A Different Kind of Sweet: Wagashi


I tried Wagashi, a Japanese sweet, sold at this beautiful store called The Manamoto Kitchoan (Kitchen) on Fifth Avenue in Midtown. While it looks like a cookie in this picture, it's more of a liquidy sponge. It's actually a peach flavored bean paste wrapped with soft rice cake. Very tasty! There are all kinds of images of their candy if you "Google" Manamoto Kitchoan. Every item is like a painting.
