * * #wagashi #rose #flowers #roselover #eatpretty #edibleflowers #japanesesweets #sweets #instasweets #lovefood #lovesweets #Japanesefood #japanesefoodlover #ilovejapanesefood #japanesedessert #dessert #londonfood #londoneats #londonfoodie #food #foodart #sweetart #foodphotos #fooddesign #vegan #japanesevegan #matcha #和菓子 #和菓子作り #ロンドン生活

Wisteria, Japanese Sweet This is the 3rd version of my Wisteria sweet this year. After I made the first two sweets some idea came up to my mind so I wanted to create another Wisteria sweet one more time. * Basically I thought that the number of flowers on the previous sweets were not many enough to call it as Purple Shower. I wanted to create more flowers but these five were the maximum so far. You think this version is better? * * #wagashi #wisteria #flowers #japanesesweets #sweets #sweetstagram #japanesedessert #dessert #Japanesefood #ilovejapanesefood #japanesefoodlover #food #instafood #Foodphotos #foodphotography #foodart #fooddesign #foodpics #londonfood #londoneats #vegan #veganjapanese #japanesevegan #glutenfree #lovefood #matcha #matchalover #和菓子 #和菓子作り #ロンドン生活

Happy Wagashi Day 2019!! Today, the 16th of June is the Wagashi Day. By following the custom of making sixteen sweets as the offering to the God since the Heian period I re-introduce sixteen sweets among all the Wagashi sweets I have created in the previous year here. * Hope our world is going to reshift towards a better direction! * * #wagashi #japanesesweets #sweets #instasweets #sweetstagram #japanesefood #ilovejapanesefood #japanesefoodlover #japanesedessert #dessert #dessertstagram #lovefood #lovesweet #londonfood #londonfoodie #londoneats #kawaiifood #vegan #japanesevegan #veganjaoanese #glutenfree #foodart #fooddesign #foodstyling #foodphotos #foodphotography #foodpics #japan #和菓子 #和菓子作り

Lilac, Japanese Sweet I know it's far too late for the season but this is the Lilac flower sweet I created a little while ago. It is one of the early spring flowers that provides us a brilliant colour and gorgeous scent. * Originally I wanted to make a much simpler design with a few small flowers, however, the plant gets lots of clumps of flower and it was unavoidable not to create a design like the one in this photo. * It is vegan and gluten free. #wagashi #lilac #flowers #edibleflowers #japaneaesweets #sweets #sweetstagram #japanesefood #ilovejapanesefood #japanesefoodlover #japanesedessert #dessert #dessertstagram #londonfood #londonfoodie #londoneats #Vegetarian #vegan #vegandessert #veganjapanese #japanesevegan #glutenfree #foodart #fooddesign #foodstyling #foodpics #foodphotos #和菓子 #和菓子作り #ロンドン生活

Dorayaki with Strawberry & Cream, Japanese sweet 🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓 * This 'Dorayaki' pancake is actually a sub-product from the food market that I had a stall last Sunday. I just combined three separate ingredients which were left over from the market and had it for my today's tea. Yes, I know it was quite big but I have to say it was a great combination and I needed it after the hard work!😉 * Since finishing the market I received several messages from the people who bought my sweets saying that they enjoyed the sweets very much. Although setting up a food market is quite tiring, hearing such warm words makes me feel very satisfied. I really appreciate your coming to my stall and would like to say thank you for your support! #wagashi #dorayaki #pancake #japanesefood #ilovejapanesefood #japanesefoodlover #japanesesweet #sweet #sweetstagram #instasweet #japanesedessert #japanesepancake #dessert #instadessert #londonfood #londonfoodie #londoneats #londonlife #food #foodphoto #foodpics #foodphotography #foodstagram #instafood #instayummy #lovefood #和菓子 #和菓子作り #ロンドン生活 #どらやき

A Big thanks to everyone who came to my Mochi Stall yesterday. lt finished rather successfully and I hope you liked my sweets. * For the last few years I heard that so many people saying "I looove Mochi!" but I was wondering "How much do they really love Mochi?". Well, I have met many Mochi Lovers yesterday so it is true that people "Looove" Mochi! * I also met many people who are interested in all sorts of Japanese culture. I am particularly impressed with a very young girl about 4 years old who can write some Japanese 'Hiragana' characters. Amazing! * I decided about this market quite suddenly and it was very tiring to prepare huge quantity of sweet in such a short period of time, but I enjoyed chatting with lovely people and it was a wonderful day for me. Cheers! 😊💕 * #wagashi #mochi #japanesefood #ilovejapanesefood #japanesefoodlover #japanesesweets #sweets #sweetstagram #japanesedessert #dessert #instasweet #crouchend #crouchendfestival #london #londonfood #londonfoodie #londoneats #londonevents #londonlife #foodpics #vegan #veganjapanese #japanesevegan #vegetarian #japanesevegetarian #glutenfree #matchalover #mochilovers #和菓子 #ロンドン生活

'Mochi Heaven' Stall will be in North London! * * Hello Mochi Lovers! I have great news for you. We're going to have a Mochi stall in a Food Market Tomorrow. Although I am making as many Mochi as possible, the number is limited so please come early to avoid disappointment. * At: Stationers Park (Mayfield Rd, London N8 9LP) On: the 9th June (Sunday), 11:30am - * See you there then! #wagashi #mochi #japanesesweets #sweets #japanesedessert #dessert #japanesefood #ilovejapanesefood #japanesefoodlover #food #foodstagram #instasweet #london #londoneats #londonlife #londonevents #lovefood #japanesevegan #vegan #veganjapanese #foodmarket #foodfestival #londonfoodie #londonfood #crouchend #muswellhill #kawaiifood #crouchendfestival #和菓子 #ロンドン生活
