2022.10.29

From October 20, 2022 (Thu) at 10:00 a.m., we will begin selling a limited edition of 100 boxes of “Kami-gashi: Selected for the Four Seasons “Late Autumn in Kyoto”” made by a Kyoto confectionary artisan. The theme for this fourth batch is “Late Autumn”, and the beautiful flowers and seasonal scenes are reproduced in this assortment for your visual enjoyment.

Commitment to Quality Sweets

Craftsmanship
Each confectionary is made with the utmost care and attention by the delicate handiwork of Japanese confectionary artisans.
This year’s theme is “Late Autumn,” focusing on the changing seasons unique to Japan, and we have recreated the visually pleasing autumn scenery of Kyoto with great attention to detail, such as the autumn plants changing colors and scattering under the clear autumn sky.

【Kozuki’s “red bean paste”】
Kohzuki searches all over Japan for azuki beans, the raw material used to make red bean paste, in order to find the most suitable beans for each of our jōmonogashi creations. Then carefully select the azuki beans and, unusually for the industry, artisans carefully cook them in-house, taking into account the temperature and saltiness of the day.

Scenery fresh sweets

Two types of online-only
With the motto, “We want to help our customers create memories,” there will deliver fresh sweets from Kogetsu that are not available in stores.
These beautiful and ephemeral josekizashi, available only during this season, express the ephemeral changes of autumn, which are so dramatic and ephemeral. The visuals are sure to be a hit on social networking sites.

Ki Kare Shi (online only)
The burning autumn leaves are fluttering one by one in the strong cold wind, and the winter season is approaching us step by step. A dry wind blows the accumulated fallen leaves away, and the sight of the fallen leaves rolling down the path makes one feel a sense of loneliness. The scene of the season moving forward with the wind is expressed by the “withering of the trees. The mixture of tsubu-an and shiro-an (white bean paste) gives the cake a flavor not found in our past creations.

Momijigari (online only)
Autumn in the mountains is somewhat inspiring. Colored leaves fall into the river, and the autumn leaves, riding the currents of the water, bring news of the autumn season to the mountain villages. The scene of autumn leaves riding on the river to announce the change of the season is expressed in “Momijigari” (autumn-leaf hunting). The gradation of autumn leaves on the mountain is a mixture of yellow, red, and orange, giving the impression of an authentic landscape.

Utsuri kiku
Chrysanthemums gradually fade and change with the cold weather that increases day by day.
The chrysanthemums sway as if coming and going between autumn and winter, evoking a sense of wistfulness and the fragility of things. The faintly darkened areas represent chrysanthemums dancing in autumn.
