'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.

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.

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

Mochi sweets in various flavour, Japanese sweet (Gluten free & mostly Vegan). "How Mochi do you like Mochi?" If you are a Mochi lover, come to North London this afternoon. There is a Japanese Christmas Market and I am going to have a stall there. I've prepared lots of Mochi and other Japanese sweets & dessert. As well as a good selection of Japanese food you can find many crafts or arts of Japanese culture that will be great for a Christmas present. *The details of the market are on the 3rd photo. The weather seems to be good!👍 so hope to see many visitors! It's open HALF DAY ONLY. Don't miss it! #wagashi #japanesesweets #sweets #handmadesweets #mochi #mochilovers #sweetmagazine #Japanesefood #ilovejapapesefood #japanesefoodlover #japanesefoodlondon #londonjapanesefood #japanesedessert #dessert #vegan #vegandessert #veganjapanese #veganjapanesefood #glutenfree #christmasmarket #thingstodoinlondon #watsonlondon #timeoutlondon #londonevents #londonfoodie #londoneats #londonlife #和菓子 #和菓子作り #ロンドン生活

Rabbit & Satsuma, Japanese sweets (Vegan & Gluten free) These are just two of the Japanese sweets I sold in the Christmas market two weeks ago. If you have never tried any Japanese sweet before you might think it looks like marzipan. However, it is completely different from it in ingredients and the taste as well. It is plant based sweet so Vegan and Gluten free. I am now preparing for the next Japanese Market which will be on this Sunday the 15th. The venue is in North London but the visitors come from South or even outer London in the recent years. I just hope it won't snow on the day! *The details of the Japanese Christmas Market is on the 2nd photo. See you there, everybody! * * #wagashi #japanesesweets #sweets #sweetart #handmadesweets #japanesedessert #dessert #illusionfood #japanesefood #ilovejapanesefood #japanesefoodlover #japanesefoodlondon #londonjapanesefood #fooddesign #foodart #sweetmagazine #londonlife #londonfoodie #londoneats #londonevents #thingstodoinlondon #whatsonlondon #vegan #veganjapanese #kawaiifood #christmasmarket #timeoutlondon #和菓子 #和菓子作り #ロンドン生活

Tri-coloured Ohagi, Japanese sweet (Vegan, Gluten free) These are Ohagi, a kind of Mochi type Japanese sweet. It's a traditional sweet with Mochi & sweet bean paste which we have as a snack in Japan. They all have Adzuki Tsubu-an paste but yellowy one is dusted with Kinako (roasted soybean powder) and green one with mixture of Kinako and Matcha powder. * I created the recipe of this sweet for a special purpose. It is going to be on a Mochi Cookery book written by @kaoriskitchen that will be published in the next year. Kaori is a talented entrepreneur who is also a Mochi & Ramen cooking specialist in the USA. I really look forward to seeing the published book! 😊 🎄 Anyway, I am going to have a stall in a Japanese Christmas Market on Sunday the 15th/Dec. At the moment I'm in the middle of selecting the sweets that I will sell there. I am wondering whether these Ohagi should be included? Would you like to try one?😋 🎄 *The details of the Japanese Market is on the 2nd photo. It'll be HALF DAY ONLY! Hope many people will turn up!

Since I had my first stall there back in 2012 this market has grown bigger every year! Now it's a very popular annual event that people are really looking forward to.
