Open post Camellia Tea Ceremony @camelliakyoto@mastodon.social · 3mo ago Replying to @camelliakyoto@mastodon.social 🍉🥒FRUIT AND VEG🍒🍑 There is something quite adorable about traditional sweets that mimic (or incorporate) seasonal fruit and vegetables. For a few short weeks in May each year Toraya (とらや) produce a plump little sweet called 'nasubi-mochi' (なすび餅 'eggplant mochi')🍆 #Kyoto #wagashi Inside the cheerful little eggplant is white bean paste mixed with black sesame seeds, mimicking the flesh of the fruit😋 #なすび餅 #eggplant #Toraya #とらや #Kyoto #京都 #wagashi #和菓子 #Japan
