I absolutely adore Wagashi ( Japanese traditional desserts/confectionary ), so what better book can there be than one showcasing the very best of these exquisite treats, and all marvelously photographed ?

This book introduces the beauty of Wagashi, categorizing each type by month and by season, offering insights into the seasonal aspect of each creation. Readers will learn how each confection’s concept and deep meaning are closely tied to the ephemeral tastes and sights that characterize the four seasons of Japan, which have been appreciated and enjoyed by Japanese people for generations.

If this stunning book doesn’t make you crave for some delicious Wagashi, I dunno what will. I’ve only ever tasted a few mentioned in the book during my time in Japan ( check out this post ), but I’m not going to stop till I’ve eaten all of them !

This book by PIE is written in both English and Japanese, serving as a most handy reference if you are on the search for these beautiful delicacies. My highest recommendations.
