平成25年版　和菓子になったテキスタイルデザイン


		"Hanazono (Flower Garden)" A garden is full of yellow and orange flowers. Red and pink ones too. Wherever you walk there are flowers. They are shining in many colors. Such a fulfilling spring day. I wonder why flowers are this beautiful. (Katsuji Wakisaka, the textile designer)

The textile inspiration for the march wagashi is called "Flower Garden".
What is being evoked here is the expression of flowers in bloom.
For this month the the wagashi was created by the up and coming confectioner, Satomi Fujita.
You can see her delicate technique from her training as a pastry chef.

桜味の飴細工の下には上用饅頭が隠れています。中の餡は二重構造になっていて、桜の塩漬けを混ぜ込んだ白餡で粒餡を包んでいます。
桜の味を存分に満喫できる、この時期ならではの和菓子です。
