Dear Wagashi Lovers,

The clock has just turned back to Winter time here in the UK and we are officially in Autumn now. When we talk about Autumn in Japan, the thing we cannot forget is ‘Momiji’ Japanese maple. Also as a part of British culture Guy Fawkes night, the 5th of November, is something significant for next month.

Later on people celebrated the attempt of Guy Fawkes and started making bonfires in a square and also putting up fireworks and fire crackers in the evening on Guy Fawkes Night.

However, I made this Fireworks sweet for British people and this is one of my monthly sweets for November.
