"Bright" authentic Japanese sweets made by Japanese sweets creators

Masari grass
Masari grass is the ancient name of chrysanthemum. There is a waka poem written in the Heian period, such as “By the time of Bandai’s Bandai, he planted Masari grass Tamahishi seeds and became a chrysanthemum,” which is said to be the origin of Masari grass. In addition, the 9/9 Chungyang Festival is an event to decorate chrysanthemum flowers and drink chrysanthemum liquor with chrysanthemum petals to wish for immortality and longevity.

Autumn field
The mornings and evenings are cool, and the season is early autumn when the heat softens. Insects also make sounds, and if you look at the roadside and the grass, you can meet cute autumn flowers. It gives a vivid color to the season when you feel a little lonely.

Japanese sweets creators who are active in Kyoto carefully handcraft each one. We make such authentic Japanese sweets with a cute appearance that makes you want to take pictures. In addition, we offer two types of Japanese sweets as a one-month limited product, considering the concept according to the season every month.
